about

My name is jbrotherlove (or j. brotherlove).

First, let me confess that I’m not entirely sure what this is “about”. I began on the web, hand-coding my personal site. From there, I switched to Movable Type. On this site, I am trying to get a feel for what is possible using Wordpress, video, audio, etc. This is a true beta product; proceed with caution.

This site won’t always look the way it does today. I’m playing around with different templates until I get around to creating my own. But you want to know more about me, don’t you?
