A place for manifestos

I’ve tuned up the ol’ blog theme here and made it something that’s a little more “me” as opposed to being a total rip off. I still kept the navigation element because i like its unobtrusiveness.

I’ve been cooking up some posts whenever I have a down minute at Paravel, but there hasn’t been much as we’ve got a few major projects on the horizon that are going to make your website (and mine) look like dog doo doo.

Like I said, I’ve been cooking up posts and so far its 3 for 3 on manifestos. Which begs the question, how many manifestos is too many? Wrap your mind grapes around that.

Hello, I'm dave rupert

beforeafter

I've done the unthinkable. The unbelievable. I started a blog in the year 2009. I might as well have started a dinosaur. If it's any consolation, I've been making websites since I was 14 (15 years now! wow!) and I had blog at the now defunct wimpkiller.com that I posted on for over 5 years!

I'm 29. I live in Austin, TX with my beautiful and hilarious wife. I have cat that she named "Moogs", he looks like a cow. I'm training him to be a dog. I'm the Lead Web Developer for Paravel, who sole purpose is to make radical waves on the internet.

I play guitar and a wide array of other instruments. I speak japanese. I can't run very far. I contribute to the Earth scorching music blog Austin Town Hall from time to time and I drive a Scion XB - I know it says a lot about me, but I'll bear every criticism because it's a good ~~square~~ car. I spend most of my days on the computer soaking in the beta radiation, and then my evenings on the couch watching Law & Order with my wife on my Roku.

Yup. That about sums me up.

about this theme

This blog is built on Wordpress and this is a custom theme I wrote to replicate the functionality of the popular desktop Twitter app by AteBits, Tweetie for Mac. The icons are mostly from Glyphish.
