The sunny choice was more like a vision test. We really thought we were doing something back then.

My old signature was light blue on white, basically invisible. Guess I thought mystery was a good aesthetic.

Oh man, that unlocked a memory. I used to think yellow text on an orange background was a great, sunny choice for my blog. This was before dark mode was even a thing, but man, it was basically just a solid beige block. You had to highlight it to read anything. I guess we all learn about contrast the hard way.
