Shiny New Look, Same Old Drivel

Apr 19, 2008 geek, ramblings

Redesigning your website is like getting a haircut. If it’s a good haircut, you walk out happier than when you walked in. You stand straighter, walk with a skip in your step, and maybe actually pay attention to combing your hair for the next week or so.
