May 3, 2008 — Jeff LynchYes, this is another “techie” blog, although not quite what you probably expect.
My name is Jeff Lynch and I live a double life (sounds intriguing so far). During the day, I’m a mild-mannered .NET developer using all things Microsoft. (If your a “microsofty” you can follow what I’m up to on my .NET blog at http://codebetter.com/blogs/jeff.lynch) In the evenings and on the weekends I do freelance development using “other technologies” such as Javascript, Ajax, PHP and mySQL on OS X. I also do some freelance photography in my local area and occasionally work on iPhone applications.
I think the symbolism of the Yin & Yang covers exactly how I feel most days. I work during the day in Microsoft’s Visual Studio development environment and then in the evenings and weekends in Apple’s Xcode, Dashcode or Panic’s Coda. I find that much of my best work comes from the “blending” of the two distinct development environments where I may do some HTML / CSS layout work in Coda in the evening and then import that work into Visual Studio as the template for an “.aspx” master-page. I may do some heavy-duty javascript debugging in Visual Studio that will end up in Dashcode for an iPhone web application I’m working on.

That’s why I’ve had Michael Flarup of PixelResort create this cool new logo for my blog and freelance business.
