That´s me, sit­ting in half lotus

There is not end to the fun it seems. Smash­ing Mag­a­zine, one of the best if not the best design and web design magazine´s on the web, fea­tured gummisig.com in their arti­cle about best prac­tices for effec­tive design of about me pages. So it seems I got some­thing right when design­ing this site.

It´s funny they picked that page espe­cially and men­tioned the photo. The photo was taken by my wife in the kitchen on my cell­phone. It was always meant to be a temp image until I got a real pic­ture taken. The pub­lic­ity the site has got­ten has caught me some­what of guard and I haven’t got­ten round to tak­ing a new photo yet. One friend said about the photo, “ok, you are a pale Ice­lander but you really should get a bet­ter photo” , what can I say, I´m not that photogenic.

Much love to Smash­ing Mag­a­zine for fea­tur­ing me, they are the coolest and I´ve been read­ing their stuff for years. So this is fan­tas­tic to say the least. But I´d bet­ter stop brag­ging about being fea­tured here and there and start writ­ing some real blog arti­cles. I just looked at my blog and it´s almost only fea­tured stuff. I really want to fin­ish my writ­ing for the mak­ing of gummisig.com, that will be a fun read.
