New background

May 16th, 2008 by Dave

I’ve done one last thing before putting site work away for the weekend: I’ve changed the background graphic. If you don’t believe me, hit F5, and you’ll see.

Originally, the background just featured elements from the Bellagio carpet, but it now features bits and pieces of at least a half-dozen. Can you guess any of them? Hint: They aren’t all from Las Vegas.

C’mon, give it a shot…that’s what comments are for.

I’ve also spruced up the title graphic, as you’ll see. I tried the monochromatic look for a few days, thinking that I’d focus more attention on the text. But after I had time to think about it, it just looked boring. After experimenting with color, I’ve decided to add motion.

    I see the famous Peppermill Planets, which make me hungry.

    Also a Caesars motif, which doesn’t make me hungry.
