New blog format, what do you think?

I got an interesting email from someone who noted that the bright red background made it hard to read my blog at work - i.e., if someone walked by and saw my blog up on the screen it would look fishy with all the color. So, I decided to try to make the page a bit more text-y and wonk-y, without getting too boring. Removed the background color, and a bit more. Hope this isn't boring, but rather helps some of you read this at work and get away with it :-) Let me know what you think. JOHN
