I succumbed to the temptation to "update" the look of this site. As with any radical renovation, many regrettable decisions had to be made. For example, two years of witty reader comments (nearly 2000) had to go into the scrap heap along with the old, goofy color scheme. This makes me sad. A certain blog-hosting site guaranteed that I, the user, would still be able to access my old template, and lo, there it is, but they have made the beta and haloscan services incompatible. Your comments still exist, and I can visit them whenever I want. Unfortunately, I haven't yet figured out how to make them available to all. Until then, please make use of the fantastic "kvetch" option.
