About
Dots and Loops started off as a personal online scrapbook. The name comes from one of my favorite albums by Stereolab. Sometime in the summer of 2005 I think I found my voice, and it was around that same time I met my current partner. I like to think the sparkling wit and irreverence demonstrated on my blog may have had something to do with that, and she assures me that is true. So, my blog has helped me find true love. No mean feat.
Then, in keeping with modern lifes emphasis on specialization, Dots and Loops bifurcated into a tech related blog and another with a more personal milieu. Then I decided to just start from scratch. The shelf life on most blog posts is remarkably short, particularly those dealing with current events or technology. Observations on life, love, and relationships seem to hold up best. These topics are timeless I guess.
Nowadays I don't have time to keep up with one blog, much less two, so expect this site to be only sporadically and rarely updated. Herein I will post the occasional and awkward rumination on web design, programming, Linux, philosophy, movies, and anything else I find interesting.
If you have read this far you may be interested in syndicating my site content. This probably makes more sense than bookmarking and trying to remember to come back.
Thanks for visiting.
