Refresh

Over the last month, in between all of Gwen's treatments, we've been toiling away redesigning our website. There are still a few more things that we're going to add to it but we decided it's ready to face the world now. The only real new feature is the site search at this point but more is on its way. I'm going with a 'command line' motif for now. I may change it at some point but I think there is a rule preventing you from changing your design more often than actually writing. The other pages have some pictures whose origins I'll let Gwen write about at a later date. 

I know what you're all asking though, what language is this writen in??? I'm still using MonkCMS for our backend but I rewrote the front end site in Node.js. I'm also using Redis for caching. Node.js can be pretty challenging at times as it really makes you think about what you are doing, but it offers some pretty steller performance. There are some pages that used to take six seconds to come up pre-cached that now come up in a second. I think I've worked out the kinks, but please drop me a line if you see anything out of place.
