After browsing through blogs maintained by friends who take their blogging seriously, I thought I'd give mine a makeover. The header picture is something I clicked while hiking with colleagues at St. Cergue in the Jura mountains in Swtizerland. Remember the movie Jurassic Park? The "Jurassic" in "Jurassic Park" is the name of the period between 200 million years ago to 145 million years ago (at this point an idiot once asked me, "Is that BC, or just from today?"). The dinosaurs in the movie are from this era. And the name "Jurassic" comes from "Jura", which are the fold mountains that go through France and Switzerland, north of the alps. A lot of the limestone rock in the Jura mountains was formed during this period. Having digressed enough, here are some links to pictures from the Jura.
These are fantastic hiking areas, especially in the summer. And from the bright blues and greens in these pictures comes my new colour scheme for this blog. Of course, I have to work with several limitations, such as a slight prejudice towards dull monochromatic schemes and a mild colour-blindness that the CERN medical service discovered in my first week here. Anyway, if you're a male, there's a 17% chance that you have some problem with colour identification. So when you get angry, do you see red? Or do you see a different shade of yellow?
