About a year ago I launched the third iteration of the Paper Plane Pilot website. While versions one and two were fairly different from each other, versions two and three were fairly similar. Version 0.1 from 2006, by contrast, was a simple radio player for me to pass around song ideas.
Version four, however, marks a major overhaul of paperplanepilot.com — in look, but also in functionality and programming. Compare screenshots of version four with versions three and two:
Apart from the new look, version four sits on a completely separate engine and was coded from scratch inside WordPress 3. For those of you on devices that don’t support Flash (iPad, iPhone, etc), there’s also a new radio player that works on pretty much any device.
All in all, I’m super happy with the new website. It’s the best PPP site yet, and all the work that went into it behind the scenes makes it easier for me to keep everything running smoothly around here. So, go ahead. Kick the tires. Just don’t break anything. 
Wow…. it IS totally different. I like it; well, I like them both in different ways. The new one is more 80s/retro like you see in many of the indie electronic websites nowadays, but I felt like the old look fit my perception of you better. Does this also signal a shift in sound?

Yea, it is. I didn’t exactly shoot for it but it’s what I ended up with. Funny you should say that because the new track I’m working on is fairly different from anything I’ve done to date, at least for now. You got anything cooking?
