Who is Brandon Blinkenberg?

What can I say? I'm 27 years old, work at Michigan State University as an eProducer, and I live in Lansing with my wife, Emma, and three pets. My job at MSU is to help faculty create sustainable online courses and utilize technology effectively in their teaching, and I LOVE it.

This site serves as a portfolio for the work and experiences I've had over the last several years, as well as a crossroads for family and friends to keep in touch (or at least see some current pictures!). I have a few tutorials you may be interested in, as well as pictures I've taken over the last few years.

The Blogs to Watch, Books to Read and Influential Scholars sections are here for my own reference, but they're good links worth sharing... you might find some of them useful. Over time my lists will probably get too long for this page, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I'm currently reading about CSS layouts so I can make this site more accessible and most of the design blog links reflect that right now.

What's New

I recently finished building my first acoustic guitar. Thanks, Nate, for the kit!!  Pictures of the build are on Flickr.

Been playing a lot of music these days thanks to meeting a fellow musician (the infamous Brandon Criag). Keep tabs on us here:

Also, I upgraded my motorbike to a '00 Victory V92C. It's a little bigger than the '86 VT500C I was scootin' around on before.

Well if you're still reading down this page then you must be family, so I assume it's okay to say, "How the heck are ya? Send me some pictures already!"
