Web design

October 23, 2006

I’ve really been thinking these past few days. I’ve been looking for a position in software engineering, but I’m realizing my passions aren’t all there. I think that’s a large part of why I haven’t been able to completely throw myself at the job search in Seattle.

But I love working on web design. I realize more and more that these are the type of blogs I find myself pulled to—places like Subtraction and Hyaline Skies and a whole slew of other sites I haven’t even bookmarked, but I somehow keep finding myself reading often. I told Courtney last night, if I could ever have any danger of becoming a workaholic, it would have to be in that field. I love the creative art of it. I love how it combines that with some of the problem-solving elements of coding.

As you can see, I redesigned this blog over the weekend (you haven’t seen it all: refresh the page—go ahead. Hit F5). I was inspired by an article on designing with color, and liked the black and white so much I kept it, with just a touch of color to highlight things.

But I’m also thinking of redoing the whole structure of this place. Maybe move to keithjgrant.com and give myself a real website, not just a blog. I’ll keep blogging, I’m sure, but I’ll also be able to separate my techie, design commentary in it’s own place, blogged seperately from my personal ventures into life and love and why. Though right now, those just happen to be the same thing.
