new background/icon

I thought they fit the design and I was tired of my colorful icon blaring out at the reader. Perhaps my favorite photos to look at are ones of early construction of skyscrapers (refer to icon and background). They just are so fun to look at. One reason I enjoy them so much is because when I lived in Vienna, Austria as a young chap, there was a subway I used to go to every now and again. It was two stories and on the way up the stairs there were pictures on the wall of skyscraper building. I don't really know why, I guess because you were going up. It made me always dizzy and I enjoyed the feeling. It made me feel high up. Another reason is just how calm and in control they seem to be. They just with nothing to support their backs and feet, are smoking and laughing as they could fall 100 stories down. And I'm sure these are the sort of people who come up behind you when you're looking over an edge and shake you for the hell of it.

Anyway, I'll try to update more.
