Bioethics, healthcare policy, and related issues.
After much complaining, and no action on my part, I’m tweaking the blog a bit. I know my clever half-gray font color was hard on the eyes; I’ve finally reverted to plain black (hyperlinks are still in a subtle gray, because, hell, using a color or something would be way too wild). My blog theme is a heavily-edited thing I pulled off some guy’s Web site, and, while I like it, it’s not that well organized, so further tweaking will be slow and subtle. Things keep going invisible because I can’t tell what the various codes do until I change them, and there’s a decided polygenetic feedback situation that makes changing some of them a dicey proposition. But I’ll try to slowly polish it until it’s got just that perfect featureless lack of color I always dreamed of.
This is just to let you know that your eyes aren’t deceiving you – you can actually read the text now. Suggestions for further improvements are welcome, though the overall basic layout is going to stay as it is. Keep those cards and letters coming!

I like the change a lot. Not only does it make the text easier to read, it seems to give the whole layout a bit of a bounce. Cheers!

Hi KTK! I was about to post in the shoutout thread, but here I can actually say something vaguely substantive. The biggest problem with the layout, for me, is that with the body font so huge and the side columns so wide, the readability is not great – I only end up with about six words per line and a lot of scrolling. It would be great for smaller screens if the body text came up a little smaller by default; and maybe even greater if there was only one side column instead of two?
Additional minor tweak suggestion – it would be great if the comments weren’t in exactly the same font/size/colour as your piece.
Otherwise, I like the colour scheme especially. Nice and clean and easy on the eyes.

I’ve reduced the font size just slightly, but I can’t seem to make it variable so you can change it in your own browser. I know it’s a problem on small laptop screens.
