This site support multiple Alternative Page Styles, this feature is available in Firefox, as well as several other browsers.

If you’re not fond of the “Light” colored background, jump up to your browser’s “View -> Page Style” and select one of the other alternatives.

Unfortunately many browsers have removed this option from the user interface, contributing to the sad trend of taking control of the internet away from end users.

Additionally, you can choose to view the site in your browser’s default style, but I’ll warn you now, it won’t be pretty. Most browser developers completely ignore the default browser stylesheet, going so far as to make it difficult if not impossible to modify these styles without third party plugins.

However if you’re savvy, you can always modify this default style sheet yourself.

← You notice that? Yeah, no one can. But what you don't see on most websites can be rather intrusive. It's a analytics "bug", which could allow me to see when you visited my site, and where you came from.

Don't worry, I am not tracking you, in fact you'll notice I don't use Cookies or JavaScript. Why would I... it's just a blog page. To see just what information I collect check here.

Out on the internet however plenty of people who own websites are all too eager to track you, or allow third parties to track you, in order to make money off of the data they collect…turning you into the product…all with out ever letting you know in any meaningful way.

"But I have 'Do Not Track' enabled in my browser!" Sorry... that's only a suggestion to the people who manage the websites you visit. Plenty of websites simply ignore that setting. Find out what you can do to protect your privacy vist the Mozilla Foundation's article, Tips To Protect Your Only Privacy.

Oh, and that tracking image...Just mouse over the arrow to see it...
