Process of Sublimination

This post turned out a bit longer than I intended. To summarize, I've tried several text editors out over the last few months and recently fell in geeky love with Sublime Text 2. It's a truly amazing new text editor that's available for OSX, Linux & Windows. Now, on with the story. In the Beginning... I believe it was the Summer of 2005 when I tried out TextMate for the first time. After a few minutes of playing with it's project drawer, tabs, regex find, snippets and column select features I was very happy. No more bloated applications from a certain software suite or sub-par minimalist editors. TextMate was a simple, innovative, powerful tool that helped me write a lot of code with very few distractions...

I like to climb on things. Can I have a banana? Eep. Eep. I'm not really a monkey, I just play one on the internet. In real life, I'm a web designeloper. Here on my personal site, I tend to sidestep all things professional for more trivial faire. When I do write or speak about what I actually do for a living, I tend to do so elsewhere. Feel free to drop me a line if you have questions, or use that frighteningly descriptive hyperlink below to learn more.
