About

Design Aesthetic is the brain dump of San Francisco-based web developer Larry Rubin.

Mr. Rubin was an early pioneer in web development, working for startups such as the Internet Underground Music Archive and Addicted To Noise magazine (1994-1996). He has also held positions with Exponent, Inc. and Epylon.Com, where he served as lead UI developer for enterprise web applications.

In 2005, in the early days of podcasting, he co-produced over 40 episodes of Dr. Rubin’s Healthcast, which have been downloaded over 80,000 times as of July 2007.

More recently he has been shaping the user experience for next generation social networking and collaboration websites, while keeping a close eye on the current phase of computer technology.

He is currently employed as a web engineer for Socializr.Com, a free web service for sharing event and party information with your friends.

When he’s not working on the internets, he enjoys snowboarding, island hopping, photography, and writing about himself in the third person.
