  • Thanks for visiting!
    You've reach the personal blog of David Jacobs. I live in New York City, and I'm eating two hamburgers a week on doctor's orders. When you're done with the front page, you can read the archives.
  • You can also read about my company's work on the Apperceptive Blog, and you can keep up with me elsewhere on my reblog, my vox blog, randomWalks or flickr. This should be easier, right?
