Primordial Ooze WordPress Theme is up on GitHub

Although the  theme is still not ready for prime-time, here is the link to GitHub where it’s ready for forking. https://github.com/NickCody/PrimordialOozeWpTheme. Upcoming changes will be around:

  • An article summary main index page (possibly)
  • Links to archives, rss
  • Links to the static files that make up the legacy for the original Movable Type Ooze (from 2003 to 2008)
  • Sleeker comment threads
  • More contact information in the footer
I’ll also try and add +1, tweet this, reddit this, etc. to my posts though I’m not so bold as to think anyone will ever actually click on these.

 

Manhattenhenge is coming tonight July 11 at 8:25pm

From the NYT:

“Bright Lights, Big City” takes on a whole new meaning during Manhattanhenge, the semiannual phenomenon when the sun so perfectly aligns with the Manhattan grid that it shines on both sides of every cross-street. (May 31, 8:17 p.m., and July 11, 8:25 p.m.; the best views are from the east and from the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings.)

As long as I’ve worked in the city, I never witnessed this myself. It’s probably more stunning if you are in a cab going North or South and seeing the sunset pop into view at every cross street.
