The KingdomPros.com project was a relatively small one, dealing mostly with installing third-party software and training. Our programming work consisted of two contact forms which allowed visitors to the site to email the KingdomPros team directly. The scripts were simple PHP email scripts using the mail() function. We also installed two third-party sets of software. […]
The Jackson Public Schools Career Preparation System site was a fairly short, simple project involving web design, development, and some graphic design. The graphic design was the easiest part. The only logo files that CPS had were old, discolored, pixilated JPEGs that simply were no longer suitable for use. We redrew the logos in Adobe […]
A couple years ago when I has having my basement finished I set aside an area for displaying some of my hockey memorabilia. Actually, it was more an area so that I could start collecting the things I always said I would, as I’d kind of held off on collecting much due to space constraints. […]
Jenny Jensen of NextJen Mobile is a friend of mine, so when she mentioned she was having trouble coming up with a logo for NextJen, I got to thinking about possibilities. An idea popped into my head pretty much fully-formed and, while I admit it’s a bit cliche, she liked it and ran with with […]
Last week I wrote about my presentation at TechSmith’s Recon conference, “Implementing Advanced Trello Functionality via the Trello API.” Embedded in that post is a video of the presentation itself. It’s not the video that was included when I first published the post, though. I initially published the post with video embedded straight from TechSmith […]
I write about the Trello API a lot. So much that I’ve already noted that I write about it a lot. I keep coming across new stuff, though, so I’m going to keep writing about it. My latest experiment was a look into using their batch call, which I don’t see a lot of documentation about […]
I’ve written pretty extensively on my work with the Trello API and yesterday I got to present the code side of it at TechSmith’s internal development conference, ReCon. Last year I presented for the first time (when the event was called DevCon) and I think I learned a lot from it that helped me this […]
I was going through my portfolio recently and realized that I have an entry for my Press Your Luck game but I’ve only described how it works, never taken a deep dive into the code. The current version (if you can call something no longer in use “current”) runs entirely on the client side. There […]
I was going to do a write-up of the winners of the Grand Rapids Griffins’ jersey contest over at DetroitHockey.Net – where I’d already done a review and posted my predictions – but I realized doing so after my design didn’t win would come across as sour grapes. Instead, I decided to own that; accept the […]
As of a couple hours ago, the Grand Rapids Griffins’ alternate jersey contest is closed. I wrote about my submission early in the contest but with it done I feel a little more comfortable iterating on it a bit. After staring at my work for nearly a month, wondering if it would hold up to […]
