Holiday Roundup
January 3, 2006
I’ve been visiting the family farm in Alabama for the past week, and have managed to stay mostly away from all forms of technology invented after 1970. It’s been great, but the lack of internet access, satellite TV, or a dishwasher took some getting used to.
Now that I’m back at work, there’s a whole host of goodness to share.
Several of the sites I’ve designed for Matt Mullenweg and the gang at Automattic have launched. The new WordPress site launched last week, bringing with it the upgrade to WordPress 2.0. While he was at it, Matt and the gang also launched the site I designed for Automattic, the company that now oversees WordPress and Akismet.
The John Carroll School’s site has been garnering acclaim since its launch before the holidays. Silverpoint’s reputation for stellar standards-based design seems to be as strong as ever, from the reviews so far at the Godbit Project and Stylegala.
All in all, it’s been a blast—and having some time to relax with my family, and particularly my best buddy Camp, who I hadn’t seen in so long, was fantastic. Now I’m back in the saddle and will undoubtedly be waist-deep in code by the end of the week.
You just be ready for the carbombs bub.
I just have to give you some kudos on all the great work you continue to produce.
