Getting the usual collection of the spring time, bugs, flowers, and anything else that may be found outside enjoying the sun.

Trying out a picasa plugin, which for some reason takes my videos from my gallery and displays them as a screenshot. You can view the gallery here.

Updated the site, needed it, I’ve been running a very out-dated thematic build for nearly 3 years now, I have learned so much about how thematic works in that time since I first created the theme, and always felt like such a noob having an early attempt as my primary theme.

This update, I’m using a different theme framework, it’s called Reverie which was built on the Foundation framework.

I’ll continue to tinker with it as I usually do, but I’m pretty happy with it so far. If you have you notice anything unusual while viewing please let me know.

Bought an eversave coupon(groupon clone) for the Capital of Texas Zoo. From the satellite view on the maps it looked like it was in someone’s backyard, driving out to it felt even more like it was in someone’s backyard. Defiantly the smallest zoo I’ve ever seen, had plenty of animals, just in a very small space.

A new build for Shelton Interactive, A Love Child is the site of author Ellen O’Neill.

The design was provided by Shelton Interactive, I built the theme using thematic and the site is built on wordpress.

I recently began assisting Shelton Interactive building sites for them and helping them with some debugging of their current client list.  My first project for them was this site build for Travis & Company, a company who experts in executive recruiting for life science companies.

Site featured mailchimp integration, featured slideshow, quote rotater, video lighbox, and blogs.

The design was provided by Shelton Interactive, I built the theme using thematic and the site is built on wordpress.

Launched Latipac.com this week for Latipac Commercial, LLC, a property management company with locations in Houston and Austin.

Built on wordpress 3, I used an elegantthemes premium theme built for reality sites as a framework, and customized it to fit the client’s needs.  Also used a handy google maps plug-in for wordpress called MapPress to handle the maps on the “Properties” page.

FLK provided the design, which was created by Tenderling.

Several custom elements were needed that I built into the theme, the home page needed images to fade in and out, as well as a section that changed randomly on refresh. There is also a custom scroll bar on a second level page. All custom visual elements were built in using jQuery.

We were accepted into Art Outside 2011 with Light Doodler, a bit of a deviation off of LZR with the predominant aspect being user interaction instead of a light show.

It turned out working better than expected, we set the wall up and walked away and every time we would walk back we would see another group of people doing something different, everyone experienced it their own way, and it was so much more fulfilling to offer something like that to the festival.

Thanks again to all who participated and joined us that weekend, it remains one of my favorite festivals of the year.
