I just redesigned. Again. It's been, what, about 19 days? Yeah, that's long enough. It turns out the previous design was just too different for me. I loved it for the six hours I worked on it but as soon as it went live, I began to dislike it.
I started playing with this design while at SXSW after grabbing some colors from a photograph I took at the bowling event. Yeah, the photos I've yet to upload. I know.
I completely stole the idea of the navigation dimming from Meg Hourihan, although my method doesn't use an imagemap and it will still work without images/css enabled, so it's a little more bullet-proof.
It's good to be back to a more me-esque design. I feel better already.
