About
The Site
The site is built using the stevenson framework, a powerful and easily-customizable static site generation tool. The twiddly bits were written on a Mac using TextMate and deployed to the Slicehost server using Git.
The Type
The webfonts used on this site are Superclarendon for the pretty headers, Adobe Garamond for the body, and Museo Sans for some contrasting sans-serif detail work; they are all served by Typekit.
The Icons
The icons used on the Social page are from the Social Network Icon Pack by Komodo Media (Rogie King).
Although the past 18 years that I've been breathing have been the antithesis of a Michael Bay script, some interesting things have happened and will now be recounted in abridged form.
I was born and raised in the hot, humid, and lovely Charleston, South Carolina, where I am finishing my last year of high school. My first experience programming was at the tender age of twelve with Macromedia Flash (in those pre-Adobe days); after much fiddling around with Flash sites, I started messing around with the PHP Hypertext Preprocessor. A couple of years passed before I realized how crappy a language that was. I learned Python (and even wrote a semi-awful web framework in it). Then I ditched Python and jumped onto the Ruby & Rails bandwagon, which concludes the adventure.
Currently I work for Fuzzco—I used to be an intern, and still try to be the intern in spirit—where I deal with their complex programmatic problems. When I'm not busy embracing senioritis and Fuzzco'ing, I go to Charleston Ruby User Group meetings, fool around with Node.js, dump thoughts onto the Internet, and take pictures.
