Something seem a bit different but you can't put your finger on just what it is?   Understandable.   I've only redesigned the entire site.   Nothing much.

I've kept everything minimal, while taking advantage of more screen realty.   Support for 800x600 monitors is no more and the design is intended primarily for monitors of 1280xN or higher.   The content itself still occupies less than 800px in width and is aligned to the left instead of the center, so everyone will still be able to read it.

I'm also rockin' a new domain name, derekwalkr.com which is now considered primary.   derekjwalker.net still works just fine, though.   The URIs of pages isn't so "backwards compatible," so to speak.   The entry archive is now located at /archive instead of /list or /entry/list.   In fact, no /entry/* URI works any longer.   The official location of all entries is at www.derekwalkr.com/title-of-entry-#### with #### being the entry ID.   The simpler www.derekwalkr.com/#### also still works.

I've also completely redesigned the Gamercard, utilizing the official API instead.   This helped add a couple features I wanted, but there's still a little work to be done.   The Gamercard isn't visible at this time, but when it is, it'll be off to the right under the logo.

There's also an upcoming microblog feature that will be subscribable as an RSS feed and an IE Web clip.   It should show up in a few days.

There's surely more, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Being trendy fails when it makes you look like the intellectual inferior to a kindergartenerJust The Tip - Just for a second. Just to see how it feels.

You may say that I'm a hypocrite for berating Valve for never meeting release dates, but who's more qualified to judge than the pot to their kettle?

Is it just me or does the woman in the PS3/God of War III commercial seem like an entitled, whiney little bitch?

Xbox Gamercard - Because you can't tell the players without the score cards.
