I guess I should write something this year ;) Well, I have, but I’ve really been enjoying Ello.co as a writing platform lately, so if you’d like to read more, please visit there.

After getting a decent way to create a file on GitHub just using a POST from a form as Brock Boland spoke about with his Jekyll posting interface, I thought I would take this one step further and figure out a way to use the GitHub API to create that file instead of taking you to GitHub’s new file interface. This was much easier than I expected.

This blog is now powered by Jekyll alone (was on Octopress). Brock Boland recently wrote about moving his blog to only Jekyll and I’d been wanting to do this for a while as well so I don’t need to worry about generators and such at all. Only took about an hour. Generate a jekyll site with jekyll new [site] and then just move your posts over, tweak your settings and theme and you’re done.

On Sept 27th 2010 I was married to the love of my life, Jenney Marie Richards. My best man David Burns, wrote a speech that was both moving and heartfelt. I record that now for all eternity (assuming the internet is immortal and all):

As a child I learned how to speak. The sounds I heard my parents produce helped to form coherent thought patterns in which to relate with the world around me. No, yes; good, bad; dog, cat; hot, cold; all sounds that came to mean something to a normal human being. I replicated their sound and shared.
