Chris Gammell's Analog Life

New Theme (for real this time)

by

Hey everyone,

I took the time this Thanksgiving to give my artistic skills a shot (and my pathetic attempts at modifying WordPress templates…PHP and HTML are not my forte). If you happen to read this post and you have any thoughts on my new blog of a picture at the top, I would really appreciate it. I got the idea for the blurry circuit from a great new book I’m reading “Analog Circuits — World Class Designs”, edited by Bob Pease. I’m only just starting the book, but enjoyed the simplified model of slew rate in an op amp and thought it would look cool on the top of the page. If you have any other thoughts or additions you think I should make to the site, please leave them in the comments. Thanks!

~Chris

New Theme

by

Hi Everyone,

I have been reading some ways to take a blog to the next level, linked by the ever resourceful and connected Seth Godin.

I am considering switching themes. I had a rough time of it when I was using StumbleUpon a while back and came across a few different sites that had the same theme as this one. It’s a testament to the creator of the theme, but a bad way to stand out.  As such, I’m going to embark upon making my own theme. I’m sure there will be some component of circuits and analog electronics on there. I mean, this is an analog blog, right? If you have any suggestions for me, please leave them in the comments.

I’ve also gotten tired of seeing the main column of this blog be so narrow, so I have adjusted the width and am working on adjusting all the peripheral columns and such. If you are having trouble seeing this site, please leave a comment or email me (see the contact section of the blog). Thanks for your help!
