Coming back to the blog after a month or so, I was hit by a fit of  minimalism. Hence the new design. I was aiming for a clean, uncluttered look. I removed most of the sidebar items and created a couple of new Pages instead.

Also, I feel compelled to apologize for how slow I’ve been to respond to comments in the last few weeks. I hope to be a little better about this going forward, and I may still go back and post some long overdue responses.
