15RoseAve.com is feeling better now

15roseave.com

Some minor visual fixes and suddenly a site can turn feel so much better.  I finally got back to cleaning up the visual flaws that were bothering me on 15roseave.com, and added some new functionality as well.

Re-worked the header,

and I was finally able to write a few posts for the experiences.

And using the wonderful Twitter Tools plugin I have a tweet digest reporting all the tweets of the day, which is actually quite useful as I’m using the 15 rose twitter to RT any and all awesome things happening in the Venice/Santa Monica Area, so follow us if that’s your thing.

Head over and check out 15roseave.com sometime, let me know what you think.  And if your looking for a place to stay in California, well, you know where you can go…

Little Big Planet & HeadShot

I’m currently working on a level for Little Big Planet centered around HeadShot Energy Shot.  You grab a bottle and fly through the air, it’s fun stuff but still needs just a few more tweaks to fix the obvious problems.  I’m going to try to update some of the pictures too, but it should be done soon, I’ll let you know when to look for it.

version 1 is completed, now to open the level and see if it works for the public.
You can play it too, search in the community for “HeadShot Mega Energy” and let me know what you think.

NACS 2008 Trade Show Entertainment

I was responsible for the booth entertainment this year, and so I DJ’ed the booth all three days and kept the vibe cool, collected and welcoming. We had one other booth complain about the noise, and several booths compliment on it, someone even asked for a CD, which was pretty cool.

Didn’t get a chance to save any sets, but with each day being 6 hours long, it seemed like it might be overkill.

Photos in Tipp-C

During my time at Tipp-C as a photography/design intern, I was able to use a lot of my photography in the magazine, the few of us interns that worked their(Eric & Adam deserve a shout) would design the entire magazine in the weekend before going to press.

Tipp-C was an interesting experience, but it was always humbling to see my photos on the cover of a campus wide paper.
