This week has been full of ups and downs. I started the week with with a cold and Sienna was right there with me sneezing, coughing and lots of snot. She was not a pleasant child to be around. The discomfort from sinus pressure and drainage put her in a mood all [...]
I took the opportunity to mingle with everyone the night before the conference at a tweetup hosted by The Creative Space. Throwing back beers provided by St. Arnold Brewery and chatting it up with fellow design/web geeks is a great way to spend a Friday night.
I’m getting a chance to meet with like minded individuals at Design Camp in downtown Bryan this weekend. For the most part I just stay home and work on freelance projects here and there but have yet to construct a decent brand for my business. I’m really looking forward to gain some insight [...]
Pinotopia.net was the first creative thing I ever published to the web. An online journal to keep track and post tasting notes of the pinot noir I drink.

It didn't take long before I was hacking away with XHTML & CSS and eventually found programming with PHP & Javascript interesting and fun. I became aware of the Web Standard’s community and do my best to practice what is preached by Unkle Jeffrey. I love learning new technologies and believe great web design is achieved with standards-based best practices and flexibility.
