Decided to spruce up the design of this blog. I wanted texture, and here it is!

Decided to not use any PNG transparency hacks and just let the browser do what it wants with what I throw at it. As a result, the few visitors that are using IE6 will get less-than-ideal rendering.  I may add a “This page won’t look right in IE6″ message later.

The background could use some compression optimization as right now it looks a little crappy.  Drop me a line if you have any great suggestions for tools to optimize this kind of image (I have an uncompressed version to work with).
