About

I’ve been writing online since 2001, doing everything by hand. It quickly got to be a hassle to hand-code everything, check it, and then post via FTP when there are several robust web-based tools available. Of course, it took me years to get around to changing this workflow. In the middle of March 2005, on or about the fourth birthday of this weblog, I bought a new domain and switched over to Moveable Type to maintain the site. Movable Type worked great until I got tired of the huge hassles of redesigns and upkeep, and the upgrade to 4.0 sounded a little too time-consuming. In early 2010, I migrated to WordPress in search of more flexibility and ease of use.

My wife, daughter and I live outside Baltimore in a ramshackle ex-doctor’s office/house with a now manageable number of cats and a truckload of plaster dust. I freelance as a web designer and illustrator. I own an old truck which looks ugly now but will be slowly restored as time and money permit.

I take photos with a Nikon D70, Canon G3, Canon SD900 (new-skool) a Minolta X-700, Rolleicord, and various antique 620 format cameras (old-skool.) Here’s a link to my Flickr account, if you haven’t already found it.
