Mucking around with a different site design. (more)
From the how to blog design guide the components of a modern/standard blog are broken down. In trying to simplify the design of SSR in its current incarnation I removed the header and secondary links sections. Most blog headers are too busy or too big. For instance Design Observer's header draws the eye away from the content. I am probably going to redesign SSR again soon, once I decide on a layout. I want to integrate camriley.com and the AFC site into it. Probably through some form of tabbing or javascript switching - I am not sure yet. (more)

One of the supporting experiments for the Big Bang theory is the isotropic cosmic microwave background radiation. It is the residual energy for our universe existing the way it does as a system. What of the internet? It is a complex system with all sorts of network effects. Does it have an isotropic background energy or activity level? With the change over to the new software system for South Sea Republic there is some data to explore that question. (more)
Some more changes/updates. An alternative intro could be, "what cam did on his friday night ..."

Via Bill de hora:
I [Bill de hora] am moving off Movable Type. In favor of my own codebase. I've decided weblogs are to this decade as editors were to the 1970s. You have to write your own. It's a pretty thin rationale - the 1970s more or less sucked as I recall.South Sea Republic has done the same. I have moved it from scoop to a homebrew. (more)
Clubtroppo is holding a 'best of 2006' compendium
, presumably to compile some of the best of the online republic of letters that may have been missed in the hustle, tussle and high-frequency of internet publishing during this year. Meta-reflection inside.
