David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

My sources tell me that the crew at stltoday.com will be rolling a redesign out tomorrow morning. Their stated goals include better use of screen real estate; a more interactive, Flash-based "Top Stories" feature; and a more muted color scheme. Certainly, the first and third items are rather important. Especially that last one. Stltoday.com has always tended toward the crayola areas of the color spectrum. And not the jumbo-sized, sharpener built into the box crayola crayon colors. More like the basic 8. And that has made the site look a bit garish. Hopefully the new scheme improves things. (Although, to be honest, its hard to imagine a scenario where they don't. The current site is pretty damn ugly.)
