I have been thinking of updating the site for a few weeks now.  The old site was starting to look too old and I didn’t really like how some of the page elements came together. 

I have been thinking of what template I want to use and about adding another sidebar.  I finally decided to go with one of the normal Blogger templates but I wanted to add another sidebar on the left side of the page so I could include more content near the top of the page.

Added an new Flickr badge in the left sidebar and also a gadget showing some of the stuff that I have found interesting from the web compliments of Google Reader (my current feed reader, it is very nice). 

Those are the main changes for now and we’ll see if I adapt anything else.  I also plan to continue with the travel blog (see link in right sidebar) here in the near future and I’ll let you know when I get a new post up.
