+summary: I has a shiny new website
+---
+
+Hey! I have a shiny new website. I just purchased a cheap VPS from
+[Digital Ocean](http://digitalocean.com) and registered the
+[dthompson.us](https://dthompson.us) domain for this site. Instead of
+the going the Wordpress route (or using similar blogging software),
+I’ve decided to use a static site generator called
+[Pelican](http://getpelican.com) after seeing that the
+[Linux](http://kernel.org) kernel website was using it. I’m going to
+use this site to host this blog, my resume, and information about my
+software projects.
+
+A little about myself: I’m a software developer from Massachusetts. I
+graduated from [Worcester State University](http://worcester.edu) in
+2012 with a BS in Computer Science. I currently work as a junior
+[Ruby on Rails](http://rubyonrails.org) developer at
+[Vista Higher Learning](http://vistahigherlearning.com). I am an
+advocate of free and open source software and I use GNU/Linux as my
+operating system of choice. In my spare time, I like to write free
+software (mostly my own never-to-be-finished projects). Oddly enough,
+I’m still using a proprietary web service to host all of my software
+projects, so check out my [Github](https://github.com/davexunit) page.
