About This Site and its Author

The Author
My name is Joshua Lane (but you can call me Josh) and I’m a Web Designer & Information Architect living in San Francisco. I’ve been doing this fancy web stuff since 1998 and currently do it for Virb.com. If you’d like to check out some of my design work (and learn more about other companies I’ve worked with, head on over to my portfolio site.
On a more personal level, I was born in Florida in 1978 (you can do the math on that one), but have lived most of my life in the VA/MD/DC area… until I moved to Philadelphia in April of 2005, and then to San Francisco in October of 2007. My parents split when I was about 5, mainly due to the fact that my father was incarcerated for being a drug dealer. I won’t go into the details, but let’s just say Maury Povich had something to do with it. Awesome, right?
The Site
BlissfullyAware is mostly a random assortment of things I find interesting, educational, annoying and sometimes ludicrous. It’s kinda pointless, really. And if you’re curious about the name of the site, I primarily wanted something that sounded a little pretentious. I am a designer after all.
