When thinking about what I wanted my new website to be like (coming soon), I realized that just showing my portfolio didn’t really express who I was at all. That’s just small part of who I am.

It means “[t]atters; rags in a fluttering state” and from the second I saw this word, an American flag is all I could think of. I found this one on theContinue Reading
I almost always use Wordnik.com for learning more about words these days. However, I was really drawn to the fact that this word has been used five times as a “word of the day” on dictionary.com (December 15, 1999; February 7, 2002; January 17, 2005; February 20, 2007; July 8, 2009).
