College V2

I had the good fortune of redesigning a blog I read often, College V2. Sean posted that he was looking for a redesigner, and took the opportunity. I took a PSD that he sent me, chopped it up, and made it into a valid XHTML/CSS template for WordPress. I used CSS for the mouse over navigation and some extra programming…

JLC Web Design

Over the last 6 months I have been designing a redesigning the website for my web design company, JLC Web Design. I feel like this time, I got it right. The new design consists of a new front end, with a lot more navigation/information, icons and a new portfolio layout. There is also a brand new back end. With this…

What’s on my Bookshelf?

My friend Dan just launched What’s on my Bookshelf.com, an online book trading community. He came to me with the idea a couple of months ago, but due to a pretty busy schedule, I wasn’t able to work on it.

Video Game Voters Network

I just read about this site via Ctrl-Alt-Del. It is a website that unites video game voters and helps them contact their Senators about the Family Entertainment Protection Act. Basically this act, headed up by my favorite people, Hilary Clinton and Joe Lieberman, with some help from Jack Thompson, will limit what kind of games can be created and sold….

Newsvine

Quite some time ago (January-ish?), I got an email saying that Newsvine, a very intrinsic project by Mike Davidson and Co. was in BETA testing, and I got an account. I wrote one article, and then stopped using it. However, It does seem like something I’d like to write for, if I have the time. I am faced with one…
