Attempts at making things interesting...

I'm constantly tweaking and experimenting with the design of this site. I know that few ever see it, so it is a safe place to experiment. I can play with typography and experiment with my spacing in a care free environment. I hope that one day I might make this into something more than an occasional sounding board for my scattered thoughts.

I've been also been using this to snag my pictures from my vox, and give folks another way to discover my iPhone snapshots.

I'll be leaving for Vegas in a short while, and I'm very excited for the time off to defrag. I'm not sure how the weekend will go, but I think it will be nice to be around my family for a bit.

Spacing

about 1 year ago - David Crean

It seems like my most recent obsession is pixel precision spacing. In past employment, I never had to pay too much attention to the minutia of every pixel that appears in a website. In more recent months, it's been all I've been doing.

I've discovered through this process how important it is to the professional look and feel. I now pick apart other sites and look at their spacing. It's a point of supreme importance to me anymore.

About Me

I'm a UI developer living in Los Angeles with my wife and 5 hell-raising cats.

I will randomly be spouting my random thoughts and highlighting work that I'm proud of, or sometimes, not so proud of.

One aside about this site, I don't go out of my way to hack around IE6 here, I spend enough time doing that day in and day out. It should work reasonably well in modern browers, but I don't go out of my way to hack around fawlty border implementation or lax support for child selectors.
