keight lives in brooklyn and designs websites (mostly).
in early 1997, i got a free gurlpages account and made a one-page website with a red background, black & white text, jpgs of indie pop bands i stole from other sites, and a few animated kitty gifs. there were probably some words on it too, but i can’t remember what they were. i made my way through various free sites and hosting on other people’s domains before registering uncapitalized.net in 2001.
since then it’s been home to chronicles from 2001–2003 and a proper photoblog from 2003–2005. the site currently exists as part photo sketchbook, part reading log, part writing experimentation. the lines between the sections may blur sometimes, but compartmentalizing the content seems to make sense for me.
long dedicated to the speed and efficiency of typing without capital letters, some of the big ones have slowly crept in over the years, largely for the sake of legibility and textual contrast. i choose to consider it charmingly ironic.
uncapitalized is organized entirely through movable type using a bunch of plug-ins, including archive date header, embed image, entry if comments, fast search, macros, multiblog, photo gallery, process tags, regex, right fields, and smarty pants.
the layout of the photo pages were partially inspired by rion.nu — lovely, lovely photos. i code largely from scratch and make my best attempts for valid code that renders reasonably well across common browsers.
