<div class="entry"><p>In the past I&#8217;ve always designed my own business cards, printed them on expensive card stock, and hand-cut them with an X-Acto knife. My cards were way nicer than those my clients had gotten <em>professionally</em> printed with bubbly ink, no-bleed designs, and cheap paper. Though I put tremendous care into my cards, I never was happy with the design.</p>

<h2>Why Have Business Cards?</h2>

<p>I&#8217;m rarely asked for my business card except when I attend conferences, of which I attend one or two each year. As a freelance contractor, I leave work by walking twenty-five feet from my office to the couch. Many of the
people I work for I&#8217;ve never met in-person.</p>

<p>When someone gives me their business card, I read it, pocket it, and eventually throw it out &mdash; sometimes before I remember to copy the information to my address book (sorry, just being honest). The reality is, with the ubiquity of the internet and with frictionless social networks like Twitter, I can connect with people immediately. So why have business cards?</p>

<div class="entry"><p><strong>Octopress is a blogging framework designed for hackers</strong>, based on <a href="http://github.com/mojombo/jekyll">Jekyll</a> the blog aware static site generator powering <a href="http://pages.github.com/">Github pages</a>.
If you don&#8217;t know what Jekyll is, <a href="http://metajack.im/2009/01/23/blogging-with-git-emacs-and-jekyll/">Jack Moffitt</a> wrote a good summary:</p>

<blockquote><p>Jekyll is a static blog generator; it transforms a directory of input files into another directory of files suitable for a blog. The management of the blog is handled by standard, familiar tools like creating and renaming files, the text editor of your choice, and version control.</p></blockquote>

<p>There&#8217;s no database to set up, and you get to use tools like Emacs, Vim, or TextMate to write your posts, not some lame in-browser text editor. Just write, generate, deploy, using the same tools and patterns you already use for your daily work.</p>
