So yeah, I decided to redesign/rebrand; it was about 1.5 years with the old design and 2 years with the old domain. No worries about mandarb.net though, it will always work in your web browser and emails sent there will always reach me...
Notables to the right- blog and photo searching, a randomized travel photo from my wanderings, the 5 latest comments left on this site, an automated "currently reading" section courtesy of AllConsuming, a randomized photo of my cat Oliver, and the latest music to which I've been listening on iTunes.
Also, the little "up" and "right" arrows below each post indicate popup & inline links to trackbacks and comments. Accessibility-wise, popups are the worst, but they're also very convenient. Thus, I chose to use both and let the user make the call...
And lastly, I tried my best to make it look decent in the various web browsers/platforms, but there's bound to be some funkiness... Email me and I'll see what I can do.
