Hello there, and thanks for visiting my brand spankin' new website/blog. I know it's not 2001 as this entry title would indicate, but blogs started becoming popular right around then and, of course, I'm right on the band wagon in 2008. Chances are, as soon as I get this thing live, blogs will not be cool anymore. It'll be either that I made them uncool, or that my timing is just simply terrible.

This website has been a bitch! I've been building it pretty much since I got out of school about 3 years ago. Being the indecisive and very busy designer/developer that I am, this has taken countless iterations and hours to get before you today. Hopefully that makes it feel a little more special than it really is. If nothing else, this paragraph was my digital sigh of relief. I will now collapse on a digital couch and consume a digital beer. OK, enough of that. I know things are looking a little scant but this place is a work in progress and I will be adding bits and pieces on as I go. I'm just too antsy to wait any more years than I already have. Soon enough, I will reinstate my portfolio along with a few other goodies that I hope you'll enjoy.

So what's this place about? It's all about me! It's a test run really—I've never had a blog so its going to be a mystery whether I'll actually keep it up. But I've got a lot of nerdiness and miscellany to get off of my chest, so where better than my own website? I want to use this place to talk about all the things I love: design, code, San Francisco, dogs, my wife, beverages, hockey, etc. That list is in no particular order and does not act as a limit to what will show up here. I want it to be an outlet for my thoughts and ideas as well as a collaborative two-way road with like-minded people to open discussion and feedback on my posts. You interested? I hope you'll come back for more...
