End of an Era

Since February 1996, my homepage has looked more or less the same. Before that time, it was the same old plain text that defined most of the Web (black on grey, if viewed with Netscape 1.1). I turned the background black as part of the "Paint the Web Black" campaign in protest of the so-called "Communications Decency Act".

And it had been that way ever since. In fact, it has looked that way for as long as my wife has known me. Oh, I've added to it, sure, but the overall design has remained unchanged. But the CDA flap was nearly six years ago, so I felt it was time for a change.

I'm not sure whether or not I like the new look. Perhaps it's just my deep-seated resistance to change. It's better organized, I think, but somehow it just doesn't have quite as much character as the old one.
