CityCynic Remix
April 6, 2005 
As you may have noticed, I’ve redesigned the site. I call this version CityCynic Remix since it is based on much of the last design’s ideas, but now remixed, and thus, much cooler.
If you look closely, you’ll see I’ve added a speech bubble, proclaiming my wonderful blog slogan: “The life of a New Yorker who doesn’t know when to quit.” And it’s in a comic strip font, as all speech bubble text ought to be.
I’m not sure if this counts as a three-column layout or a four-column one. I guess it depends on whether or not you count the column of *me* as an actual column.
Hopefully, the remix is aesthetically pleasing to you guys. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments section. And if you need some custom web design, be sure to let me know as well.
Enjoy the remix!

Looks great, and seems a lot more functional than the previous version!

Thanks, Ivan. Functional is always a good thing, right?

“Ridiculously wide.”
That’s all I’ve to say.

Well, it is definitely wider, Mat. I assume you have a 800×600 resolution on your monitor?
I redesigned for a larger resolution this time because more and more people are moving away from 800×600 displays.

Actually, I browse at a monitor resolution of 1280×800, but obviously don’t do it full-screen. I don’t know if I’m alone in not doing so either, as I’ve observed the habits of those with large screen real-estate that like the accessability of multiple simultaneously-accessible pages without having yet to move to tabbed browsing.
So, take that into account. Some scaled version of Moore’s Law might apply, but the trends of screen size are less consistent with resolutions than with other factors of computing.
