I’m considering the Athena template for web use right now. Not for this site. No, I’ve basically tabled the conversation on how to make this site sing. I have other sites I work with–mostly fun wheeling stuff like the houseofbeys beyblade site for the kids and a school site I cooked up for honors students. It is the latter that seems perfect for the Athena format. The more I study Athena, the more I recognize that it is the only ‘issue driven’ format I’ve used. The price is steep–$50, but is actually cheaper than what I spent on a suite of site templates that all ended up looking exactly the same (see houseofbeys.com) and offer very little in terms of design flexibility or user friendliness.
Odd that I rolled out of bed thinking about web design, but there are days where my mind is nothing but work work work. Usually its Thursday, because that marks the effective end of my teaching week.
Some Thoughts:
- 5 minutes into the blog I ran out of stuff to say about the web. So, here we are finding 5 minutes more of stuff to write about.
- We can start with the total inability to sleep. It has gotten worse over the past month, shifting from unable to get myself down to the sleep itself having very little value. I wake up with a sore neck every morning.
- When I do wake up it launches me straight into the debate of whether or not I ought to go to breakfast. I used to catch a meal at Village Inn, but I haven’t been in so long that it would feel weird to go back. It’s the same narrative that formed at The Southern Rail where I used to go every Monday.
- At some point I will blog about how I spend my time. Poorly. The answer is poorly.
