My new personal website is finally live!

This was no insignificant undertaking. The last site’s design was made public in late 2000 with site tweaks in early 2001. Since then I have started, stopped, and restarted on a website redesign at least 15 times. Like any creative individual, I found myself my most difficult client and was never satisfied for whatever reason. This design has found the different voice that I have compared to my last site, conveys the attitude I try to convey in day to day life, and has a few homages to my old site.

You’ll see on the home page of the site the motto “Be Nice, Have Fun.” Everything on the site is designed to carry that theme across. Expect to find a playful and light attitude here.

The new site lets friends, family members, colleagues, and whoever else may want connect with me in more ways than the previous site. You can find my profiles for Facebook and LinkedIn on the contact page as well as a link to my Twitter feed. There is also a feedback box on the same page to let anyone drop me a message instantly.

New to the site is a blog. The goal is one update per week with hopes that there is more. I’d rather start small and achieve that goal than set a lofty goal that may not be reachable at this point in time. Expect to find everything from the silly to the serious to the sublime. If I can bring a smile or provoke thought, I have succeeded.

The most recent additions to the site can be found at the bottom of each page. The Latest Twitter area contains my latest posting as well as a link to follow me. The Latest Blog area contains my most recent blog posting. And the Miscellaneous Randomness area…well, you never know what you’ll find there. Feel free to interact with the content that shows up there. It’s usually something that has been stuck in my brain that I wanted to share.

My portfolio has been updated. Some of my old work is still present, but much of it is new to my site. Short explanations for the work help give an idea of the concepting and problem solving that went into each piece.

My links page contains a lot of destinations I hit regularly online, as well as links to past employers, schools where I teach, and companies I support. There are also a number of friends that I am throwing props out to on the page.

And the adventure begins anew!
