If you are new to the site, the content tends to cover a variety of topics, with an obvious emphasis on the stuff that I dig. This means (in no particular order) — web design, web development, web standards, photography, Apple, internet, technology, gadgets, games, music, culture, football and motor racing.
That should be enough information for you to get an idea of what rocks my world (so to speak), so if you like the cut of my jib, stick around for a bit.
Also, regarding the site name — I'm afraid there is no deep meaning to the name 'xlab' — I just like the sound of it, and I was after a short url. Ho hum.
xlab is built on a Mac running OS X and is hand-coded in PHP, MySQL, XHTML, CSS and javascript using the mighty fine BBEdit.
You can also view some of my photos at Flickr and my bookmarks at del.icio.us.
