Fresh Paint Job & a Look Under the Hood

Fresh Paint Job

This is the fifth six reincarnation of this website. The site started as a collection of random projects/scripts that I used while at school. Over the years it's served mainly as a place to post my portfolio and random projects.

This is is still going to serve my portfolio but it's focus will be on writing. Grey Storey of Airbag Industries and now Happy Cog West posted a tweet about a Seth Godin article that gave me the gumption to stop coding this site and to start writing content for it.

Why I started Airbag: "Writer's block isn't hard to cure...write poorly, in public, until you can write better." http://is.gd/sBbcmk @Brilliantcrank on 27 sep 2011
