I’ve been putting off redesigning my website for months, but thanks to some inspiration from a couple of my friends, I have finally done it. Here’s the story of the long process that finally landed me with a new design that I love. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s been a long run. Too long. Finally, finally, finally, the time has come to stop supporting IE6. I’ve read second and third hand about different sites phasing out their support of the old browser. Today I just received first hand an email from google about their domain apps areas no longer supporting IE6 starting March 1, 2010. Read the rest of this entry »
Today I finalized the details of a project with a new client and I can’t wait to get started. The client is a designer and she has created a really attractive design for herself that I am going to enjoy turning into a functional website. The website is her portfolio, which will include about 80 projects and a CMS for her to manage how they are displayed as well as adding, deleting and editing projects. I’m also looking forward to trying out some more jQuery for some of the effects she wants and possibly some @font-face implementation. Stay tuned for the outcome!
If you find your dock too full, one way to control the mess a little is with stacks. I made a few folder icons for iLife ‘09, iWork ‘09 and CS4 that work great for stack folders.

There is an updated version of this post. Today I created my first jQuery function. I wanted to have all the thumbnail images in my portfolio be black and white, but fade to color when you roll your mouse over it, and I accomplished it by loading two thumbnails in the same position on the page and fading one in while fading the other out. I’ve been meaning to look into jQuery for a while now, and it is pretty straightforward and simple. If you want to use the same effect, here’s what I did. (Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement also). Read the rest of this entry »
