I’m Niels Mäkel, and I author makel.org. Programming, writing and developing for the web takes up most of my time. I live in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
I contribute to IT Conversations as a member of the world-wide editorial staff. I also do freelance PHP programming and standards-based CSS/XHTML web development. I’m always interested in job opportunities or other projects.
For my professional and academic history see my résumé (pdf).
Text on makel.org is set in Lucida Grande. Code spans are set in Monaco. In case your computer lacks these fonts — which means you’re not using Mac OS X — they will be substituted by your system’s native sans-serif and monospace fonts. That’s a shame.
All text is parsed and properly punctuated by Class Markdown and Class Typographer.
