About Thinking & Making

Thinking & Making is a blog by Austin Govella about creating better products, better teams, and better experiences.

I’m Austin.

Thinking & Making picks up from my previous blog, formerly located at desiremedia.com. I even had an ISSN, which was pretty swanky at the time.

Thinking & Making officially started in 2002 and is published under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States license.

The Thinking & Making blog is published using Cucina Media’s brilliant content management software, Public Square. The design sweetness is all by me, and damn is it sexy.

Bookmarks are saved with Ma.gnolia and the feeds are managed with Feedburner.

The rest of the Thinking and Making site runs on Dean Allen’s god-like content management system, TextPattern. Things used to run on Wordpress, despite it being a hulking piece of crap to customize. I LOVE YOU MATT MULLENWEG!
