About
Jonnie Hallman, Founder
I’m tough—I sit in an ergonomic kneeling chair and use a Wacom pen. I prefer handshakes over hugs. I look for jokes in every situation and consistently ruin tear-jerkers. If given a million dollars, I would request it in small, non-sequential, unmarked bills.

Destroy Today, LLC
The phrase ‘destroy today’ is a reinterpretation of carpe diem, where destruction is seen as a form of creation.
The company Destroy Today is a partnership between builders. Its focus is on solving problems through products crafted with close attention to design and user experience.

A venture into new grounds, this site is a first of many for me. It is built on Jekyll, using Haml, Sass, and CoffeeScript preprocessors, as well as Liquid and jQuery for fanciness. It’s completely static—Jekyll compiles every page to static HTML files, so there are none of the security vulnerabilities commonly found in popular CMSs. The pages also load much faster.
Along with all the new tech, I’m thrilled to have carried over my app dev practices by source-controlling the site using Git. I also avoid FTP completely by deploying with Git and Jenkins on a Linode VPS. If any of this is gibberish, definitely check out the links.
