    Loops, and my Sanity

    I love these little ear plugs. They have worked into my life in ways I never considered when I first got them, but I now own several pairs and always have one in my pocket just-in-case the mood strikes me.

    Rediscovering WordPress

    Over the years, all of my authenticity has found itself on social media instead of my website. I think that sucks. Why should Elon freaking Musk get the most authentic version of me? Mark Zuckerburg? Or anyone else for that matter? Screw that noise. I’m publishing stuff on my website first.

    How Prototyping Makes Me a Better Developer

    I have found that writing unit tests for exceptionally complex projects has forced me to change how I approach my work in some cases. This post talks about how I write prototypes of code to hash out how a project will work quickly, as a part of my design process.

    New Website, Who Dis?

    My new site turns my personal website into a central hub, making it possible to view content I’ve published across the web. I’m so excited to finally have it up and running.

    I Gave a WordPress Taxonomy an Expiration Date Using BerlinDB

    I had one of my clients come to me with a fun challenge. They wanted to be able to “flag” a post, and have that flag automatically disappear on the site after a certain period of time. This post explores how I solved that problem for them.

    I Built a RESTful Events Integration

    I built a WordPress plugin for an agency that integrates a third party events API with WordPress. This plugin loads fast, and reduces the number of requests. This post talks about how I approached this small project.

    Using The WordPress App to Publish Social Posts

    I’ve got a not-so-uniqie design challenge that I think a lot of people like me are thinking a bit about right now. To where am I moving now that I’ve become disillusioned with Twitter? I have talked a lot about my excitement for the metaverse, and am certain that, at least in some fashion, I’ll […]

    So Long, DesignFrame!

    Welp, I finally did it. 9 years of running my own little WordPress agency has finally come to a close. I have officially shut down the website, and have helped move my remaining clients onto their own platform. I’d be lying if I said that this goodbye is more sweet than bitter, honestly.

    2023, Looking Forward

    Earlier this year, Kate published our 2022 looking back post on our travel focused blog. We reflected on our travels and what the past year was like. Now that we’re coming in to the new year, I can’t help but find myself setting my sights on the big themes of this year for me and […]
