Lemony Goodness

Saturday, May 20, 2006 | comments (11)
Welcome to Nicolasix, Summer Edition. While the layout is mostly the same, you will notice a few changes:

The main navigation menu has moved to the top of the page, where it has always wanted to be, but until now, has never been able to muster up the self-confidence or poise.

I also threw in some very 'Web 2.0-ish' grayscale fades (because I'm nothing if not fashionable and hip and I need that reflected in my site).

Since it's summer and all, I removed the picture of me waking up and, in it's place, put a big juicy lemon. Now, if you think I'm going soft on you with the bright happy color, I will remind you that the lemon is one of the bitterest of fruits. So suck on that.

And for a little bonus entertainment, try clicking on the Greek symbols over on the right, above the RSS heading. Go ahead. All the cool kids are doing it. It's fun.

I'll wait . . .

See? Now, couldn't you just play with that shit all day and all night? It works a little better in Firefox, but should still do it's thing if you're using IE. Oh, and it's brought to you by the good folks at script.aculo.us. (Thanks Thomas, if I'm ever in Vienna, I'll certainly buy you a beer.)

So there's more changes to come, but that's all for now. Leave me a comment. Let me know what you think. And let me know if anything looks (or behaves) funky in your browser.

The lemon doesn't show unless you're on the main page. :(

Oops. Thanks for letting me know. I fixed it.

All look very fresh and pretty.

So, Mr. Web Designer, does this mean you can help me make the drop down menus I just added to my site look better?

supercool. supercool.

Kim - Thanks!

Jamy - Not too much you could do with drop-downs, but I could try!

Sparkle - For now, I only put the greek on pages that have long right navs.

I'd like to think that God had the best of intentions when he created chipmunks. But even God has days when he feels a little ornery, and all he feels like doing is kicking back and letting off some steam. So he invites Old Scratch over to his place and they smoke a couple of bowls and play a little XBox. And, over a heated game of Madden 2010 (they get advance copies of software) they think up ways to piss people off, or ruin Jason Lee's career.

I've had a few late nights this week. Because it was time for a remodel. And remodels happen best at night. And I just hope my new neighbors don't have sensitive ears. Because my office shares a wall with them. And there have been keyboard taps coming from over here. Lots of 'em.
