Hello. - June 6, 2008
Welcome to my new site! My name is Brad Ishida and I like tech–a lot. Whether it be business or personal, my life tends to center around technology in one way or another. Creating a site to manage both sides only seems to make sense.
The first order of business for the new site was to create a suitable WordPress theme. My goal is to maintain a high information density for this site, so a minimalist theme seems appropriate. You may notice the lack of graphical components to this design. This is in stark contrast to Programming Art–my other company’s website. I’m sure the theme will continue to evolve, but at this time, I’m really enjoying the fluid layout that should accommodate any browser size and the nearly instant load time.
There are some new words on the About page. Since I went to all the trouble to talk about myself in third person for an entire page, it would be great if you went there now and read it–thanks.
Email? One nice thing about having a new domain name like this one is not having to deal with 1000’s of spam messages every day. Even though SpamAssassin does a fine job at keeping the trash sorted, it’s still a chore to scan for those rare false-positives before deleting 5000 messages at a time. I’m sure the lack of spam is a result of not having any email addresses published on this site to be crawled. So… let’s see how long this holds them off–if you want to contact me, use my last name as the first part of the address and use the domain of this website as the last part.
