New Branding…

Inspired by coworker Nicholas Bergson-Shilcock’s personal brand, I decided to spend some time this weekend working on a brand of my own.

The result became www.timothyjcoulter.com.

I’m pretty happy with it. At first, I was simply going to link to my blog, put up some contact information and make my resume available. Instead, I got excited about syndication, and decided to parse the RSS feed in Javascript while making the whole thing work cleanly without a page refresh.

If you turn Javascript off, you’ll see my original idea.

Now that this brand is there, timothyjcoulter.com will be where I point people to for information about me. oneofthewolves.com will stay my blog — there’s no way I’m giving it up — but timothyjcoulter.com will contain more general information that’s not available on oneofthewolves.com.

Update, 10/6: It’s now functional in Internet Explorer 6 & 7 (though I gotta fix that darned loading icon. ;) )
