Cover Photo
All the photography except the one above (obviously) are done by myself. The home page image is created specifically for this website. It was taken with a Nikon D7000 in our family playroom which gets a lot of natural sunlight. On the table is my 2013 13 inch Macbook Pro, my Rotring Newton fountain pen, my Leuchtturm 1917 Orange dot grid notebook, and our LEGO EV3 robot.
About this Website
This is the sixth generation of my personal website. Technology moves quickly. Every year or two I update the site. For 2014, I moved the site from my custom platform to Squarespace - the first commercial platform that provides a good balance between features and ease of use.
I started this site back in 2001. Check it out! I started with hand coded HTML, then switched to Dreamweaver and my own templates until Dreamweaver gotten really blotted and overpriced. Then I moved to Django, and use different themes developed by other designers. I gave it another new look in the middle of 2012. And now squarespace.
