Colophon

Av is the personal blog of me, John McKnight. I’m a twenty-something who currently resides in Hamilton Ontario Canada. I work as a web developer by trade and plan to do great things with my skills. The first order of business would be to start a revolution of websites that adhere to web standards and are written in proper markup. One day, one day.

I also enjoy photography, music, film, the outdoors and practicing amateur psychology on unwilling victims that I pick up in bus stations.

I’ll fill this in more when I have more that I’d like to say about myself.

Under the Hood

On the more technical side of things, Av is powered by Textpattern and a handful of plugins to make my life easier. These are the plugins that make maintaining this site a pleasant experience.
