Colophon
WordPress powers this site. My tumblelog style of blogging would be much more difficult without its extensibility.
More specifically: the tumblelogging features on this site are enabled by a custom-written theme and a plugin that makes it easy to vary the basic “template” for a post based on custom field data.
Most of the data on the sidebar of the “about” page comes from FriendFeed and their awesome API.
Prototype supports most of the JavaScript written on this site. Code highlighting is made possible with a heavily modified version of Dan Webb’s venerable script. Live comment preview is made possible by Showdown, a brilliant Markdown processor written in JavaScript. Other bits and pieces can be explored in this GitHub project.
Slicehost is my web host. Cheap, fast, developer-friendly VPS hosting.
