    <div class="post-body">
    <p>Hi, I&rsquo;m Michael Jackson (yes, the <em>real</em> Michael Jackson.) I&rsquo;m a California
native currently living in the beautiful state of Utah. I&rsquo;ve been designing and
developing web sites since I was a kid, and have worked professionally in the
field since 2004. I keep my <a href="http://github.com/mjijackson">code on GitHub</a> and my <a href="http://twitter.com/mjijackson">random thoughts on
Twitter</a>.</p>

<p>I am passionate about clean, modern design and code. When it comes to the web,
I believe that <a href="http://www.webstandards.org/">standards</a> are a good thing and
that everyone wins when businesses and developers adhere to them. Instead of
striving for backwards compatibility with antiquated browsers such as the
<a href="http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer.html">infamous Internet Explorer</a>, I chose to live in the present and target
more modern, standards-compliant web browsers when I write code. My basic
philosophy is this: people who use better browsers deserve a better experience.</p>

<p>This site is my own personal collection of links and commentary. Most of the
time I use it as a sort of bookmarking system because just about everything I
post here is something that I find interesting and would probably read again.
However, I do post original content here as well. Everything is written in
<a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a>, published with <a href="http://rake.rubyforge.org/">Rake</a>, and served using
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/">HTML5</a> on the <a href="http://pages.github.com/">GitHub Pages</a> platform. Feel free to check out
the <a href="http://github.com/mjijackson/mjijackson.github.com/tree/source">source</a> if you&rsquo;d like.</p>

<p>I hope you enjoy your visit to my little corner of the web. If you would like to
get in touch, please feel free to contact me at
<a href="mailto:mjijackson@gmail.com">mjijackson@gmail.com</a>.</p>
