Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or been without Internet access) for the past four years you’ve probably visited The Oatmeal – the article and comics website created by Matthew Inman (@Oatmeal).
I cannot articulate my love for Inman’s fantastic, weird, smart, thoughtful, provoking, geeky and just plain awesome content he has put out throughout the years. However, one piece that has stood out for me is his poster How A Web Design Goes Straight To Hell.
“Well, isn’t it a bit exaggerated?”, you might think. It’s not. It’s the hard truth! You’re not a true web designer unless you’ve experienced a design process like this.
Right now you’re reading the very first blog post on my very first personal website. This site has been long overdue and it’s finally released. Thanks for dropping by. This is awesome!
Why it took so long
I first started thinking about creating a work oriented website after I graduated from Chalmers University of Technology in the fall of 2010.
Then a lot of stuff happened; moved to Stockholm, started working at HiQ, joined a band, built websites for friends, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Homeland, The Last of Us and so on…
In other words mostly procrastination.
What my goal is
So why did I create this site? I did it to…
Share my knowledge in UX, design and front end development
Offer my opinion on current tech related events
Participant in debates within my line of work
Showcase my portfolio (coming later this fall)
Rant and geek about stuff
What I want from you
You’re here. You’re reading. That’s great. I couldn’t ask for more. Drop by again and there will be some good stuff to read. If you follow me on Twitter I’ll give you a heads up ;)
