When you want to see the stars, find someplace dark
Header Images
One of the fun features offered by the new theme is randomized header images. I have recycled a few of my back catalog of images to create a new look for the site. I am rather pleased with the effect. Sometimes this website/blog stuff is just fun.
In case you are wondering what they are, here is the cheat sheet, if you want it. I may add more images to the header over time.
