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!

Email Contact Debacle
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.
I have recently decided to expand my work experience and am considering job offers both full time and freelance. I am highly proficient in CSS 1.x, 2.x, 3; XHTML transitional, strict; XML and SEO. I have several Addy recognitions for my contribution to the internet in web. My knowledge base is firmly ruited in creative design aesthetics, standards compliance, device independence, interface and navigation, interaction design, and user experience.
If you or anyone you know is in need of design, programming, or flash work, please review my resume and my portfolio, and pass my information along.
To extend experience and functionality I have installed WP Lightbox JS Plugin for site imagery and Automattic Stats for WP Global Dashboard. Check out the portfolio for a good example of Lighbox functionality.
Plugin used to overlay images on the current page into neat Javascript-powered overlay popups. This plugin includes the new Lightbox JS v2.03.2 javascript written by Lokesh Dhakar and got transformed into a Wordpress Plugin by me. Use the
titleattribute if you want to show a caption. Click on the images below for an example. Source
Automattic Stats is the analytics solution that WP users get but as a plugin for people serving their own instance of WordPress.
There are hundreds of plugins and services which can provide statistics about your visitors. However I found that even though something like Google Analytics provides an incredible depth of information, it can be overwhelming and doesn’t really highlight what’s most interesting to me as a writer. That’s why Automattic created its own stats system, to focus on just the most popular metrics a blogger wants to track and provide them in a clear and concise interface. Source
It makes things prettier than they were, which sounds impossible, and it makes it easier for me to get you good content. We both win.

Summer Slump
Sorry for the lack of posts. Freelance has come to a screeching halt and all leads have basically evaporated. Thing are slow, so if you are aware of any work needing to be done, please contact me.
I am currently working on a few articles that will be posting soon. Some CSS work, gallery updates, portfolio additions, asides and more links.

Portfolio Is GO!
Be gentle. It is still a work in progress. I have yet to represent all of the glorious work that I have accomplished. There are quite a few illustrations that I am happy displaying. Though, I am currently discussing amongst contemporaries whether or not those are best fit for another section. Any thoughts on that matter? I would love any feedback that you have.

Portfolio Updates
Soon it will be done. Soon you will see. I’m wrapping up some finishing touches on my portfolio. It will obviously be a work in progress, but I want to represent at least a small portion of the work I accomplished. I’ll give everyone the head’s up when it is live. Surely you are all salivating with anticipation at the prospect of basking in my awesome glow.
Check it out in the main navigation, or click here to visit my portfolio. If you have any comments at all, or just want to say, “hello,” drop me a line on my contact page. Any feeback would surely be appreciated.

SXSW Pilgrimage
I am almost done packing my bags, I have secured most of the electronics I require to make it 5 days in a foreign city, and I have pressed and folded my most dapper of threads. Sometime Friday morning around 5 in the morning I will be on the first leg of my trip to SXSW. Waking up at 5′aught clock, securing my luggage and carry-ons, and heading to the airport. On the plane by 7, layover in Dallas/Fort Worth for an hour, back in the air by 9:30 and on the ground in Austin by 10:45. I’m traveling with a companion, the Multimedia Designer from Netcom, Nick. We will hit up Enterprise to pick up our economy sized Ford Micro-Spec or the next smallest car you can get for couch change. Fortunately we will both be rocking our own rooms; with king size beds at that. The best accomodations we could procure at the late date of our reservations slightly procludes us from walking. We will be lodge at the Holiday Inn – Town Lake which, thankfully, is only about 5 minutes from everything by car.
Questions that I still would like to answer before reaching the mecca:
- Should I bring my laptop everywhere?
- Is it ok to record audio/video?
- Is it ok to re-broadcast sed audio/video?
- How will I be able to see the 6 panels I want at the same time?
- What is/are the etiquette/morays of SXSW?
So that is the ultimate idea. Though, that is also just the beginning. It would be great to find some Sherpa or mystical guide to aide my way finding on this SXSW pilgrimage. I am open to the advice of any and all folks the have been there or know something I don’t.
