Site Development

The site is progressing well, with a few new ideas coming together. Next in line to implement will be the tutorials archive, using slightly different templates, but making it possible to add to the resources, especially for using EE and using jQuery, HTML5, RWD and CSS3 tricks. I also *plan* to use a dynamic page load that takes care of...

Site Gallery 2012

The idea was to start with the image, then think of a matching title, then write the poem. As an experiment in creating a collection of work which is connected, and with...

We do Kool not Kute

The show was great, and I really enjoyed making the media. This is the clip, there’s also a small gallery...
