The author

Matthew Gipp is a front-end developer.

I'm from upstate New York. I spent 2012 in Chicago, helping to reelect the President of the United States. In 2013, I joined Nest.

I dig lots of things, including journalism, interaction design, football, oceanography and indie games.

You can check out a few of the things I've worked on here.

About this site

This site was lovingly built with Jekyll, Sass and Git. It is hosted on Amazon S3. It makes use of Cubano and Source Sans Pro.

The phrase "Number 61" is a (possibly apocryphal) reference to Ham the astrochimp, which appears in Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff.
