Endikos

Sometimes it’s good to just stand back and marvel at where you’re at in life.  My family and I recently moved to Kansas.  While there was a variety of stimuli behind the move, it simply became obvious that this is where God wanted us to be.  And wow, what a trip.

I’m now a web developer whose company sits on what used to be a world war 2 era naval air base, and which also happens be on the edge of a century-old Amish community.  So as I drive to work I pass horse-drawn carriages, miscellaneous tractors, or tiny little buggies pulled by a couple of Shetland ponies filled with boys on their way to school.  Then I come across the old naval base’s radar towers and barracks and park about 1500 feet away from the old control tower which once oversaw the operations of four 7000 foot airstrips.  Then I go to my desk, sit in front of a monstrously powerful Mac, and spin electrons into the one of the worlds newest and most pervasive forms of communication.  How cool.

I mentioned that I’m now a professional web developer.  Up until recently I had been a Network and Systems Administrator and a freelance web developer.  Of course my role as the Network and Systems Administrator had included a healthy dose of web development and media work as well since I also wore the web developer and graphic designer hats in addition to the normal duties an admin has.  But, now I get to focus on the web, and on all the media that can be delivered by it in order to make it rich and help it convey information in the best way possible.

This is pure awesomeness. I now have the opportunity to become a truly world-class web developer. Since I can now focus very specifically on the web, I plan to document – by way of this blog – some of the things I learn, or feel the need to clarify, or am able to innovate.

Some of you have known the Endikos website in its previous incarnations.  As is obvious by now, I’m starting over. Again. :-)  I may revisit some of the topics I covered on old versions of my website if I feel it necessary, but I really enjoy starting fresh with a clean slate.  If memory serves, this is about the seventh incaration of this website, which has been around for eight years now.  And so I consider it a privilege to welcome to you to Endikos.  Enjoy.
