Iterative Development
Ground control didn't like zachstronaut sitting on the launch pad with a storm of content brewing just off the coast (there is a lot of stuff I've been eager to post online), so the site blasted off a bit early. Because of this there are a couple of areas in particular that I plan on redesigning and/or re-factoring later: comments and the projects page.
Fixed Positioning Fun
The design for this site — with the rocket that blasts off as you scroll and the lunar horizon that rises to greet you with the footer — was accomplished with some clever use of CSS, specifically: position: fixed; and background-position: fixed; All of the pixel artwork and icons I did by hand. The craters on the moon were especially fun to draw.
