What does the iPad mean for Web Design?

January 24, 2010

Hey, guess what? I’m still alive! Yeah I know my last blog post has been over EIGHT MONTHS ago, but I’m still alive and kicking. On the bright side, since then, I landed a job at iRacing.com, and redesigned/coded their website and built a second site, inRacingNews.com which is starting to gain popularity. On top [...]

 

Does Anyone Really Blog Any More?

May 18, 2009

I started this blog with really high hopes of writing at least one entry a week, building up a community, and creating a personal online identity. I think that’s what all bloggers want in the beginning. You set up a site, start typing, then get recognized, then make money. Unfortunately I along with many other [...]

 

Remember Web 2.0?

January 11, 2009

A short while ago nobody really knew what it mean’t to be “Web 2.0”. It started with a very broad definition. To put it into really basic terms, compared to the traditional web, or I guess “Web 1.0”, Web 2.0 utilized collaborative possibilities, easy information sharing, and more unified standards. I’ve noticed that within the [...]

 

I Hate Web Squatters!

August 16, 2008

As usual I have lots of big plans. One of them as I mentioned before is to revamp my site. One thing I dislike about my site now is how long the url is.  At eleven characters, in my opinon its pretty bloated and unreadable, especially when you want to send me an email. So, [...]

 

This is Getting Old

August 8, 2008

Wow, has it really been almost a month since I’ve posted on my blog? I knew it had been a while, but I had no idea it’s been this long! Things have been so crazy lately that I just haven’t had the free time to add much content. Not much has changed since June. I’m [...]

 

Matte is the New Shine

August 6, 2008

I’m always keeping an eye out for trends especially when it comes to web design. Lately I’ve been noticing something very interesting. There is something that almost all of the really “new age” sites have in common nowadays stylistically. Go to sites like Flickr, Twitter, Digg, Vimeo, or Facebook and and you’ll see what I’m [...]

 

If you want a design job, you may want to read this

July 10, 2008

Back in the day I used to think about what interviewing and working for a design job would be like. I would always picture a real laid back agency with bean bag chairs (I don’t know why I always pictured bean bag chairs…), a wide open studio with lots of Macs and expensive equipment. As [...]

 

I’m Officially an Apple Developer

June 14, 2008

There\

Wow, I’ve really neglected my shiny new blog.  Well, I guess it’s not so new any more, but it sure is shiny.  It’s just been a crazy couple of weeks.  I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Lowell on May 31st. To commemorate, I bought myself a huge LCD television that gave me days of fun [...]

 

Upcoming Project: What About Hubert?

May 15, 2008

Years ago, I came up with a short story about a turtle who likes to take photos. I’ve been experimenting with several different mediums to try and illustrate this story, but overall it’s never been completed. I really haven’t had the free time to work on it while in school. I tried to use it [...]

 

Tutorial: A clean, reusable Web 2.0 shine

May 14, 2008

I came up with this technique when I was creating Photoshop templates at work which called for all sorts of different colored buttons. Typically before this, I created buttons the usual way, combining transparencies with gradients and other elements, and that worked out fine for a few different buttons, but what if you had to [...]
