About

My name is Kevin Carmody and I live in Oxford, United Kingdom. I am a web developer with a penchant for community sites and a pedantry for open standards.

This here is a collection of my thoughts and musings, a spot for pooling a little of what's rattling around. Thanks for taking the time to visit and I hope you enjoy your stay.
