Distracted Mind

I should have listed another eccentricity in that previous list: my compulsion to change my weblog’s design. It’s been a seasonal thing, but the whole snowflake and snowman thing was just a tad too cutesy for me. It’s hard to write a good rant when you know that there’s going to be snowflakes on the page.

Because the last design was just _so_ saccharine, I decided to go a different way with the whole thing, creating _Distracted Anatomy_, which uses medical illustrations from the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries. Why? Because I love medical illustrations, which is strange since I’m pretty squeamish when it comes to the whole blood and guts thing.

This design is still somewhat in progress, since I’m figuring out some new and fun ways to do things (CSS Shorthand, anyone?), but at least there’s no snowman!
