About

Author

I’m Joshua Kaufman and this is unraveled, my personal website. I mostly write about design, technology, products and getting things done.

I’m an interaction designer and user experience consultant living in San Francisco and working at Tiny Pictures on Radar. Nothing on this site is affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Tiny Pictures.

For more details about my professional skills and experience, please visit my professional website.

You can contact me via:

You can also find me on Facebook, MySpace, Last.fm, Flickr and Twitter.

Access keys

With the exception of individual projects, all pages define the following access keys:

On Windows press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, press Control + an access key.

Standards compliance

With the exception of a few pages, all of my pages should validate to XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS.

All pages use structured semantic markup.

Most pages are WCAG 1.0 and Section 508 approved, or very close.

All pages have a body id of unraveled-com; users can create unraveled.com-specific overrides in user styles (what are user styles?).

Colophon

unraveled is created on a Mac using Coda and Fireworks, and hosted by the fine folks at Dreamhost. Lucinda Grande is the preferred font for all text. The unraveled header is set in Optima.

I use Movable Type to manage every aspect of this site. To do some more fancy things I use many Movable Type plugins, including SimpleComments, SmartyPants, Collect, ArchiveDateHeader, Multiblog, DirifyPlus, Compare, PowerRebuild, Markdown and Akismet. If you want to know how I do anything in particular on unraveled, just ask.

Thanks

Special thanks to Lance Arthur, Jeffrey Zeldman, Mark Pilgrim and especially Janine-Opal Fischer. This site would not be possible without their guidance and inspiration.
