• It's been awhile...

    So, I've been out of the loop the past several weeks with a move to La Crosse, WI and all the insanity that follows migrating a family of 3 (+1 brother-in-law) 500 miles. I have been getting into some new stuff though, and here's my starter list for new things of 2010.

    Web Fonts:

    Patrick has finally done it - we're moving to TypeKit and trying to improve typographic treatments to improve the look and feel of our sites.  It was bound to happen, he's a type-guy and I don't question his judgement on design stuff (for good reason).

    (More) Mobile Development:

    This was my goal last year, but got back-burnered with everything else going on. It's not that a HAVEN'T done m-dev, I just really haven't delved into enough for it to be second-nature like jQuery, PHP, or CSS. It really needs to be part of my toolkit in this day-and-age.

    Apache & .htaccess:

    I've worked with Apache for some time now, but usually on a grid or shared environment. I can't stand just using something - I need to know the inner workings and how to tweak it, so I've built a seperate system dedicated to this task.  Just recently started working with mod_rewrite and .htaccess (thank jeebus I'm finally getting off the Windows servers for the most part) and I want to tie that into my studies of the most widely used web server platform.

    Organization:

    Since the move I've been on an organization kick - I cleaned out a lot of useless old crap in my life and I want to start fresh. I'm cleaning up my email, documents, and even exploring new tools to help me link the things I need to do with actually doing them.

     

    So, I know it's a little unusual to see new year's goals the 1st of Feb., but I'm grateful I took a month to reflect on where I was, make a change in my life, and get things back on track.  Oh, and for anyone who's looking for more code/plugins/etc. I'm also planning on revamping and focusing more on my contributions.

    jQuery Quotes Slider

    I built this some time ago for a client, but it never got used on the site. Always loved it and wanted to put it out there for everyone. Enjoy!

    jQuery Sticky Footer

    I hate to re-post, but this is something I constantly use, and I didn't want to lose it, so I'm throwing it in my blog. Thanks to Chris Coyier of CSS-Tricks for this one.

More Coming...

If you can't tell, I just rebuilt my website, new (custom) CMS and all.

Problem is I need more content. Hoping to have this area populated quickly.
