About the Author
Patrick Gage Kelley is the owner and creator of this website. He is currently twenty-three years old, though he often feels both younger and older, generally not at the same time.
He once attended the Rochester Institute of Technology, from which he graduated sometime in May 2006. He really enjoyed graduation and thinks it is a great idea. He happened to graduate with two degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, and a second Bachelor of Science in Creative Writing and English Literature.
After having escaped Rochester and then having spent a summer organizing some fifteen thousand books which he found in the basement of his house he continued on to graduate school in sunny Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
At the yellow brick Carnegie Mellon University he currently studies some combination of Computation, Organization, Society, Information Visualization, Privacy, Usability, and Randomness. He is advised by Drs. Lorrie Cranor & Norman Sadeh. He really enjoys graduate school and believes with practice, he will get better at it.
He enjoys many things, one of which is digital things. Like web-design and photography and music on harddrives and digital words many of which are shown here.
He also likes talking to people and thinks you should talk to him.
Colophon :: About This Website
This site has no real style. I am working on that and someday, maybe it will. But I don't think I have enough pencils to make what I want. In the meantime I have decided that I do actually like the font Meta, and so that is what I am going to use.
This site was constructed using Adobe Photoshop CS, Cyberduck, Smultron, creative thought, and magic. Also this site was constructed mostly on a Mac.
Most pages are created by hand. Booknest and A Paradox of Pavement are run using the wonderful WordPress. Photographed is running Gallery and the main Web Blog - Text is running a very-hacked, terrific Textpattern.
The life stream, which is now centralized on the main page is a hand modified version of SimplePie.
This site is structured with XHTML 1.0 and all design is rendered using CSS. This page is also almost always AAA compliant, based off of current standards.
