This was a rush order completed in a few hours from start to finish, consisting of lighbox, basic mp3 flash script built around a stackable navigation. There are other freelance projects on my plate that are ongoing, most prominently Tribeca Design Studio but this one had to be done quickly for John’s potential clients. Share [...]

I had a great time visiting the kids at MCVSD yesterday, speaking to the Journalism and Adv. Web classes. These are students that “get it” or are very close.

DelawareOnline did very well in the 2008 MDDC (Maryland, Delaware, D.C. Press Association) Awards for Online Media & Advertising, especially considering who we were up against in the Division A category (like the Washington Post). We did well last year, and it was only fitting that we showed the rest of the MDDC area what [...]

I’m tired of web designers and web design companies promote their mad skills despite the fact that their website itself is utterly deplorable. Seriously, if your site sucks why should I trust that your work on mine will be any different? Share and Enjoy:

It was funeral that lasted 2 days. One by one we saw crowds gather around the desks of our fallen comrades. One by one people were sent to HR to lay their heads before on the guillotine…it was surreal. Some closer than others, 28 total left our office over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday. [...]
