Introduction

One day about three years ago Jock asked me about making a web page/site for him "one day". Since I'm a graphic designer and typeface designer, he wanted something well-hewn, slick and nicely done. On Friday 4th of April 2008 at Austin Repat hospital I reminded Jock of that conversation and asked if he wanted me to go ahead with it.

He said "yes", so here it is—Jock's Lookout, named after the photo of Jock in front of the eponymous wayfinding sign.

At the time of writing the content is sparse—more stuff will be added as time allows. Check back now and then for new material, and be patient, because I've only got, like, three jobs keeping me busy in this internet age.

Matty's collection of photos of Jock will come online at Flickr.com and be used here at Jock's Lookout.

The project is being published with Blogger to make it flexible and open to submissions from Jock's family & friends. Anyone can post comments on any article, with the aim of sharing our memories of all the great times we had hangin' with Jock.

If you knew Jock and have an idea for an article you'd like to see or maybe even write yourself, click comments at the end of this article, post a short message, and I'll be in touch.


Much love, James
