This is my site. Before moving my portfolio, I had all of my work/projects under the ‘Portfolio’ tab. And on the main page, I had a “Featured Project” listing. Currently, that has been replaced with popular tags and recent comments.

I’m usually infamous for changing up my site designs, but I’ve kept this one for some time now. I still like it, too. It’s simple but to the point. There’s nothing fancy, but there doesn’t need to be. It’s just a place to store some content (and my guess is most people choose to read that via RSS).

This is my personal site. It’s nothing special, but as a web developer, I feel that it’s important for me to have. I mostly ramble about programming-related issues, which works out because I often go back and reference them later. Plus, I’ve received a ton of help over the years via the comments.

I don’t like to think of myself as a “blogger”. I actually despise that word. I rarely say it (I don’t really like having the “Blog” link in the footer of this very portfolio, but it’s a common buzzword that most people are now aware of). I do enjoy writing, but if I wasn’t a web developer/designer, I wouldn’t be writing (or “blogging”) at all.

This site was built in Ruby on Rails and is running Rails 2.0.2 at the time of this writing. The code base is also a RESTful design.
