Birthday updates
December 11, 2008
On my homepage, I describe myself as a “28-year-old designer”. Sharp-eyed observers will notice that’s now inaccurate—I turned 29 on Sunday. So for the past few years I’ve logged in shortly after my birthday and updated the number manually. This...Continue reading...

Remote Posting for Movable Type
February 26, 2004
I would love to post using something other than MovableType's default interface, but I'm not sure I can. If you can read this entry, my experiment worked and I am a very happy man. UPDATE: Ok, it worked. Sweet. Basically...Continue reading...

January 30, 2004
