An e-Rant about Politics, Religion, Software, etc.

I am an evangelical Christian. I am first and foremost a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.

So far this blog hasn’t seen too much activity and hasn’t even touched anything remotely related to politics or religion. For the most part, that’s because I have been completely swamped at work and just haven’t had the time for anything that wasn’t related to getting the project at work off the ground and running. Thankfully, we have a delivery coming up on Monday, and there is an ever so slight drop in pressure as we ship a release.

So this weekend has been the first time in weeks that I have had the leisure to really examine my blog again and think about its look. After playing around a bit, I found some inspiration in the wee hours of the morning and managed to update the look of the blog once more. I’m not certain whether this is the final product, but it definitely represents a first step towards defining my own look for this site. Thanks go out to Malin for some useful pointers about colors and contrast!

So, what do you think?

One of the items was a small plush ball that most dogs would probably enjoy squeezing and gnawing on. But not so with Bodie. Let us observe the inevitable tragic outcome.
