I was thinking of messing with the colours on this page for a couple of reasons. First, I got an email complaining about the contrast. (I suspect it’s my preference for spindly fonts that is really the villain here, but still.) Secondly, We Are The Champions. Well, actually they are the champions, but I think spending two winters in Syracuse entitles me to a little vicarious celebration when their sporting teams succeed. Hence it is orange day here at TAR.

Rest assured, the orange is just a temporary step on the path to the real final colour of the blog. It is fairly hideous. But be grateful that my current employer, that would be Brown University, did not just win something equally momentous.
