Hello.

I am a technology consultant, writer, husband, and father living in Saint Paul, MN. This is my weblog or “blog” as it is colloquially called.

What’s here?

I write about a lot of things here but I focus on productivity, technology, analog tools, and even a little bit about my personal life. Basically, if it is something that interests me I post about it. I invite you to stay a while and take a look around. New folks may want to start with the “popular” category which highlights some of the most active posts.

I write a few other places too.

I often catalog cool things I come across that don’t quite fit here on The Random Post. I also “ghost write” a blog for my daughter, Beatrix, at Team Trixie. In addition, I helped to found and moderate work.life.creativity – a forum focused on productive pursuits and creative living.

Regarding the design of the site.

The site design is original and built from the ground up using inspiration derived from many sources. There is no template you can download to use for your own site. The “look and feel” of my site is part of an overall personal branding. I think that in our ever more connected and public world, developing a “personal brand” is all the more important and this website reflects that idea.

This most current version of the site features a one post per page design. Navigation to to the previous and next posts is directly below each post. To find other posts, click on the archive link at the bottom of each page.

Do you intend to “borrow” my design?

Please shoot me an email to let me know you intend to do so. I would prefer that people came up with their own ideas but, if you still want copy my design, please give me attribution. It would also be nice if you shot me an e-mail with a link to your site. I am kind of collecting links to all of the sites I have influenced. I would be a liar if I did not say I was flattered a bit by it.
