a couple of people have asked me about the design. well, i'm here to tell you: i was inspired by/ripped off the v/ox blog. sorry v/ox dudes. except for the green, which i picked at random and has the magical ability of looking like a different color on every monitor i view it on. the header font is poynter agate comp, which i used because i used that a lot when i was designing pages for last quarter's project (cause it's a startribune.com font) and i like it. i had wanted to use that for the post titles, too, but tommy didn't have it on his computer and he was the one who implemented it so i believe we're using minion myriad. the header is temporary until brilliance strikes us, which, seeing the rate we move on blog stuff, will be two years from now. which reminds me that the blog's four-year anniversary is coming up, which: whoa. there'll be candles and cake and stuff, don't you worry.

some small fireworks went off near reagan just as my plane touched down last night. besides the worry factor in people, uh, setting off fireworks near an airport, it was pretty awesome.
