Stolen “Losers of the Year”

Someone in Japan took part of a video I made (“Losers of the Year”), edited out all non-flatland stuff, dubbed some rap over it, and uploaded it to YouTube.

Well, unless you’re reading this in an RSS reader it’s pretty obvious that I launched this site’s new design. Nothing earth-shattering, just a (slight) improvement over the last minimalist/unfinished black & white version.

New Ugly Design

The design of this site has been pretty much the same since I bought the domain in 2000, when I hastily put the site up to help with a job search. I’ve been wanting to redesign for years, and lately wanted to add new features and switch over to PHP. Anyway, I finally decided to …
