This website was made on a Mac, designed in Photoshop, developed in Coda, version-controlled with Subversion, deployed on a Dreamhost Private Server, and stat-tracked with Mint.
The backend is custom-built in CakePHP and will be an on-going personal project. The pain of updating my last hacked-up, Wordpress-based portfolio was the motivation for creating something easier to manage. So, I wrote a CakePHP plugin that synchronizes work on this website from a collection on my Flickr account. With the number of dead simple ways to upload to Flickr, updating my work here becomes a breeze.
The Tumble section is powered by the great microblogging service, Tumblr.
A couple CSS3 properties are in-use here including @font-face, text-shadow, and box-shadow; the WebKit-specific property -webkit-transition is also used for subtle color-fades on hyperlink hover events. What I'm getting at is this site looks best in modern browsers like Safari 4, Firefox 3.5, and Google Chrome, but should degrade nicely in earlier versions. It will look decent in IE8, okay in IE7, and IE6 users will get a stripped-down version courtesy of Universal Internet Explorer 6 CSS.
Although oft-overused, headlines are set in still-wonderful Museo; tumblelog published-dates are set in Junction. A few icons from the Glyphish collection are in-use here, as well.
