A blog containing tequila and truth,
science and skepticism, culture and
cynicism, wordsmithing and wonder,
and an abundance of alliteration.

Remodeling
I've made a few changes to the old place. Let me know if you hate them. Not that I can put it back the way it was, mind, but adjustments can be made if things are hideous.
A couple suggestions: for my eyes the type size is very small, and the line length is around 180 characters. For optimal reading some research supports limiting line length to about 95 characters. I'd do that basically by creating two classes of paragraphs: text and image.
I've been toying with the idea of making the content div really wide, but limiting the length of paragraph text within it. To accommodate bigger photos without overstretching the text.
(Since I have not re-designed my blog in 5 years, this has been on my mind lately. Feel free to ignore my brain tremors on the subject)
I think the background being a more neutral color helps. A bit more contrast between it and the primary text color would be better, at least for me.
I almost never have my browser in full screen mode, so I hadn't noticed what george.w is complaining about. He's right, though, you probably want to limit that somehow.

I think your blog could use more pirate and zombie stuff.
