You may be noticing some flip-flopping in the look of my site these past few days. Call me a good little Democrat, I guess...but it's also come to my attention that I have ADD when it comes to the design of my webpage here. I'm trying to settle on something within the constraints of the Typepad templates and I can't. I love the airplane graphic - although it's a little hokey - because it kind of fits with my travel jones for this year. The type in the template is just too light and small, though. It hurts my eyes to read it and I want to make reading my ramblings as painless as possible for everyone who drops by. (Hi everyone who drops by! ; ) ) I'm going to the Blogher conference in a week, about which I am SO excited I can't even tell you, so I'm hoping to get some good design hints there - maybe some that will work with Typepad, or maybe I'll move up to Wordpress. I haven't decided yet. I'm taking a class on iLife and Communication Design in the fall, so I can become truly, truly dangerous. In any event, I've decided to go back to my old standby pending a major overhaul, and I'll probably stick with that for a day or so...Unless I get itchy to change it again and do something else, because I'm crazy like that.
Speaking of Blogher, I've never been to California before, and I'm so excited about it. I spent way too much time on Tripadvisor.com yesterday (my standby travel-planning site, if you've never seen it) researching options for stuff to do in the Bay area. I'm staying a few extra days so I'm planning a day trip to San Francisco. The train is an hour from San Jose to San Francisco, so if I leave really early in the morning I should be good to stay a full day and poke around, in time to get back on the last train at night. I'm really looking forward to it - lots of techie, blog community stuff at the conference and two new cities (plus a tentative sidetrip to Santa Cruz - rock on!) I so need another solo trip.
