About Me

Hi. I'm Scott van Brug and I'm a web developer in Philadelphia, PA and in case you didn't know, I build web sites. I'm also a total nerd for web standards and semantics. I've embraced the idea of progressive enhancement and have been thoroughly enjoying adding extra features using some CSS3 effects. I'm also a pretty serious PHP developer, working with all the OOP features of PHP 5 and looking forward to the new features of 6 when that finally hits the shelves (or racks, I guess). But don't think it ends there. JavaScript...jQuery...oh yes. Whether its all from scratch or leveraging the awesomeness that is jQuery, interactivity is all good.

When I'm not banging away on my keyboard, I also enjoy taking some pictures, cooking up some delicious tofu and other vegetarian delights, listening to and playing music, rolling 20 sided dice, and reading up on news, code and literature.

About the site

This site was build using semantic HTML5 markup and was enhanced with CSS3. For this reason, I would highly recommend checking it out in a webkit based browser (Safari or Chrome) but gecko based browsers will still play nicely (Firefox). For anyone out there using Internet Explorer, you'll still get something good, too.

This site also makes use of a bunch of other really cool projects out there such as jQuery, Font Squirrel, the League of Moveable Type, microformats and the 960.gs. Just want to give a big thanks for the awesome work and helping make the web a better place.
