Julie<\/a> has convinced me to alter my text color (white-ish on black is hard on the eyes). I\u2019m not sure if I like this one (at all) but figured I\u2019d see what readers think. If you have suggestions for what looks good on a black background let me know, preferably including a link to a site that uses it and a hex code, but just your thoughts would be nice.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also noticed recently a reader in Seattle, operating on a Mac, reading my blog way more than any typical reader does. I also noticed that this reader comes to my blog with some odd search terms and poking around rather odd corners. AND this same Seattle reader has been checking out some of my friend\u2019s blogs and\u2026 well, it\u2019s just a bit odd, that\u2019s all. If you really enjoy my blog that much \u2013 thanks \u2013 but if you might like to contact me directly, please feel free: buddhistethics AT gmail.com. If you have other, more creepy motives, then please move along\u2026<\/p>\n
