About This Blog
I’m a web developer in Kansas City. I work for BOLD. My framework of choice these days is Django, but I also maintain some WordPress websites and plugins. I’m a long-time Mac user, and I particularly like exploring OS X’s Unix underpinnings.
I have a PhD in sociology from the University of Minnesota, and while I’m not an academic anymore I’m still involved with the sociology scene through my work with The Society Pages, where I run the website and help out with editing and podcasting.
As for hobbies, I love music—I’ve been playing the guitar since I was eight years old—and I like to run, so posts about both of these things can be expected around here.
This blog runs on Jekyll (you can see the source on github), which is the fourth blogging platform I’ve used. I started blogging with a Mac application called iBlog, moved to Blogger for awhile, and then from May 2005 to October 2009, I ran a self-hosted WordPress blog. Some posts from all of these blogs survive here, though I deleted the vast majority of them. They were pretty awful. I sincerely apologize to my early readers.
