Couture. Paper. Art.

allank — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 18:13:49 +0000

Easily some of the most beautiful paper craft I have seen. Each piece is hand cut and unique, but also comes framed, at a price that is more than reasonable for the depth, texture, and shear aesthetics you receive.

It was a pleasure to help create this site. It truly is a blessing in this industry to be able to work with something that I value and appreciate. AnnaBondoc.com is a Shopify site that I help to launch this week, that is the namesake of one of the two founders; Anna Bondoc and Vanessa Peter.

It was a challenging and pleasant new development experience, as this was the first time that I have worked in Shopify. Shopify is a hosted solution for e-commerce that uses a tag library, similar to ExpressionEngine, making it incredibly easy to implement and develop your own design.

For a first run through a custom design, the Shopify learning curve was at the very least refreshing as a developer with almost no solo e-commerce experience. There are some limitations on both the front and the back end, but the templating and page development is straight forward and very easy to work with.

Though not as robust as Magento, Shopify is now certainly at the top of my list for online sales solutions for those on a budget or those with out dedicated development staff. Anna Bondoc is at the top of my list for amazing artwork and certainly for any upcoming gifts.

Please check out AnnaBondoc.com. It’s nice to see something new and beautiful make the scene.

allank — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:08:41 +0000

MakeBuzz a SEO and Internet Integration specialist launched their brand new site this morning. It is a wondrously magnificent culmination of design, content, flash, css, and jquery.

It’s graceful use of JavaScript navigation and flash animation, interaction spanning the HTML/Flash bridge compatible even in IE6, deep linking capabilities, and and stellar interaction make this a truly amazing site. The stuck footer and header, horizontal layout, and smooth animation of the navigation are unobtrusive and uniquely executed in this site. Please take a look, it has certainly pushed the envelope of forward progressive and cross-browser/backwards compatibility!

Not sure what Media Temple is doing with my email but nothing is coming in or out through SMTP, IMAP, or Webmail. I hope it gets fixed soon. This wasn’t in any update email I normally get…. wait… that’s why I didn’t get the email!

Variable Driven CSS with Lua and CGI. CSS… with Variables! Moonfall!

allank — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 18:04:43 +0000

I’m very glad to see that people are moving towards real progress in the area of dynamic CSS with variables and globals. Moonfall is making a move in the right direction. It’s not difficult to set up CGI or Lua, and the idea of variables in CSS holds exciting prospects.

jQuery 1.1.3 is Lighter and Faster. Tastes Great, Less Filling. Now With Ginseng.

allank — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 15:27:00 +0000

Not only is the compressed jQuery only 20k compressed now it’s running at 800% faster than previous incarnations of this fantabulous Javascript framework. It’s like a carb free energy drink! What’s not to love?!

When your done checking that to download your own copy, run over here to Interface elements for jQuery. Now this is something that doesn’t suck. Some more than fantastic to enrich your web experience.

Email Contact Debacle

allank — Tue, 22 May 2007 15:22:17 +0000

This is a call to anyone that has outstanding statements, questions, business, or general contact inquiries that have gone unanswered. Due to something similar to Email Chapter 11 and a nonfunctional contact form, to re-acclimate myself to communications I ask of you to please resubmit your emails and contact forms. I apologize profusely to you all, as this an egregious oversight on my part. It is in no way a reflection of my personality and I am very sorry if I have missed your communications.
