Redesigned-ish

Been having the itch since the beginning of the year to make some changes to my year-old site design. So I worked on it on-and-off for several days, and launched it last week. In addition to some small clean-up, I’ve changed some fonts and colors. I’d barely want to call it a “redesign” at all, but there are some fun details I want to note.

April Had Some Great Dev Culture Content

Don’t know what it is about April, but there were a lot of great posts and presentations about development team culture that really struck a chord in me. Here are a few faves; take a look if you haven’t already.

NY ♥ Boston

Did this quick logo mash-up in SVG (exported to PNG and WebP) to express support for Boston during these trying times. Stay strong, Boston!

Please take, use, and change as you see fit!

Self Hack: Take any train at 23rd Street and 8th Avenue

One of my New Year’s Resolutions (really, the only one with a specific action) is to write a blog post at least once a week. The idea is that I’ll get better at writing with frequency. As you can tell, I’m already behind, but here’s to catching up!

Part of fulfilling my quantity-for-better-quality strategy means smaller, sillier posts (as if my prior posts bore any heft) like this one, in which I simply write a tip to myself whenever I find myself on the local-only downtown platform of the 23rd Street and 8th Avenue subway stop.
