Let me tell you about my boat… er… site.
“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.” ~ Carl Sagan
Oh. Hello, there.
This website was created using a variety of software for Mac OS X. The three programs I find most indispensable are Adobe Fireworks, CSSEdit, and Espresso (both by MacRabbit).
I take a lot of pride in the fact that the site was hand coded with love and an eye towards standards. In particular, HTML 5, CSS 2 (and a teeny tiny bit of CSS 3), and some jQuery voodoo. Because early versions of Internet Explorer had very little and/or bad compliance with web standards, if you're using anything lower than IE 8, it will likely break. If you can't upgrade your IE, I recommend installing Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Opera.
Typefaces used are ChunkFive and Yanone Kaffesatz with webfont compatible versions generated by Font Squirrel. I used lettering.js to fine-tune some of the typography.
I host with Dreamhost (and have done so for nearly 10 years). Currently, the blog is by Tumblr, but that may change in the future.
Most importantly, I consumed approximately three and a half cups of coffee during the building of this site.
I'm a social creature…
