Yeah, that would be me: .

I'm a web designer living in Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106 USA, and I'm a "standardista."

I specialize in hand-coding semantic (X)HTML and CSS, designing accessible web sites, and writing and optimizing web content.

A Blog Not Limited is my personal blog where I pontificate about web design, web standards, semantics and whatever else strikes my fancy.
