Web
Some of the coding is old-style, and some sites I inherited and cleaned up, so please don't judge my abilities by what you see in the source code, except where I suggest the source code is worth judging.
Georgia Mainstreet
This website was done completely in ASP.net 2.0 for the Georgia Department of Community Affairs - Design Unit in Athens, GA. It has an administrative backend using MSSQL. It is my first state government site. The design was entirely implemented using Dreamweaver, but some pages were troubleshot in Visual Studio Express 2005. Many thanks for lots of coding hints and immense help from Maris Wynn and Tommy Byrd of the Department of Community Affairs in Atlanta, GA. I did this as part of my grad student assistantship.
British Columbia Product Stewardship Council
This site is done entirely in CSS. No tables at all! CSS and HTML validate properly.
I really like the banner at the top. I'd like to refine it a bit, but I think it's a good go for a weekend project.
F3
- Farrell, Farrell & Farrell, L.C.
A regional law firm in West Virginia, serving three states:
WV, OH, KY. This site uses extensive databasing and is nearly entirely managed by the firm in-office via the administrative web interface I designed - including the news scroller on the front page. Sorry you can't see it!
GrassRoots
Recycling Network
My first professional site - this site opened my
eyes to the possibilities of web design.
Kids
Recycle!
My first site entirely done in PHP, this site
was originally part of GRRN above, but got so many hits
that we decided to make it a separate site. The new design
stripped page size from an average of 20K per page to
about 6K per page. Lower bandwidth and better presentation
- I'm sold. Thought not yet entirely W3C compliant, it's
considerably more compliant than 90% of what's on the
web.
Container
Recycling Institute Basically I've redone the look and feel but not the
content of this site. We've removed old html formating
in favor of CSS, once again reducing page size and increasing
consistency.
FinancialAccord
An important as an example of simple elegance and
easily navigable pages. One of my favorite sites.
EPR
Working Group
A conglomeration of Non-profits needed a relatively
unbranded site with all the information about their joint
efforts. This site uses a database for live display of
new endorsers.
Classic
City Toastmasters Now deprecated, this was one of the first sites in which I implemented user-editable
mySQL backend.
Healthy
Schools The no longer entirely functional or current, this
serves as an example that I put up in a weekend to respond
to a local need.
Logos
The
Zero Waste Symbol Simple yet implying so much, this symbol has been
used in various publications in GRRN and other organizations.
Can't see the play list in green above?

I wrote these songs myself in Finale. They
are CD quality and may take some time to download on slower
connections. Just click the play button. They may play in the
background while you are viewing my website portfolio.
If your speaker system is excellent, you'll be pleased
at what you can distinguish in frequency and timbre.
I used the MIDI capabilities of Finale to get certain instruments
to fade in and out, pan left and right, express vibrato and
bend in pitch. I also randomized the timing just enough to
give the notes a more 'live' feel. I used a Kawaii K-11 keyboard
for the sounds and ported them directly into mp3 format from
audio.
My songs are generally cinematic in expression, so I've
coined the term 'Cinematica' to describe them. Music tends
to evoke images - the below list of songs includes images
that come to mind when I hear them.
Island Regrets wishing you were far away on an island somewhere
rather than facing a poignant immediate challenge.
Thanksgiving Song
the joy of family gatherings and how we often find ourselves
embracing these short-lived times, warts and all.
Emerald Peaks
mountainous translucent green waves and long journeys on
the sea.
Desert Tango
scorpions dancing on moonlit sand that still radiates the
day's heat.
Sky Sails
skimming the limits of earth's atmosphere at incredible
speeds.
The Willow Song
kids in summer at a willow-lined river swinging out on
a rope and jumping in.
The Slighted Detective
not wise to slight the early 20th century detective character
implied by this theme.
Glacial Shelf Separation
unfinished - an ice shelf parting from the continent of antarctica
Carousel in Fall
unfinished - children on a carousel
