Images too large

[macsj200]

There are a bunch of images on the homepage that are all unnecessarily high res, greatly increasing page load time. I propose we simply down sample to ~10% of the original size.

10x is too blurry, trying 5x reduction

[macsj200]

2.5x reduction looks fine on the thumbnail, but it's too small in the larger rendering of the image. Btw you can resize an image with the sips command on os x, i.e.

sips -Z 640 *.jpg

I think the best solution would be to serve smaller thumbnails on the homepage but larger files when the user clicks on one specific day.

^ alternatively we scan just use simple colors that can compress ridiculously small.
