Matte Elsbernd web publisher. writer. photographer. 30 years experience.
The web has always attracted me as a way to express my ideas. My ideas come in many shapes and sizes. Whether it's visual, verbal or programmatical, I've found some way to explore them, whether it turned into an actual website, stopped as a small demo, or remains simply an (not so) used idea that is waiting for someone else to take up and run with.
The sites/projects below are pretty much 100% my work from idea to writing, design, development, etc. I think it's a pretty impressive list, but it's still just a sliver of the ones I've wanted to build.

Finally did it! I reached 1,000 books read since I started tracking in 1988. What an achievement!

I have been reading at the 100 books a month rate since I got my Kindle 3 years ago, and thus, 1,000 should only have taken 10 years at that pace rather than 24 years, but a lot of those years I was reading much less.

And somewhere in here, I need to learn some speed reading techniques so I might actually be able to read more.

Anyways, I didn't manage to do it before 2012 came to an end, but the first day of January ain't bad.
