The Compost Heap is a significant visual departure from previous versions of ShaunInman.com. Every item on this site (or any site for that matter) can be associated with an identifiable point in time. Each point encapsulates a unique frame of mind. As time passes, that frame of mind and the items associated with it become potentially less relevant and begin to fade. Visibly.
An item one year in the past is visually lighter than an item posted today. That same item will be even lighter in two years and lighter still in five. In 90 years—should this site, CSS, or the internet in their current forms, last that long—the same item will be reduced to white on white.

...other notes on the redesign: These Links? Again? are now full-fledged citizens of ShaunInman.com.
Light Text/Dark Background // Another interesting conversation from the end of the summer that I missed. I’m obviously in the moderate contrast, light-on-dark camp at this point. After 16 hours staring at a computer the opposite feels (to me) like trying to read a single sheet of newsprint laid out on top of a glaring spotlight. #
mmm I think I like dark backgrounds:
they.misled.us >> Dark Room

and I find this site lovely.
and the color fading with age of post int. elegant aesthetically ~ but, not in keeping with my tendency to value old posts no less.
