"Mona Lisa": the Monthly Snapshot and the New & Old Style
Friday, January 29, 2021
Well, it's LIVE, my new design for 2021, making a clean break from the Retrowave of years past. Of course, new in this context actually means old, though, honestly my newer Retrowave is based on the movement emulating the older, which was stylized on what might be new...oh NEVERMIND with tracking that thought pattern! Welcome to my...different design. And yes, it'll be different again soon, as this is just the initial release. Then it'll be old...er.
My hope is that I can achieve a direct approach for you, my friends. It's far too easy, and this speaks to the entire web, to hide content either in plain sight or to pile it atop links atop links, deep down into the desk drawer next to that rattler of Tic Tacs. Quick segue: do they still make breath spray? I seemed to always keep one in my pocket around '93 and '94 before I upgraded to a thick packet of Piggly Wiggly purchased Winterfresh gum in '95 and '96.
I brought old content back to this site, everything that I know still exists...I've lost hundreds of posts over the years, but dwell on it I cannot! But in with the old, it's also in with the new! I have plans for additional content with the image below as a kickoff.

As 2021 is the year for me to Restore, Retrofit and Retrowave: Outrun the Night, I thought it would be fun to do a monthly snapshot each 29th—can I still claim last year's Leap Day? And while I moved on from The Yeard, it's not completely off my radar. Once I achieve goal weight, I'd love to make another run. Gotta beat that record of 8 months!
