I live in Durham, North Carolina, USA with my wife and two young children, plus a dog named Steve and a parrot named Tad.
|
|
|
|
My parents met at IBM and I grew up around computers (shout out [PS/2 Model P70][1]). We were online pretty early, first with [Prodigy][2] and AOL, then moving onto the web. I started making websites in middle school (a few I made in high school are [still][3] [online][4] as of March 2024). I interned at [webMethods][5] for two summers and saw both sides of the original web bubble. I studied Computer Science in college and have been a professional web person ever since.

I work as a developer and manager at [Viget][6], where I've been since 2008. Ruby is my primary language, but I enjoy working across a variety of technologies. I'm super interested in Golang these days.
|
|
|
|
When I'm not working or spending time with my family, I enjoy running, cycling, woodworking, making [music][7], and tweaking [Hugo][8] to my exacting standards.

## Colophon
|
|
|
|
This site is built with [Hugo][8]. I recommend Brian P. Hogan's [_Build Websites with Hugo_][13] if you'd like to set up your own Hugo site from first principles.
|
|
|
|
It's deployed via [SourceHut Builds][14] to a small Digital Ocean server running behind Cloudflare. I use [Caddy][15] in a Docker container to serve the site.
|
|
|
|
Image dithering is handled via a small webservice I've detailed in [a dedicated post][16].
|
|
|
|
The links on the homepage are pulled from my [Pinboard bookmarks][17]. I create plaintext backups of pages I link to with [w3m][18].
|
|
|
|
I manage my [monthly dispatch emails][19] with [Listmonk][20], also running as a container behind a Caddy proxy.
|
|
|
|
Source code is available on [SourceHut][21].
