Years ago, when I was much younger and visiting a couple of friends in New York, we saw a musical called "Ragtime". It has some truly amazing songs, but it's one of the less than stellar songs that inspires this. It's from a song called "Gliding", and it's about an immigrant and his daughter running from a riot which turned ugly when the police showed up and started shooting. He's trying to calm her down, and he starts singing to her about ice skating while showing her a flipbook that he made. At one point he sings, "Are you happy yet .. are you happy yet?" and that line always made me laugh. It's meant to be a completely serious question, but it always struck me as an exasperated parent asking his child if she's finally satisfied.
So.
Are you happy yet?
I don't know exactly what direction this is going to take. I do know I'm going to put up some of my photography here -- in fact I've already started, look at that! Unfortunately CSS2 doesn't allow for dynamic resizing of background images; it's something that's planned for CSS3. So if you're running on anything other than exactly 1280x854, it's going to look weird. People at higher resolutions (like me!) will see the photograph in the center, surrounded by partial repetitions of it on all sides. People at lower resolutions will see... well, in theory you should see the center of the photograph branching out to whatever resolution you're running at. Let me know if that's not the case.
