I got a job at Acquia!

Just over 6 years ago I joined ASU's University Technology Office as a young and admittedly very inexperienced developer. I was fortunate enough to spend the time since then working for folks with foresight and strategic vision that I've only recently started to appreciate. I've also been blessed to have been involved with projects that I feel proud to say are changing the face of education. In short, I've loved my work at ASU more than my clumsy writing can describe here.

ASU Gmail theme

I thought I'd share my recipe for a nice, clean Gmail theme with Arizona State University colors that you can use on your ASU Gmail account. Open up your Gmail (especially your ASU Gmail if you're at ASU) and go to Settings > Themes > Choose your own colors. In the window that pops up, enter the following:
