New design + traveling the world

New Threads

First order of business, this site has a new design! For all of you in feed readers, please stop on by.

My old layout got to the point that I cringed every time I loaded the page.  As you may be able to tell, I drew a lot of inspiration from Muxtape and Subtraction.  My goal was to create a site that used very few images, loaded quickly, was valid, and was easy on the eyes.  The design is a modified sandbox theme, and was completed in about four days.

I am considering making this theme available for public release, so please drop a comment it you encounter any bugs, misspellings, or ugliness.  Please be harsh.

Traveling

And now for the slightly bigger news. Come October 1st I will start a typical post-college backpacking trip of Europe (and maybe somewhere else).  I have one brother who is finishing up what would be considered tech school in England, and another that is entering an exchange student program in Hungary.  The plan is to visit them both, see the sites, and possibly take over the world.

This also means that I will be moving out of Philadelphia, and I have absolutely no idea where I will be living when I return.

On top of that, during the last week in August I will be driving from Philadelphia to Seattle with a group of friends to attend the Penny Arcade Expo.

Whew.
