 9## the name
10
11There isn't much behind **icyphox**. A common explaination I like to
12give: I like the color of ice, and I like foxes; "icyfox" was taken, so
13"icyphox" was the next best thing.

15## the colors and  fonts
16
17I used to use shades of cyan (`#00ffff`) along with a cyanish black
18(`#021012`) in the past. You may have noticed this if you had visited
19this site a few years ago. My color choices have since mellowed down --
20or perhaps, I have matured. I stick to shades of black and gray for
21foregrounds, and a plain white background.
22
23The fonts are set to `serif`, in this site's CSS. You are viewing your
24local system's serif font.

26## the motif
27
28There were many iterations of the motif, but I finally settled down on
29the monochrome, silhouette-esque one. Naturallly, the motif is inspired
30by a fox. I am, however, not a furry.
