When I retire a header image I like to preserve them in a blog post. My local file system is full of ghosts and forgotten relics. That’s not a place for an image that once stood proudly on the mantel of my website. This way, I can say goodbye without saying goodbye. Who knows? Maybe It will inspire future visitors.
Old header image:
In the short history of iamneato.com, it’s had a handful of different looks. Today, this website gets another new look. I wasn’t very pleased with the last design and I wanted to redesign it as soon as it went live. I finally got around to it and I’m happy with the results. It’s simple accented with a little bit of silly. That’s a formula for perfection in my book (the book of “The most amazing and useless stuff for people other than myself”).
WordPress 2.7 is giant leap forward from the version I was using prior. I’m still getting used to the new interface but I’m really impressed so far. Great work WordPress peeps!
I’ve noticed a trend. It appears my levels of motivation and dissatisfaction (with my current website) peak at the end of each season. The last day or so have been clouded with the strong urge to redesign. So that’s exactly what I did. To honor the arrival of Spring, I’d like to introduce the iAmNeato.com refresh.
I’m feeling good about the redesign, but I’m sure I’ll want to scrap it in a few days and create something new. That’s just the way I roll. 
Below is the old header image:
I’m so sorry IAmNeato.com; I’ve been busy. Are you mad? You understand don’t you? I know you have been yearning for some new content, but the wait is over. I got a few new illustrations especially for you, three to be precise.

I’m not as egomaniacal as the title of this website implies. In fact, I’m fairly humble and easy to get along with. I love to have fun. My life goal is to surround myself with fun and get rid of all the junk that isn’t. Fun is the primary motivation behind everything I do (money is secondary). Sucking at my job (software developer) isn’t fun, so striving for continuous improvement ensures I will suck less than I did the day before. Learning, to me, is the most attractive aspect of my craft. Software development is evolving and in this process, there are no masters, only students. Impostors are easy to spot.
The text below is what I would look like if a powerful sorcerer trapped me in a short list.
