If you count the time since my first throat scratch, it’s been two weeks. This is disheartening.<p>I’ve also discovered the pains of making your child sick. He’s incredibly happy almost all the time, but he’s coughing and has a runny nose and <em>hates</em> when I suction the gunk out of his nose. It’s a great incentive to stop getting sick.<p>I keep making apple pies because they’re delicious, but <a href="https://twitter.com/capndesign/status/524378164492267521">I’m having trouble with the crust.</a> I’m probably putting too much faith into Four & Twenty Blackbirds.<p>Okay, back to working on Kidpost. 2014/10/16 11:36pm <p>I buy into the spirit of tilde, but I realize I care more about the stripped down content than the limited technology. So I said goodbye to the webring and hello to some webfonts. In other words, here comes another blog.<p>It’s been 15 months since my last day at OkCupid Labs. In that time, I’ve done a few things.<ul><li>I had a baby. His name is Jackson and he’s almost 7 months old. There’s a picture of him in my first post here. Jori and I found out she was pregnant on her birthday, a few weeks after becoming unemployeed.<li>I built <a href="http://facebox.io">Facebox</a> with <a href="http://subtraction.com">Khoi</a>. It took 3 weeks and was a lot of fun. We mostly worked out of the SVA IXD office. We ran into <a href="/~ford/">Paul</a> a lot and that was nice. At this point, I thought I’d give freelance a shot. I had always planned to take time off or quit my job when a baby arrived; this made it easier.<li><a href="/~anil">Anil</a> asked me to help get <a href="https://thinkup.com">ThinkUp</a> ready for their crowdfunding campaign. I agreed and I’ve been working with him and <a href="http://smarterware.com">Gina</a> ever since. I already knew Anil was awesome, but now I know Gina is too. 👍<li>Khoi and I tried to dream up ways to make money and keep our independce. One day, he explained the seed of an idea he had for <a href="http://kidpost.net">Kidpost</a>. Despite our busy schedules, we’re close to properly launching this thing. I realize I’m a snob about it, but this is the only way I’d ever want to do a startup. Work hard with friends and try to build something people value with their time and money.<li>Two weeks after Jackson was born, I tried to work from home for a week. Three weeks after Jackson was born, I rented a desk at a coworking space 5 blocks from my apartment. Having no commute and a freelance gig meant tons of time with my son. This is probably the best decision I have made in my life.<li>Almost a month ago, I started contracting for <a href="http://29.io">29th Street Publishing</a> — more work with talented friends (hi David, Alaina, and <a href="/~noz">Nozlee</a>). Even though I’ve been primarily doing front-end dev this last year, I’ve only done design work for 29th St. up until today. That’s an odd change of pace, but it feels good to break a pattern.</ul><p>Obviously, there are tons of stories to tell about childrearing and the wonders of parenthood, but I’m not here to dadsplain. Also, it’s midnight. G’night, t.club. 2014/10/03 11:23pm I’ve uploaded all of my original websites here. You can find my <a href="index3.htm">first homepage</a> (and <a href="index2.htm">second</a> and <a href="index.shtml">third</a>), my <a href="guster.htm">Guster fan page</a>, and my <a href="bff.htm">Ben Folds Five fan page</a>. <p>There were some hard-hitting essays, like <a href="dairy.htm">“Don’t Buy Cheap Dairy”</a>, but I was <a href="mepics.htm">sensitive too</a>. Feel free to <a href="whomatty.htm">learn more about me</a>. 2014/10/02 05:03pm <p>Last night I had two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and one slice of babka for dinner. 2014/10/01 11:07am <p>Hi everyone. This is my first post. I’m not sure what I’ll put here yet, but I’m looking forward to having fun.<p>Here’s a picture of me and my son.<img src="me-n-jackson.jpg" width="100" /><p style="color: #777;">Comments are weird.
