As usual, I'm playing around with the fonts and colors, and will probably do so for a while.
I'm driving for the most minimalist look I can generate. Something like the menu of an extremely hip hotel bar in Copenhagen. Nothing extraneous. But still readable.
The fact that this is explicitly a professional / research blog, and not a personal one, is behind this drive for minimalism. I don't want things to distract from the ideas. And, come to think of it, except for a postcard or flyer on the cover, I don't decorate my real notebooks, either.
I'm also trying to get the visual space between the posts and comments down to a minimum-- to level (at least somewhat) the implicit hierarchy that exists between the two.
Though maybe after I finish rereading William Gibson's Pattern Recognition, I'll revert to something more colorful.
