New Look
/This post doesn’t quite make sense now, but it did on April Fools day of 2020 when the site was redesigned in the style of The Magic Cafe (if you can call that a style). There’s a screenshot below and the text of that day’s post beneath it.
Sadly, I have to postpone the contest I mentioned recently for one more day. My friend who has the prizes on hand was just able to get me the photos of what we’re going to be giving away a little while ago, so I will definitely have that post ready for you tomorrow. I’ve come up with a contest that will benefit everyone who enters. And yes, it’s really going to happen. This isn’t some dumb April Fools prank. I don’t even like April Fools Day. Especially not the way it’s practiced online. It’s always just a bunch of corny ass bullshit that no one would ever believe. It’s just a waste of time and energy.
On a completely different subject, I wanted to use this post to announce the new look of the site going forward. Last Summer I got together with a 14-person design team and we spent three weeks discussing ways to bring some new life to this tired, old website. For the past eight months they’ve been banging out those changes. We went through 116 designs until everything was perfect.
I gave the designers three criteria:
It has to be both beautiful and sophisticated and ooze class.
It has to feel like it’s on the cutting edge of design. Not something that looked like shit 20 years ago and then hasn’t been updated in the interim 20 years.
The color scheme should definitely not be gross and nausea-inducing.
I think it’s safe to say they hit it out of the park.
Do you like it? You don’t have to answer that. I already know you don’t. You love it. You’re welcome.
