Enter Neo­graphy.

Time to have a web pres­ence, improve my writ­ing skills and share my work. After years of not hav­ing my own per­sonal web­site, I’ve decided to give it a try.

That’s right, as if I didn’t have enough web­sites to keep updated, I’ve decided to start my own per­sonal blog in an effort to share some of my thoughts and at the same time try to improve my not so hot writ­ing skills. In addi­tion, this web­site will serve as a hub for all things me, a place to share all my daily find­ings, my work, pho­to­graphs, etc.

Before You Judge

I’ve been work­ing on this site for over a year. Shame­ful, I know, it’s what I get for not set­ting a dead­line. At the end of 2009 I decided I had to get the site up in Janu­ary of 2010, so here we are. I had to get this out there before another year went by.

The site isn’t 100% com­plete. There are sec­tions of the site which are unfin­ished and still need improve­ment, the markup and CSS will pos­sibly be re-written, so please look at it as a liv­ing thing that will be con­stantly chan­ging as I go.

Stay tuned, it will get inter­est­ing around here in the next few months.

In the mean time, have a look around, and if you have any feed­back, feel free to send me a note or leave a com­ment below.

Thanks!

    Awe­some to see this finally come to life. For a per­sonal site, I was inter­ested to see you broke away from using any subtle gradi­ents. Neo­graphy = new grounds indeed.

    Con­grats Alex! I really look for­ward to read­ing your writing!

    I really really like that you’re telling me how many char­ac­ters I have left, in case I get too wordy. I’ll try to com­ment in con­cise sentences :)
