An update of my folio site is long, long, looooong overdue. Even the most conservative of sites like the BBC or the NYT have changed their site design at least once since I last changed my folio site.

In the time that has elapsed since I last updated my site in 2004 (yes it really has been that long!) I’ve not been completely idle. In fact I’ve been unbelievably busy enjoying life with my growing family and working hard on general client projects, some of which have been more fun (kamvar.og, greyworld.org, distilled) than others.

I did find time for one small personal project late in 2007, but more on that in another post.

Anyway, during the long neglect of my folio site, my good friend Alexander Kohlhofer must have updated his personal site 20 times or more. Over these many iterations Alex has distilled the authoring and updating of a personal site down to a fine art.

This alchemic reduction is best explained by Alex himself in this post. Basically what this means is that thanks to some smart web 2.0 type apps (Tumblr & Friendfeed) I’ve finally been able to find the time to make a new personal site. Yay! And who knows, I may even get round to updating my folio site using similar time saving tricks some time soon?

Here’s hoping I’ll now develope a habit of posting to this shiny new blog of mine a little more frequently than my site update record would suggest!

Until I do manage another post there is of course always an endless supply of noise.
