Web Development

Athens Housing Authority
This site was created first using Drupal, with a zen subtheme created exclusively for AHA. Then, I ported it to wordpress so the admins could have an easier time editing. I very much enjoy working with the folks at AHA. I manage updates and occasionally add content.
NCRA Recycles
This is a very popular environmental non-profit in California. I created the front-end and maintain the backend security, but not the content, using wordpress.
New York Product Stewardship Council
This was a quick WordPress site upgraded from a static site. I maintain the security and occasional complex content changes.
GrassRoots Recycling Network
This is really old, mostly archival but has been a popular environmental non-profit site. Located in California.
magicJack Check
A fairly popular WordPress site about hints and tips for magicJack plus. I’ve made quite a number of youtube videos that support this site.
The site you are currently viewing…
Originally created in Drupal 6, I converted this site to WordPress.

Audio Public Service Announcements

Bear Hollow Zoo
- Random PSA’s are played every twenty minutes on the hour, 20 past and 40 past. The half-hour-to-closing PSA plays at 4:30 — similarly with the ten-minutes-to-closing and closed PSA. Below are the current PSA’s played on the zoo’s PA system.
- Using an old computer, I converted it to a linux machine, compiled the scripts that allow audio to play in playlists and created a few bash scripts that allow for audio PSA’s every 20 minutes.
- I then created these PSA’s using youtube audio for the background sound.

Music

The below flash player contains some of the music I’ve composed in Finale using a Kawaii K-11. The genre is ‘Cinematica’ – background music for movies.

While it may seem odd to list these, it does give a small sample of the kinds of things that interest me as a designer and developer. It also lets those interested know that I’m at least familiar with some of the latest information in design.
