Fast Rapid Web Prototyping →

I recently needed a way to prototype fast, real fast. Two platforms I am comfortable with are Codeigniter and Wordpress. Inspired by some of the handy functions Wordpress has to offer I created a system in Codeigniter for rapid web prototyping.

Inspiration from all things skate

I stumbled across a really talented individual recently. His name is Michael Leon and he has a truly powerful body of work. I connected with his story and work because of some personal life similarities. Namely, skateboarding. His biography on his Website states, “He has the know-how and discipline of a trained professional, but embodies the freedom of thought and Do-It-Yourself tenacity of...

Harley Quinn... a new look?

Developing... a lot :P

I feel like I had a busy week. This could possibly be on account of the fact that I DID have a busy week. My brain has been scattered and I cannot focus. My work problems invade my personal life. My personal life cannot separate code from comics from crappy movie downloads. Perhaps the beer does not help to cleanse my palette so much as it makes it even more murky. Here’s one: my iPod...

My First Web App: Web Code Ninja

I had the joy of getting into a slightly more serious look at HTML5 and CSS3. No, unfortunately I did not do anything rad with canvas, but I did make a fun little Web App that let’s you evaluate your Ninja level as a developer! Check it out at webcodeninja.com
