It's on purpose and just a one-time fuck-around.
I generally find custom backgrounds make the blogs hard to read and so was inspired to take that aspect to its extreme.
I wrote the blog post, took a screen shot and cropped it down to just the text. I used this as my Blog's background image, tiling it both horizontally and vertically. My goal was to blur the boundary between the content area and the rest of the screen but also allow for the text to be readable.
My first couple of tries added the image to the background of ALL the sections of the blog (borders, comment area etc...) but that completely obscured the text of the post which is not what I wanted. I also had to leave the actual text mostly blank for the same reason.
It looks best if you are using the FromBasics Dark skin because thats what I took the screenshot in.
