Today, as I recently revealed that I am moving, I decided to think outside the box and try something new, in an effort to get the attention of hiring managers in the San Diego, California area. I placed an advertisement on Facebook and targeted it specifically to people within a twenty-five mile radius of San […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

In short, this position includes the “day to day responsibility for implementing and coordinating the content, design and functionality of KeepAmericaFishing.org [Web site].” I will be implementing online fundraising, advocacy, e-marketing, search engine […]
Yesterday, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) and I parted ways amicably. The event was no fault of my own or LCV’s. As such, I am again, back on the hunt for a new job. This time, I hope to refrain from jumping at the first offer and really consider whether it is a good […]
My apologies for not posting much this month until now. I was away for familial reasons; my wife gave birth to our second child — a son. Life is rapidly unfolding for me and I couldn’t be happier. Recently, I wrote about redesigning Heather Carpenter’s Web site at NonprofitAlternatives.org. The site isn’t live just yet, […]
Today is a great day for me. Since I started with League of Conservation Voters, I advocated for the new Adobe Creative Suite (CS) to do my job more effectively. Because I work at a nonprofit, we were able to get the product from Tech Soup at an incredibly discounted rate. I am happy to […]
Great news. I was contacted by Heather at NonprofitAlternatives.org after I posted my article linking to her article from my Williteration post, “Deciding on a Nonprofit-focused Master’s Degree Program.” She was impressed with WillHull.com and asked if I would help her to redesign her site. Long story short, I am in the middle of a […]
Each election cycle, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) hosts the Dirty Dozen on their Web site. According to the LCV Web site, “Every election year, LCV’s trademark Dirty Dozen program targets members of Congress — regardless of party affiliation — who consistently vote against the environment… where LCV has a serious chance to affect […]
Today I am excited to announce that the blog has officially been coded with enough to make it fully functional.
