Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

Updates, Updating, and Updated

Thursday, August 28, 2008

A few site changes:

First, I added a Twitter feed over on the right hand side, mainly so that there will be more frequent updates. How fun.

Secondly, I'm probably going to be changing the layout soon. I like the visual look of this one, which renders nicely at a decent resolution in Safari and Firefox/Camino, but it looks like poo when rendered for the IE folks. Also, the third column disappears when the browser window is too narrow.

Finally, I may go back to having Blogger host parts of this website, to increase reliability (ha, ha) and decrease the (embarrassingly small) load on the server. Okay, bad reasons, but whatever. It'll be a project because I have a lot of images that will break when I do it.
