## Skills & Interests

-programming that I find beautiful (in every sense of the word).

### Languages

-### Web Development
-For web development I gravitate toward the [Django][] framework. Django bills
-itself as "The Web framework for professionals with deadlines" and this
-strikes a chord with me.
-
-I've used the [CherryPy][] framework for smaller (but still dynamic) projects
-that don't need the additional functionality of Django.
-
-I hate writing repetitive, difficult-to-maintain code. Even when writing
-completely static websites I prefer to take advantage of templating languages.
-To do that I use [Hyde][] and [Blatter][], both of which generate static HTML
-from templates.
-
-I've used several CSS frameworks including [Blueprint][], [Tripoli][] and
-[aardvark legs][]. Of these I now prefer aardvark legs because it makes
-setting up a beautiful vertical rhythm simple and doesn't impose itself on the
-horizontal layout.
-
-When writing [JavaScript][] I use [jQuery][] to eliminate a lot of the
-tediousness and create elegant code.

-### Version Control
-
-I think version control is essential for a project of almost any size, and
-lately the concepts behind it have captured my interest.
-
-In my personal work I use [Mercurial][] (usually with [BitBucket][]). I've
-[contributed][] several minor patches to the Mercurial core and written two
-extensions: [hg-prompt][] and [hg-paste][].
-
-I know my way around [Subversion][], [CVS][], and [git][] as well.

-### How I Work
-
-For my personal work I use [Mac OS X][]. I'm comfortable in [Linux][] and can
-deal with [Windows][] (though I don't enjoy it).
-
-I use [TextMate][] and [vim][] for coding, [CSSEdit][] when designing,
-[Mercurial][] for version control, [t][] to manage my personal tasks, and
