this website

special thanks to joshua davis for helping me implement this site.

technology: it has been fully designed with code only.
it was made using wordpress for these reasons:
1. it is easier to update. at first i was going to program a new flash site using xml to make it easy to update by just dragging files and adding text, but this is easier.
2. i wanted to make my images bigger and loading time in flash would be longer because the entire file has to load before seeing anything.
3. you can leave comments
4. you can rss feed
5. i have direct links to my projects. hello!
6. wordpress has a bunch of plugins.
7. this gets fun!
