I changed the website. It was due for a refresh, anyway, and I wanted to return to a simpler bit of code. For a long time the idea was to find the art in the simplicity. And then I found some other fancy things and did that for a few years. Like with so many fancy things, there’s a lot to like, and some elements to tolerate. Ultimately, it comes down to how much coding you want to do, and, again, there’s something special about doing it all with a little.
So go check it out. It looks like this:
Eventually I’ll change around the background, but all the buttons work and it is responsive to different browsers and different mobile orientations. Simple. Effective. We like that.
I’m working through the last of my latest haul of crinoids.
I’m looking forward to returning them to the wild.
Still need to work on the pictures of small things.
These next two are filled with a few millennia or so of sediment. You could drill that out. I’ve toyed with the idea. I prefer the open ones, but maybe a mud scientist, a pedologist or an edaphologist would like these more. Maybe they could learn something from it. Maybe it was a good year for mud when it seeped into the columns. Maybe it was a bad year for mud when it decided to stay.
There, I’ve anthropomorphized mud. It’s been a full day.
I’m not often lucky enough to find crinoids with these more involved characteristics in the center. It’s pretty cool.
Guess the mud knew to stay out of those.
