I climbed down from the soap box to redesign my site.  The rants about India will return shortly.

I am a bit of a font-junkie, and a big fan of Wes Anderson movies.   Wes Anderson is a bit obsessive about fonts in his movies, or at least has one font that gets used for everything.  The Futura font family is used throughout his movies.  In case you don't have a working knowledge of wierd directors, his movies are "Bottle Rocket", "Rushmore", "The Royal Tenenbaums", "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" and his latest "The Darjeeling Limited".   The font has a nice symmetry and simplicity that I find appealing.   I had a bit of a Wes Anderson Film Fest today in honor of the arrival of his latest, The Darjeeling Limited.


Futura Bold used in "The Royal Tenenbaums"

The result is a new design that incorporates as much Futura as I could.    I was also getting tired of the mostly white and grey design I have had up for the last few years.  That site also had problems with different screen widths.

Please let me know if you have any problems or comments with this new design.   I had to edit the content of a couple of recent posts to fix a problem with the font color.  Apologies if that caused some readers to show the items as new and unread.
