Why
---
This was mostly for learning a few technologies, generating static websites with Grunt for example. This is also in response to the [SoME Web developer's group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/some-wdg) challenge "How Content-Dynamic can you make a static website?" While I use a lot of tools to *generate* the site, the site is, itself, a static website.

Technologies
------------
	
The [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) server environment for project builds, especially the [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) build tool. [Jade](http://jade-lang.com/) for templates, [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) for using Node modules in the client javascript. The client side routing is handled by TJ Holowaychuk's [Page.js](http://visionmedia.github.io/page.js/). The site is hosted on [Amazon S3](http://aws.amazon.com/s3/).

I also released some [node modules](https://npmjs.org/~tleen) that were developed specifically as sub-components for this project: haikfu and syllablistic.
