I am Jody Alkema. I run a Longboarding company called Slide Longboards.

My many opinions can be found on twitter and my code on github.

I live in White Rock, BC just outside of Vancouver. I am also a Web Generalist that designs and develops Custom Web and Mobile Applications. I specialize in bringing offline business models online.

I believe the most important part of any website is content. I think the 2 most important properties of that content is simply its ability to be:

• Linkable (URI's)
• Indexable (plain old plaintext)

Surprisingly, these two items can, and do get overlooked! In order to deliver great websites, I use Ruby, Rails, HTML, JavaScript and CSS and PhoneGap.
