Website 4.0

This site has been a running experiment for several years using a few bad designs in my earlier days. After a few years of sitting on the last stock template and learning more about web design I felt it was time to take another stab at designing my own template for this site. It took a few long nights and a ton of pretzels, but I think the end result is well worth the effort.

In the coming weeks (likely months) I hope to finish some of my older projects for this site including some tutorials and finally giving the about page a little more content.
