My name is Ian Beck and I love writing, be it fiction, nonfiction, or code. I currently earn my food-and-shelter money making people happy over at MacRabbit, but my pie-in-the-sky goal is to make a living wage writing (preferably writing novels, possibly writing apps, probably by doing a little bit of everything).

My life is a tangled mess of fiction, opinions, irony, and code. So is Beckism.com. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Looking for apps, Espresso plugins, or other tidbits that I’ve created? You’ll probably find them on GitHub or One Crayon (my freelancing site).

More interested in getting in touch? You can find me on Twitter, or send me an email through my One Crayon contact form.

About the site

Beckism.com has been my personal online space since 2002, although its roots go back to 1998. It runs on WordPress with a dash of Mint, and I publish articles using the excellent MarsEdit. I craft my longer fiction in StoryMill and store my random thoughts and ideas in MacJournal. The design and various other images were crafted in Photoshop or Acorn, and I do all of my coding in Espresso.
