Time for an site overhaul!

The new design is modeled after Fritz Lang’s 1927 classic, ‘Metropolis’, using the font for the header, b/w (and gray) coloring, and movie stills.

It seemed appropriate: since ‘Utopia Mechanicus’ is a site devoted to software and tech for the betterment of mankind (lofty goal, but it IS code bits and pieces I write to make life easier for at least one person, myself), what better design than something that reminds us of how bad technology can become?

It’s actually somewhat ironic – technology can help us, but in 1927 we hadn’t even gotten into the worst of it – synthetic chemicals, nuclear weapons, global warming – and yet THEY were concerned about the misuse of technology!

Hope you enjoy it.
