I’ve split this site into two, a personal one and a professional one. Spaceninja.com will remain my professional blog, with an emphasis on front-end web production. I’ve set up a new blog on ScottVandehey.com that I will be using for more personal posts about Zoe and non-web-development topics. Thanks for your patience.

It’s not just a simple new design, I’m making major changes to the way things function, and the flow of the entire website, [...]
Space Ninja History
I first got online in the early 90s. While some of my friends were goofing around on BBS‘s, I was using my dad’s Compuserve account to post icons I had designed for Windows 3.1. Later on, in 1995, I had dial-up Internet access at home, and a friend had shown me Joe the Circle, one [...]
