When my friend, author Chris Godsoe, offered up review copies of his new book pre://d.o.mai.n (available on Amazon.com and BN.com today!), I jumped at the chance to get an advance peek at the book and support an author. At the same time, I figured it might be a good chance to tweak my always-in-progress site, […]

10 years of blogging at jasonclarke.org
Today marks 10 years since the first blog post on this site. I’ve owned the domain name for about 2 years prior to that – Archive.org lists October 2001 as the first recorded date– but used it mostly as a testing ground until 2003. When I started this site, it was built on my own […]
Groundwork: A WordPress starter theme
Inspired by my love for WordPress theme development and a great presentation by developer Sean Butze I attended at this year’s WordCamp Boston, I’m happy to present Groundwork, a WordPress starter theme. Beyond the usual starter theme basics, Groundwork features many nice customizations to a stock WordPress install, including: Custom log in screen logo & styles; Customized […]
No photo of the day today- but I did make a variety of updates to the design and layout of the site.

New header image
If you’re reading this site via RSS, take a second and check out the new header image. It’s a shot I took last spring at the Orono Bog Walk. It replaces the traditional winter/spring image of fireworks over Hong Kong. Flashback: Almost a year ago, the fireworks header was replaced by a shot from a […]
New project in the pipeline
If you follow my Flickr photos, you may have noticed a recent uptick in the amount of food photos we’re posting to our Good Food set. This is all in preparation for a new project I’m working on that I hope to take the lid off over the next couple of weeks. Here’s a preview.
Now auto-detecting Windows Mobile devices
If you visit this site from a compliant mobile device, you’ll now be automatically re-directed to the mobile version of jasonclarke.org. I’m still working out some kinks in my mobile version (permalinks are not mobile-friendly yet), and of course I also need to add auto-redirection for other mobile devices. But overall I’m glad to be […]
