I'm Stylin'

I finally had a chance to play around a bit with the stylesheet for these pages, something I'd been meaning to do for ... oh, about two months now. I didn't accomplish too much, but at least I got rid of those awful default colors and created a new image for the header.
(Side note: stare at that header for a while and tell me if it doesn't look just the slightest bit, er, creepy. I didn't see it at first, but after a while I got the distinct impression that something otherworldly was approaching out of the fog. Or maybe that's just me.
)
I may try something more ambitious, style wise, in the future. At the very least, I'm sure I'll tinker with the colors some more. So don't be surprised if the next time you stop by, this page looks completely different than it does right now.
By the way, I must send belated congratulations to my buddy, Dan, for being named last week's Opera Community Member of the Week. While we all appreciate blogs that are silly/artistic/fun/eclectic/humorous/poetic/bizarre, it's nice to see someone acknowledged for doing serious, thoughtful work.
Dan's blog is deceptively simple. At first you think he's just collecting news about Opera and offering some off-the-cuff comments. Eventually, you realize that he's doing some really heavy lifting. He puts a lot of thought and effort into his essays.
Back in the days when we were both active members of Opera's USA Ambassadors, I always looked forward to a post from Dan. Even when I disagreed with what he said, I always learned something.
It's the same way now that he's blogging. Whether they're meant to simply remark upon the news, clarify some confusion, cut through the fog of press release BS, shake up the status quo or even challenge the Opera establishment, Dan's remarks are always illuminating and a lot of fun to read.
