We have made a small change to the home page of the Journal (https://sparroworks.ca/) to bring the look more in-line with modern design styles ... and, let's be honest, to see if we could manage the techie stuff.

Having been "inspired" by the biking frogs I thought to try to bring the idea up to date a bit and ended up with this bit of home-grown artwork ... the 'Paper' app on my iPad is terrific for sketching:
