Philip Glass's Sesame Street animations

I remember seeing these on Sesame Street as a kid. I hated them and was mesmerized by them. They’re pure geometry, mixed with color theory wrapped up and set to an exceedingly eerie score — particularly for a children’s program.

Time Sensitive

I spent some time this afternoon building in time and weather sensitivity to my blog’s design. I spent absolutely zero time trying to phrase that last sentence so that I didn’t sound like a complete dork.

This redesign was partly driven by Smashing Magazine’s ‘30 dark designs’ article, partly driven by Amy spending all weekend blogging, and partly driven by the fact that ever since Dunstan Orchard took down his blog I’ve wanted to do something like this.

It’s a first step, there are only basic designs in place for sunny day, cloudy day and night. I think I’d definitely like to get a “twilight” one in there, maybe a rain or a snow, and then maybe a few easter eggs as I come up with them.

Comments and suggestions are, as always, welcome.
