It's like I fell asleep in class one day, except that then I woke up as Haskell Curry. Xplor.In is going through a pretty interesting transition right now, where it functions less as a means of obscuring your urls and more as a method of seeing what all my friends feel is worth posting to it. (Now that I've got the bookmarklet in my bookmarks bar, I just sort of post anything that looks slightly interesting).
People make fun of me because of my total lack of design skills, as is certainly evidenced by Xplor; the color scheme looks like somebody's retarded kid won the web design trophy in the Special Olympics. Somehow, I thought that owning a Mac would make me effeminate, trendy, and especially good at interior design, but it turns out that while I know exactly what color any random hex string will give me, I have a lot to learn about making them not look like a melted box of crayons.
Obviously, I can't take criticism on any level without trying to do something about it. I was just going to urinate in the coffeepot, but then someday I might forget and drink coffee, so instead I made sure everyone knew I could fake pretty by designing my really-truly home page in shades of grey. Mostly because you can get away with being a color moron if everything is in black and white.
