About Me ( joe )

About This Site
This site was written using Twitter Bootstrap, AngularJS, and Vim. I originally wanted to make the site with as little javascript as possible, but then I realized that I'd much rather have a robot do the repetitive tasks of marking up all my content rather than doing it myself. Gotta take advantage of this perk while the machines don't suspect anything.
