i like to make stuff

Lost a bunch of post images etc.. Trying to get it back together

I don’t normally blog about movies, etc. but this one (or the original, I guess) holds a special place in heart. TRON has been a big deal for me since I was a kid.. both technologically (the dreams I had of what was possible) and visually..

I would highly suggest downloading the 1080p version

After 3 1/2 years at BFG I’ve decided to move on to something else…  It’s been a great opportunity, and I wish them all the best as they continue to push the marketing industry!

For my next adventure, I’ll be taking the role of Senior Software Engineer, UI at Kace, and I couldn’t be more excited!  They’ve got a great set of products and some even better stuff in the pipeline.

Also, it was announced today that Dell has purchased Kace!  So, ACTUALLY, I’ll be taking a job at Dell, which is really cool as well!

sign up.. we’ll be in touch.

here’s a play kitchen I built for my kids for Christmas..

it’s been a while since I’d gotten to do any woodworking.. and who better to do it for than my favorite people in the world.

B Mace just put a new portfolio, you should go check it out, because he’s REALLY good at what he does.

Also, he sent me an article called “The Way I Work: Jason Fried of 37Signals” which show Jason Fried’s approach to his work day..  It’s inspiring and makes a lot of sense… if only more business owners would follow suit.

Since we released Flu Fighter, we’ve been working on a list of bug fixes and changes that we had in mind, and things that we’ve gathered from listening to our users.

Recently, we released 1.1 which addressed most of those issues, but people still weren’t happy with the controls. SO, after some time put in specifically rewriting the control code, 1.2 is live, and it makes a HUGE difference in the control you have over the falling pill

We really hope the users like the changes, and hopefully will continue to give us feedback..

We’ve got several new features in store for Flu Fighter still , so keep an eye out!

BFG Interactive recently launched a new site for The South Magazine.

I built all of the flash pieces for the site, including ad rotators, media players and image galleries.

I’m the VP and senior developer at BFG Interactive, the interactive division of BFG Communications, and we just recently launched a new company site.

The site is a hybrid of html, AJAX, and Flash which had to to an existing extranet for some content, provide deep linking, and be visually dynamic… so the technical challenges were great, but we’re very proud of the final outcome. I did a great deal of the Flash work throughout the site, along with a great team of designers and other developers.

Well, we finally got our first iPhone app approved (so go buy it now)

I did all of the development work for the app, as well as the web-based scoring system.
