About This Blog
I'm a graduate student in sociology, but this isn’t really a “sociology blog”. I do occasionally write about my research (currently on politics and technology).
I'm also a longtime Mac fanboy, a recently converted Unix nerd, and an amateur programmer, so I write a lot about little tips and tricks as I learn them. I manage a fairly large WordPress blog and am most familiar with PHP, but I'm currently learning Ruby and toying around with Objective-C, so that should give you an idea of what you can expect.
I also love music and have been playing the guitar since I was a eight, so I write about music quite a bit too.
I used to post here more frequently, but I've decided I like having separate places for writing (which I do here) and for sharing stuff, which I now do on Tumblr. I'm also on Twitter, if you want to count that as blogging.
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.
