Welcome to my website
I keep a journal, which details in great detail every little detail of my daily life. It’s not always exciting, but does give a good indication of what my life is like, and presumably in turn what I am like.
It’s my collection of daily life, interspersed with my attempts at photography, wit, and whatever else comes to mind. The journal index is probably where you’d want to start.
Or check out the most recent entry, start at the oldest entry, browse by year, use the calendar, search, or if you are still lost, the site map…

v1 was my first attempt at a “proper” website. A few little bits of it have been saved.
nedmartin.org v2
v2 was a very fixed site. Every page, every section, was exactly the same—stylistically speaking—as every other page. It’s still there—go have a look. It was heavily focused on standards compliance, accessibility, and all that jazz. It seemed the “right” way to design a perfectionist’s site back then. Now I’ve moved on. Order in chaos is my current goal.
