Have you ever tried to explain political ideology to others? For some, speaking about politics is a lot like talking about religion. One simply doesn’t do it unless they are prepared to offend or create a heated discussion. Often these heated discussions can turn for the worse because of one’s long-held and deeply seated beliefs, […]
If you follow my blog, you know that I recently performed a 960 Grid System site update for Hullabaloo Stories. As such, I would like to help spread the word about a giveaway happening there right now for members of the armed forces who will be deployed and separated from their families on Father’s Day. […]
Over the last couple of weeks I have been in charge of a migration from one Salsa Labs platform to another. The reason for this seemingly meaningless and unrecognizable change, at first glance to the end-user, is to host the KeepAmericaFishing™ actions, e-mail and donation forms on their own dedicated IP address. Previously, KeepAmericaFishing actions, […]
On the 18th of April, I reported that I was embarking on a Web design update for the Hullabaloo Stories Web site. Today, I am happy to report that I completed this project last Friday, making it a personal record in the length of time taken for any design that I have pursued. The reason […]
Having recently completed a site design update on my own Web site, I feel it is time to update the Hullabaloo Stories Web site. I intend to implement the 960 Grid System into the redesign as I had the WillHull.com update. Essentially, what I did for WillHull.com, I intend to do for Hullabaloo Stories. Since […]
You may have read elsewhere on this site that I have two young children at home. One, a toddler, the other, a five month-old infant. My wife and I were discussing the topic of the natural state of humans by witnessing the behaviors of our children this morning. This quickly turned to a brief discussion […]
I just stumbled across something wonderful while browsing some posts on Abuzeedo. It’s the iCADE – The iPad Arcade Cabinet. “The iCADE uses Bluetooth to connect to the iPad so there’s nothing else you need to do. You’re ready to ‘insert coin’ and game on!” For only $100, a fifth of what the iPad costs, […]
Recently, I ran across an article on Six Revisions entitled, “The 960 Grid System Made Easy” by Joshua Johnson. I have known about the 960 Grid System for some time now. However, I had yet, up to this point, to implement the system in any of my designs. As I had some time on my […]
Recently, I read a Fundraising Success Magazine article by Jeff Brooks, entitled, “Go On … I Dare You: Feeling brave? Here are 10 fundraising challenges for the new year” and it got me thinking. How many of us weigh the risk versus reward each day and take chances that no one else will take? Sure, […]
If you’ve been following me lately, you know that I recently started a new position with the American Sportfishing Association as Web Manager for KeepAmericaFishing™. These past three weeks have been amazing and incredibly challenging in many ways. First, I have never used Salsa Labs or ExpressionEngine in a professional capacity before. My learning curve […]
If you’re like me, you enjoy things that satisfy and tickle your visual palette. One such instance that I recently came across is on the LivingDesign.info blog run by Asif R. Naqvi entitled, “Katarina Stefanovi?: Truly stunning.” These photos don’t fail to impress. Even for those who have no formal training in photography, such as […]
This week marks my second attempt and completion of creating basic flash banners advertisements using Adobe Flash. The first attempt occurred while I was employed with League of Conservation Voters last fall. I learned how to create these basic flash banners while watching Layers TV episode #126 from February 24, 2010. Raphael “RC” Concepcion is […]
Recently, I read an article on the Huffington Post by Jake Brewer entitled, “The Tragedy of Political Advocacy.” This article questions the effectiveness of online political advocacy in reaching the intended recipient, in this case and most often, Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Brewer writes, “[d]espite how good your civic action may have made you […]
