I decided it was high time for a minor site facelift and functionality update. Most of the site has remained just as it was, but I've changed the top banner, modified a few font and spacing styles, updated some content and added a bit of new functionality.

I think the new banner anchors the site much better than the old one. I decided to appropriate a standard man sign since I lack a world-recognized trademarked logo of my own. Maybe someday. As for the tagline, while I clearly have the "man" and "web site" part of my life figured out, I'm still working on the "plan" portion. But it will be a great plan, I promise.

In the upper right, I am now publishing my life status. Currently it pulls from my Facebook profile, but I may switch to another service if I find the "Brian is" construct too limiting. (Developer's Rant: If you're a developer and can't seem to programmatically load your feed, it's because Facebook does browser sniffing on all http calls, including feeds. Stupid? Yes. Just adjust your User-Agent string to fake IE or Firefox and you'll be all set.)

I'll have a general life-update to post soon. It's been a busy couple of months and I'm writing up the highlights.
