TDARB.ORG ========= My name is Bradley Taunt and `tdarb.org` is my personal space on the internet. I'm a user interface and experience designer by trade. In my free time I dabble in open source projects, hang out with my wife and 3 children, cheer on the Ottawa Senators and play video games (mostly RPGs). This small piece of the internet is where I write about macOS, design, CSS, web development, digital privacy, Linux, minimalism (if that wasn't obvious from this text-based blog) and anything else that tickles my fancy. You might know of me from my previous articles and demos that are now archived as static HTML pages. To avoid link-rot those posts exist under the file directory: https://tdarb.org/blog Those interested in preserving the original HTML content for themselves locally can fork the project directly: https://git.sr.ht/~tdarb/tdarb.org Be aware that no further updates or articles will be posted in the `blog` directory. All new articles will use one of the new RSS feeds below. FEEDS ----- [Posts] Main articles that tend to focus on web technologies, hardware tinkering and general design. "Long form" and detailed. Includes tutorials and live demos. https://tdarb.org/feeds/posts.xml [Notes] Shorter, more generalized writing. Non-tech related. Life observations and brief video game reviews / analysis. Updated less than standard "posts" RSS feed. https://tdarb.org/feeds/notes.xml PROJECTS -------- A select few of my more "popular" side projects: - https://1mb.club - https://xhtml.club - https://shinobi.website - https://phpetite.org - https://vanillacss.com - https://tdarb.org/writxt/ - https://tdarb.org/blog-anonymously/ - https://tdarb.org/better-search-results/ Sourcehut: https://git.sr.ht/~tdarb Github: https://github.com/bradleytaunt PRIVACY ------- This website has zero trackers and does not have any form of analytics. You can rest assured that your privacy is safe while browsing this website. THIS IS A SHINOBI WEBSITE ------------------------- In case you hadn't noticed, this website is presented in plain text format. That's because this site is built by a crude and basic shell script. It's what I refer to as a "shinobi website". You can find out more and learn how to create your own at the official project site: https://shinobi.website SUPPORT ------- If you happen to enjoy any content on this site and have a burning urge to thank me for it, feel free to support me by donating through Liberapay: https://en.liberapay.com/tdarb ABOUT ME: DIRECTOR'S CUT ------------------------ If you're reading this far down the page, that means you wish to know more than what I mention above. I'm a designer/developer hybrid with over 12 years of professional experience across large enterprise application software, all the way down to mom-and-pop shops. I have a strong emphasis on building maintainable CSS, with a passion for accessibility, minimalism and web performance. When I'm not pushing pixels or hacking up code, you can find me experimenting with the latest CSS, splitting batches of firewood, cheering on the Ottawa Senators, or hanging out with my wife and 3 kids. Articles written here are more or less for my own reference in the future, don't take them to heart. If you're interested, I curate the exclusive membership groups: https://1mb.club https://XHTML.club The web is a bloated mess and I created these ever-growing directories to showcase websites that care about respecting their users' time and resources. Feel free to submit your own personal sites or projects if they fit within the restrictions of these "exclusive" clubs.
