About Me
Hi, I'm Tom MacWright. I'm a student at The College of William & Mary and this is a collection of what I do on the web and elsewhere.
I've been working with stuff on the web since 2000 or so, and I've picked up a few skills along the way. Currently, I'm interested in Ruby and Python development, information and interaction design, and general user-experience details.
This site is powered by Django and plenty of other magic that you can find out about in the about page.
