About
This blog is written by Peter Harkins, a web developer and entrepreneur in Chicago. The recurring themes on this blog include programming minutia, the ways small design changes influence user behavior, and game design. Feel free to contact me or check out some code on GitHub.
In my career, I've re-engineered the .pro domain, gate-crashed a stealth startup, built one of the most popular Wordpress plugins, covered dozens of stories for the Washington Post on the web, and defeated the original Super Mario Kart.
If you play any tabletop games (like D&D, Magic, and Settlers), visit my site NearbyGamers to find folks to game with.
