EZ Polls: Not a complete waste of time (really)

About

Aron's Head in Death Valley

I'm Aron Pilhofer and this here is my website. And by website, I really do mean mine.

I wrote it from scratch in Ruby on Rails. I did most of the CSS, so if it's not semantic and standards-based, now you know why. I started with a lovely two-column layout from Matthew James Taylor and went from there.

I also work for The New York Times. If you want more of a bio, check my Linkedin profile or find me on Twitter. You can contact me directly at: aron [at] nytimes [dot] com
