Personal blogs are so 2010.

September 7, 2009

My name is Benjamin Welch and I am just now starting a blog. In the world of tweets, re-tweets, tumblogs and the “real-time-web”, I’ve spent the last couple weeks designing and coding my personal blog in an attempt to add value to this overwhelming onslaught of content that is the internet.

Blogging seems to have taken a back seat to the “efficiency” of microblogging but for my money it is still the most effective way to say what you actually want to say. Not that you can’t say it in 140 characters. But novels, paragraphs, hell even well formed sentences have a special place in my heart. And that link on twitter usually leads to a site with articles, videos and pictures that take time and effort to create. That’s the real value of the web. It just gets more valuable the easier it is to share.

Letter Case

Graphic Design & Web Design

Letter Case was my one-man design shop based in Los Angeles, CA.
I ran it for 2 years until I joined Typekit in January 2011.

In my spare time I've been learning to program by building my first web application.
A simple tool called Talkative to help people publish their talks on the web.

My current project is The Briefcase. A blog and podcast.
It's a place for me to create and publish stuff.

Simplicity is harder than it looks.
