About

Greetings, fellow travelers!

My name is Brad, and this is my small little corner of the web. I originally owned this domain back in the early 2000s. At the time, it was just a simple static site that hosted desktop wallpapers I created while working at Tucows.com (a long time ago when it was a collection of software). After a few years, I moved on, and the archive itself was getting old, so it felt like the right time to retire it.

It's been more than 20 years since I last even thought about this domain. A couple of years after I let it go, I checked in on it and remember being quoted an absurd price to buy it back from a domain reseller who based the value on the original site's traffic. Fast forward to today's market, and it turned out to be the perfect reunion.

I've now been building websites for over 25 years and wanted a space of my own to experiment and genuinely have some fun. Today, I work as a front-end developer and accessibility specialist at Michigan State University. I actively maintain my Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) certification, as shown in the badge below.

Accessibility is something I care deeply about, and that passion carries over into the tools I build. The website and tools here are designed with accessibility in mind, and I'll continue adding new ideas and improvements as they come to me. I try to include accessibility considerations from the start of every project, but the web evolves, and so do best practices. Because of that, I often revisit projects to refine and improve them over time.

I also have a few tools that are just for fun, but mobile and accessibility are always part of the thought process when I'm building something.
