Main Content
I’ve been working on this new Jekyll theme for the last few months, starting with Start Bootstrap’s “Bootstrap Clean” as a base and incorporating elements such as “Resume Cards”, more advanced blog and Jekyll features, typographic elements such as a consistent baseline and modular scale, and stylistic elements inspired by several popular news websites.
The result is nearing completion after a 3 month hiatus) and about ready for an official release. Check out the work-in-progress on Github.

Getting Started With Docker
Speak to anybody working in DevOps today, and Docker will be one of the hot topics of interest. At its core, Docker is a modular, layered approach to vitalization that runs on top of a host system’s kernel while keeping guest processes and filesystems separated.
It's been a while
Yeah, I’ve been neglecting this blog for a long time. It’s been a long struggle, but after years of self reflecting and working on myself, I’ve decided to refocus myself; and this blog is a part of that effort.
Jekyll Inline Conditionals With Liquid Filters
Often times when writing Jekyll templates, we need to do some conditional matching on certain blocks of text, returning one value in one instance, and a different value in another instance. Many times only a small portion needs to be changed, such as the name of a class, or inserting a default value when a variable is nil.
Global Reference Style Links in Jekyll
Now that I’m starting to blog more frequently1, I’ve found myself wanting to link to common websites in my writing often. But looking up exact URLs and page titles (because I’m a perfectionist and I want the link title to match the page title) breaks me out of my writing pace. Having a common library of Markdown reference-style links would speed up my writing, reduce errors, and make me more likely to link where appropriate.
