Thank you for the feedback. Would you say the gigantic font is distracting? I have yet to add a proper mobile style, so it's even larger if you're reading on a phone, lol. Are you doing similar work now? I haven't returned to anything bioinformatics related, though I do miss it.

> Would you say the gigantic font is distracting? The funny thing is that I have Firefox set to default to 80% of the regular font size and my first thought was, "This article is using a large font size" - and then when I cranked it back up to what a normal person would see, it got kind of out of hand. I personally use 18px for both desktop/mobile on my blog to keep things consistent and find that it strikes a pretty good balance. I do like the font choice though - Montserrat is a solid choice for the web. > Are you doing similar work now? Unfortunately it's been ages since I worked in the bioinformatics space - I'd love to go back to it in an academic capacity at some point though!

  Same, there's something magical about using computers to look at genes. And thanks for your honest review. I took a look at your blog and spent some time playing the Aladdin game, I liked that it got comically fast. One thing I really loved on your site is the changing profile picture every time you scroll away, that's a fun touch.

    Thanks! I'm a huge fan of easter eggs so I try to put them in everything I develop. Glad you enjoyed the Aladdin game - I wanted to make a full version of it and release it properly on the Apple Store but didn't particularly feel like getting sued into oblivion by Disney. > The name was never changed because the "Actually Two Different Old Vero Women Ice Age site" was just too much. I forgot to mention - font size aside I really enjoyed the article. This line cracked me up. Gave me flashes of "Three boys in a trenchcoat" paleolithic exhibit / little rascals vibes.
