Here’s a little write up describing design techniques that we probably all take for granted.

1 CommentAt some point in the past 4 months something changed inside Mike D. Today I won’t be going to the gym. This morning I had coffee for breakfast. Last night I went out for ice cream. I put cheese on my egg sandwich earlier this week.
I don’t like these trends.
Authored by: mike d.Today MikeDiDonato.com turns three years old. It’s kind of strange thinking that three years of my life (11%!!) is documented here. Thanks to everybody who has read and participated. This website has been really fun. On average, I probably spend about 30-45 minutes a day on this thing. That’s a total of something like 500-600 hours of effort over the past three years.
That’s a lot of time but there are distinct benefits to having a website. Financially, this website got me a free furnace service package, a tea steeping thing, roller derby tickets, 20 dollars off my Kitchen Aid Mixer, the opportunity to buy Jocelyn’s car, kiteboarding lessons from Schenk, and endless amounts of free advice. It costs 10 bucks a month to run… which is a lot less than some people spend on coffee.
I’ve met a whole crowd of new exciting people through the site: UK Roland, Aaron, Jes Saint, Molly, Patrick, UUIG, Zoe, and J2.
I’ve had great e-mail correspondence with some folks in India and Australia, and even received a comment from a distant relative who sent me this sweet photo of my mom when she was two.
Major page accomplishments over the last three years:
#1 on Google searches for Mike D.
#4 on searches for Britney Gallivan - if you ARE Britney Gallivan… send us an e-mail at MikeDiDonato AT gmail DOT com You’re a mikedidonato.com hero!
We broke the 300 unique readers mark on Tuesday - yay!
Interesting page facts:
The most common way random people find this site is from image searches for “cupcake” (thank you Roland) and web searches for “spelt vs. spelled”.
Presently, I get more referrals from the CT Roller Girls than from any other single website. Second place goes to www.jonabad.com
My website is not banned in China.
Shaun McQuaid really does know everything and JonAbad really did invent the pommel horse.
