New Website
Updated: Mar 5, 2020
If you're reading this, you've discovered it.
I built my first personal website using Wordpress on 26 March, 2010. It was the day after the Annunciation, and I was writing my dissertation and would continue to until submission in August 2011. The Wordpress site has been very useful the last 10 years but now it's beginning to look a little out of date. Time for something new before the book launch next month!
Last week I was doing a CV workshop with a group of PhD students in the research school I co-lead, and I realized that both my CV and my website need a face-lift. Also it had been some time since I done some fun graphic design so diving into the website first really appealed. All I needed was a very rainy and stormy Saturday to get a jump-start on it. Bergen delivered the weather, and Wix delivered the website editor.
Wix is a really phenomenal way to design your own website, adapting a template or from scratch. It basically works like InDesign or Illustrator – WYSIWYG – very intuitive if you work with the Adobe suite. A few years ago I made the website for our church, the Bergen Anglican Church, and it has worked very well and brings in many visitors.

Randolph and I have been doing a large variety of graphic design projects for 15 years now. A retrospective of our work can be seen at twomilesdesign.com. While I did the website for the Bergen Anglican Church, Randolph also designed the website of the Viola da Gamba Society of America (about to be renovated), as well as their logo. We've designed dozens of posters, brochures, programs, cards, and logos over the years.
We're available for new and interesting graphic design jobs as time allows!
The idea of keeping personal care simple and thoughtful gives me a reason to slow down and consider the details. A small consistent habit can be easier to assess than several unfamiliar changes introduced together. The name Krasotaizdorove gives this theme a memorable reference point, while personal care ideas keeps the subject in focus. I can imagine different responses depending on the situation, which makes the question more interesting. What would help someone decide which parts of a personal-care routine are useful to them?
Thinking about understanding materials and practical workshop tasks, I find the smaller practical questions more interesting than a quick conclusion. Knowing what a component needs to do can make choosing a material easier to discuss. That practical perspective helps me frame practical technical skills as a theme for Jualpipapvc. The smaller details are what I would want to return to, especially when an explanation feels too broad. Which questions should come before comparing different technical options?
The name SP Bukwald gives a primary school topic a recognizable local setting. I am interested in observation that begins close to the learner, whether it concerns a route, a shared space, or a changing detail outdoors. That is what I connect with SP Bukwald local observation. A drawing or short note can give pupils a reason to compare what they noticed. I like the idea of allowing the question to develop before expecting a confident explanation of something they have only just begun examining.
SP18 Zabrze suggests a numbered primary school identity connected to Zabrze. I would be interested in the practical information a family needs before it can understand the everyday experience behind that name. That is how I think about SP18 Zabrze primary school information. Clear expectations and understandable messages can make school life easier to follow. I like information that anticipates ordinary questions instead of assuming every reader already knows the routines or the meaning of an internal school label.
The combination of School and ML suggests an educational angle on machine learning. I am most interested in examples that make the connection between data and a result understandable without hiding the limitations. That is what I associate with School ML machine learning. A demonstration can invite questions about what the model has learned and what the example does not show. I like explanations that leave room for those questions, because a neat result should not be mistaken for a complete account of how the tool works.
