What's up with the funky new background?
You like it? It's just me...
I started working on redesigning this site during 2009, and I was fortunate to be able to work with a really talented designer at Heritage Digital. Philip asked me what kind of things I enjoy, and what defines me, and we set out to make the design more reflective of the stuff that I actually like! So, if you are interested (and I have no idea why you would be!), here's what's up with the left side of the new background.
Obviously, a cup of coffee is at the top. This is really not a fair one, because I actually HATE coffee! I like the way coffee smells, though, and it looks cool, doesn't it?
Next is a portion of the cover of one of the standard blood banking/transfusion medicine textbooks, "Rossi's Principles of Transfusion Medicine." GREAT book, very accurate, and very detailed. I use it a lot.
You can tell that the iPhone that comes next is not mine, primarily because there is empty space on the home page! I use my iPhone all the time, love it, and wouldn't be without it.
Baseball is my favorite sport, by far. I grew up in a suburb of Detroit, and I spent as much time as possible listening to the Tigers on the radio and going to games whenever I could convince my Dad to take me. Even now, there's hardly anything better than going to a ballgame with my family (even if I have to do it in Colorado and not Michigan!).
I guess the guitar pick is pretty self-explanatory. I love to play guitar and just wish that I was better. In all honesty, I'd rather play bass guitar if possible, because I am better at it than regular acoustic guitar.
Finally, last but not least, there is an "In-N-Out Burger" logo at the bottom left. If you've never been to California, or even if you have and missed out on In-N-Out, you are missing a little piece of heaven, let me tell you! I don't really even LIKE hamburgers, because I'm convinced that at most hamburger places, you have to worry that your burger is made of 3% moose lips and 2% mouse whiskers, but In-N-Out is amazing! You've got to try one the next time you visit California, Arizona, or Vegas.
Too much info? Probably so, but people keep asking, so there you go...
