Blake Macleod Web Entrepreneur in Chicago

I have always been enamored with the beauty of the web. Not everything online makes your life easier or better, but the things that do are what inspire me to go to work every morning. I love services like Google Apps, Dropbox, Basecamp, Mint, Google Voice, Shopify, Kickstarter, Mockingbird and Assistly to name a few. These web apps make my life easier and give me the passion to be involved with an industry that is fundamentally disrupting the way we live our lives.

I am a dabbler. I can write HTML, CSS and some JavaScript, though I read it better. I play around with PHP and Ruby not particularly well. I love UI and UX and pride myself in the ability to create and recognize a great user experiences. I host my friends websites, manage their domains, and admin their google apps for them. I do these things because I love the web. That being said, I am a salesman. I sell better than I build and continually find myself at the cross section of engineering and selling. Always happy to preach to anyone who will listen why this new web app, services, framework, OS, computer, process, router, or phone will change their life.

This sites structure was creating using Twitter Bootstap. The progress bars were created entirely with CSS by Ivan Vanderbyl. The blog portion of this site is hosted by tumblr. The great jQuery frameworks was used here and there to help create some nice visual effects.
