I fear my son growing up in a world where this is Looney Tunes.

Today marked the opening of Christo’s The Gates, Central Park, New York City, 1979-2005, an installation he had first conceived of in 1979.

It was a cold, sunless day in the City, but that was perhaps the intent. The banners fluttered madly in the wind, yet were oddly silent.

Despite the large crowds, it was very quiet. They looked like orange teeth poking up in the landscape.

Welcome to the fancy-pants new version of Dalahus.com. With this new format I’ll be in a better position to share random thoughts, the type that most people really don’t want to hear anyway. Technology!

And speaking of random thoughts, let me walk you through where everything is. On the sidebar to the left are a number of direct links. First up is my photo gallery, the same one you know and love. Next is AutomatorWorld, a site I launched this year in support of Mac OS X 10.4’s upcoming scripting environment (if you have to ask what this means, you won’t care anyway). Any others links should be self-explanatory.

Further down the sidebar you’ll see a random image from the gallery; reloading the page will bring up a new image. Clicking it will take you to the actual gallery page of that photo. Nifty, eh?
