Thanks for the comments; I am always striving to make this look less like a stock Manila site and more like my personal site. I thought that the original design achieved that, but as I get further and further from the default template, I realize that I still have a ways to go!
The Q is in Tahoma, regular width, 500 point. Of note, every picture on this site is served from the Frontier database itself, so if you go to the pictures master page (http://q.queso.com/pictures), you can generally see the graphics isolated; for some of them (like the big Q), I try to put notes about how I did them (fonts, colors, etc.) so that a year from now, I can reproduce it if I need to. So for the big Q, the page is /images/bigBackgroundQ.gif — it’s got notes about how it was done.
All I needed was a golden weekend (for those outside medicine, a weekend that I actually get off, with no call in the hospital) to start tinkering again.

Who am I?
I'm Jason Levine, and have been keeping this site since the waning days of 1999. I'm a physician, a husband, a father, a scientist, an uncle, a photographer, and an unapologetic geek. I currently live in Washington, DC, and wear the two hats of a bioinformatics researcher and a clinical pediatric hematologist and oncologist.

I like it very much. Is there anything you’re not good at?
