Just fell in love with this cheesy background. Not too distracting, yet fitting with the geeky look/feel of the site. One thing that pesters the bejeezus out of me is the way so many blogs just look like all the other blogs out there. I don't proclaim mine to be immensely innovative, but it does throw a different look into the mix.

I've had to explain this a few times, so I figure what the hey ... why not put the explanation on here as to why this site looks the way it does. It's not an accidental design in which I just gave up on after a certain amount of time. No, its quite intentional. Its actually an homage to the first word processory program I used on my old Commodore 64. I had to type in the thing out of RUN Magazine in Machine Language and it was surprisingly nifty. Unfortunately, the only colors I liked that gave me enough contrast were black background with either green, red, or orange text. Red had the least contrast of those three, orange is T.U. colors, so that leaves Green as the color of choice.

So there ... isn't your life just a little more complete for knowing that?
