It’s been a while since I’ve made a post. I’ve been busy with work, they’ve been paying me to take Microsoft certification exams so a lot of my spare time has been spent studying. The other sliver of my time has been taken up with reading The Road to Reality by Roger Penrose. It’s a good book, which is perfect for someone with my background. He goes into a lot of the mathematics required to understand modern physical theories. I’ve found this to be eye opening and has really given me a lot to think about. Both about the nature of reality and where to go with flightpath. Tensor diagrams are really interesting for example. I’ll have a few more posts about what I think about sections of the tome later on.
I’ve been wanting to do a custom skin for the blog since I set it up. I finally got a title image and a layout I was happy with. It’s amazing to me how much a little gradient makes a huge difference. The other big change is the color scheme. It’s dark. I’d never been fond of sites with dark backgrounds, but tying into the image of the logistic bifurcation diagram really called for it. I’ll see how I like it. I’m sure I’ll be making little tweaks here and there, but overall it has a good feel.
