Agnate Manifest

The new Blogger control panels are all pretty and everything, but the whole site seems to load slower and has a much more commercial feel. Makes me wonder how long until they go to a paid system like LiveJournal. The old Blogger panel had a more "raw" feel to it, and made a guy feel like he was getting something cool for free. All the rounded edges are a bit frou-frou if you ask me. Pyra labs goes metro-technical on us. Next thing you know, Emo Phillips will be running for President.
