Hi. I'm Paul Nixon, a designer living in Mountain View California. My days (and some nights) are spent designing websites for a little company in Cupertino. The rest of my time is spent with my beautiful wife and friends, road cycing and reading your blogs.

Context

Thursday, January 25, 2007 11: 10 PM

"Geocoding My Life" from Jeff Croft. Mr. Croft continues to explore and perfect his craft. Impressive integration of contextual location data with each of his photos on his website. An example photo of none other than superheroes Keith Robinson and Wilson Miner. Jeff never ceases to amaze me with his ever-evolving exploration of design and technology on his personal site. Serious dedication.

RSS?

Wednesday, January 24, 2007 11: 57 PM

Turned off my RSS feeds this week. In a strange way I feel liberated knowing that this post will not be sitting in someone's news reader begging for attention and scrutiny as another inbox "item" to be read -- only to lead to the inevitable disappointment of finding it to be another lame post about, oh I don't know, my lack of blogging on this site. I can now post with wild abandon here, knowing that I am no longer pushing random noise into 'blogosphere' and becoming a GTD item on someone's daily "to read" list. If you want this stuff, then come and get it -- ala GeoCities 1996. Enjoy the underwhelm-ment.

My new steed. 2007 Specialized Tarmac Pro. 16.9 lbs. with pedals. (Not bad considering my GT was almost 22 lbs.) It's the "working my butt off since moving to California" present to myself.

This brings back memories of biking past this spot many times a year in Arizona. My friend Jeff has captured it in all its perfection. Look forward to seeing it all again soon my friend.
