Thunder and Lightning

Monday, August 24, 2020

I'm considering on moving beyond this synthwave theme for my website, one in which I've built and tinkered around thereafter since 2017. I've updated it as a child theme for WordPress themes Make and GeneratePress; a standalone HTML file; and for this latest iteration using Minimal-Mistakes. While I like it (CLEARLY), I wonder if it's time to move on?

I want to change my focus...change the core of things.

Honestly, I would like to spend more on content than color...while still giving heed to legibility, of course. If I never see another needling serif font for body text, my life would not be incomplete! And honestly, if a website goes way past 544 px for its text's width, I'm thinking either it's a) the '90s again; or b) I'm on a safari across my monitor waving to Mordor as I pass!

I began listening to an album from my past that was a regular on the rotation at a coffehouse back then, the music I heard after a turbulent and transformative period of my life, some 20 years ago in this upcoming fall season. Twenty years ago this August, I failed a Business Finance class—the first F of my life and I didn't care—I didn't even show up for the final. The funny thing is that I liked the professor and still remember his market advice. But, I was at the threshold of thunder as it was the opening salvo of the storm for my soul.

And at this point I'll leave my audience to pick up tomorrow...
