actually i'm really digging the white layout...

the 'halotivations' header is awesome against the white.

I like the look of the white page more, but the black page takes less power to display, so you use less electricity and yada yada so on and so forth...So in conclusion, the black background is better.

quoting a quote of a study: http://davidkpark.wordpress.com/category/blackle/

But is the claim even true? Like all things, not everything is so simple. You will save 5-20% if you are using a old-style CRT monitor,. According to recent data, less than 25% of the web use CRT monitors. If you are using an LCD screen, you might be actually using MORE energy. LCD monitors work by having a continuously on backlight, and energy used to block the light from coming through the LCD screen to our eyes. Some case reports of people testing their own monitors has shown that this energy increase may be measurable. By the way, if you are using a CRT monitor you are also using about 5 times more energy CONTINUOUSLY compared to an LCD monitor. If energy conservation is really your concern, it might be time to switch. LCD prices have come down a lot.

Please don't go white...it's just too plain and boring. Black somehow adds something. And the motivation banner things look better against black. I prefer black and the shit about the energy well fuck that
