Moving to baweaver.com

I've started moving all of my content over to baweaver.com powered by Bridgetown under github.com/baweaver/portfolio.

Why?

I wanted more control of my content and some of the mechanics around it, and to finally redo my homepage which I had not honestly updated since... 2014?

After years of attempts I landed on a design that I liked, and over vacation I had enough time to get it all put together.

Lemurs?

The current site is focused more on architectural imagery, watercolor, and art deco. Where are the lemurs then?

Well for those I want to make something more special, and I haven't quite figured out how I want to land that yet.

The current idea is a literal storybook with inline Ruby REPLs for going through code progressively. It would transpose all of my major talks into interactive experiences that feel more "lived in" and animated. The problem is that turns out to be a lot of work and several levels of Javascript above where I'm currently at.

I do, however, have a custom domain already registered for it.

On dev.to

This has been my online home for the past decade, where a lot of my major content has been too, reflecting my growth from a senior engineer all the way up to principal levels. It really represents a lot of my career, and for that I will always be thankful.

Parting Thoughts

All of my content from Medium and from dev.to will be on baweaver.com, and I may start going backwards and consolidating even older posts as I have time to ensure that everything is accessible.

It's been fun, but on to baweaver.com I go.
