Iritis ... as I write this. I've been diagnosed with a painful condition of the eye, called iritis. I thought it was "pinkeye," ostensibly the result of a cold virus I had been fighting but it's much worse. Because my eyes erupt with pain while looking at bright light sources -- such as computer screens -- I'm going to take some quality time offline.

I do notice one thing now, as a result of this sudden malady: websites designed with black text on white backgrounds are exceedingly hard on these (relatively young) eyes. I know most people use the black-on-white look because it's the closest thing to ink on paper, but maybe that's not such a bright idea. A computer screen isn't paper, Sherlock. Do us all a favor, you black-on-whites, find some softer tones for your site background. Think about it: a white background plus a computer screen: you might as well stare directly into a lightbulb.

Anyway, I hope to be back this weekend, or next week sometime. There are plenty of great weblogs in by blogroll -- scroll down, on the bottom right. « 4:17:55 PM »
