It's hard to believe but 2008 marks the 10th anniversary of my personal web site. The Wayback Machine picks it up in 2001 but it began in 1998 as a way to help find a job during the dot-com boom in San Francisco. It worked and I soon found myself working at a web development company call Vivid Studios (not to be confused with Vivid Video). Since then the site has undergone roughly four major revisions which have included the addition of photos and blogging.
To kick off its 10th anniversary, I'm starting off fresh. The photos will be back soon but most all of the old outdated content is gone. I'm coming to grips with the fact that while I would like to, it doesn't always make sense for me to build every application from scratch. So, this edition of the site is being built on top of the MovableType publishing system (version 4.1). I even forked over the $100 for their professional pack because the designs it comes with are pretty slick and it allows me to manage more than just my blog.
As time permits I'm going to be moving my photos off my server and into my Picasa Web Album. I plan to use their services API to integrate the photos directly into my site but we'll see if time permits. There are literally thousands of photos so it will take some time before I get them all loaded. In the meantime, I'll try to get my old album back up and running but if you're dying for an old photo, just let me know.
