It’s spring. I’m feeling the itch.<\/p>\n
The itch, that is, to vary up the look of the website.<\/p>\n
So, I created a custom stylesheet to overlay formatting styles on top of Tarski. I’ve done this before; that was how my Doctor Who<\/i> look two years ago worked. Tarski was the underlying code, and then a custom stylesheet on top of that modified things.<\/p>\n
I took a free CSS template I had laying around — “Space Travel Is Boring<\/a>” by Collin Grasley<\/a> — and started from that.<\/p>\n I’d downloaded this stylesheet last fall, and I spent an afternoon hammering it into a WordPress theme that I ultimately never used.<\/p>\n I still had the files, though, and I took the color stylings from that to create a custom stylesheet.<\/p>\n I actually don’t like it. There’s nothing wrong with the design. I think it looks fine.<\/p>\n I’m just not a fan of the light text on dark background look.<\/p>\n So it may only stay around for a day or three.<\/p>\n I used one of Tarski’s built-in header graphics instead of the rocketship from “Space Travel.”<\/p>\n Last night’s House<\/i> was wrenching to watch.<\/p>\n Also, did David Carson direct the episode? There weren’t any lights on anywhere. It was like Picard and his lackeys in Star Trek: Generations<\/b> forgetting to pay the electric bill all over again.<\/p>\n Sorry, just kidding.<\/p>\n I thought the cinematography on House<\/i> last night was rather stunning. The dark, somber tones and lighting schemes gave everything a haunting look.<\/p>\n I wasn’t expecting the turns of events that closed the first act. At all.<\/p>\n House<\/i> is going to get gloomy, methinks.<\/p>\n Cubs :cubs: won yesterday. Nationals lost.<\/p>\n The campaign begins!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s spring. I’m feeling the itch. The itch, that is, to vary up the look of the website.
