The shape of the year
Now that we've been going since September 2003, I'm starting to enjoy the pattern made by the archive months as they snake down the page. If you blur your eyes, the year has a pleasant shape, like groovy vases sitting on top of each other.
The autumn/winter months have long names. Spring/Summer months have short names. I wonder how that came to be?

in the summer, you just want to get out in the sunshine, so you need a month name that is quick to scribble down. in the winter, though, you've got a lot more time to kill so you can be a bit more leisurely about it.
