Initial Blog

First Blog Post

I've been linking to this GitHub pages site for years without much of an update. I saw that I ended up using this for an online resume, and since I've been teaching myself JAMStack, which includes Jekyll, I thought I would reformat this Jekyll site with resume up front, a list of projects separate, (updated with more recent projects), and start this blog.

As a side-challenge, I wanted to get this site as fast-loading as possible -- already fast because it is statically generated every time I "git push", but by using tiny CSS frameworks like "Skeleton.css" I've got it loading in about 100k. I think I can squeeze it down even further by converting from jquery to pure Javascript, so I don't need to load the jquery library from a CDN.
