Should I keep with the light text on a dark background?
Switch to dark text on light background? No preference? I'm not seeing any convincing evidence that either one is inherently preferable to the other.
Personally prefer black text on a white or very light background, but that's personal, not evidence.
I was referred here by Scott Alexander and you have a number of extraordinarily rational, sane posts--I'm into sanity, it's in the very name of my blog.
One last thing; I have read Stranger in a Strange Land seven times, am wondering how you came to be Jubal here? He's often portrayed as a stand-in for Heinlein venting about all the things that he disliked about society. You, too?
The blog name is not something I carefully deliberated over. I wanted to blog one day, and quickly came up with a somewhat random title. I had read a lot of Heinlein ~10 years ago, but was never an uber fan. I did like his very strong main characters, like Jubal from Stranger and Lazarus from Time Enough For Love.

Thanks for the feedback, and for your kind words.
