The new logo design
For months I tried to design a new interface for my website. There have been lots of ideas and lots of thoughts. I wanted the old design to become a classic (maybe it did, maybe it didn’t), but then I changed my mind — I’m a man who likes to create new things and play with new ideas. One idea I experimented with in the new layout is the vertical grid: every line of text is vertically aligned between the content and sidebar areas.
I wanted to get rid of the static pages — they were hard to update. I wanted the new site to be lightning fast, so there are no images in the layout: all the details are made in CSS, and there’s no JavaScript at all. The pictograms you see here and there are made in CSS too. I will release these icons for public use in a package called Peculiar.
You might have noticed that there isn’t a logo anywhere. That’s because I have new ideas about how a logo should look.
Comments are disabled because they are the only thing that turns a journal into a blog. I don’t want a blog; I want a journal of my online activities. I may want feedback too, but I think a short and interesting e-mail does that better — and of course I will answer every one of them.
After all that being said, he wishes he was born in a country where (Romanian) English was the official language.
