Trying out Björk, a blog and portfolio focused theme for WordPress
I’m finally at the third step of my mini-theme exploration that I promised to finish within one month but that has run for three months and counting. If you don’t know what a WordPress theme is you can catch up, or not. The main thing to know is that the site looks different than it…

Running along Cherry Creek
It’s well known that I love running and the only thing I love more than running is running while traveling. This week I’ve been running along Denver’s Cherry Creek trail in the morning. I don’t typically bring a phone along when I run but I do it when I’m traveling so I can capture what…
