I have now relocated myself to the west coast... San Francisco. I'm here to peruse some of my professional goals. I hope to be posting more frequently now that I'm starting to get settled in. Things have been fairly busy with wrapping up projects and moving. I have been talking to some exciting agencies here, and hope one of them likes me enough to hire me.... stay tuned.

In the mean time, here are some of the things I've been browsing:

Nice site using PaperVision3D...

"Bring on the wood and sheet metal! Break out your saw! Cut the pieces to size, assemble them, paint them and… voila! You’ve built your own airplane. Now it’s time to get it off the ground… will it fly…?" - lessrain.com

I've recently launched a new website, 713flash.com. This website serves two purposes. To host applications/sites/experiments I am working on, such as as Pviewr. It's second purpose, is to provide a place that will feature content and news related to my freelance activities.

Pviewr (Photo Gallery Viewer) is an online tool for viewing web Photo Galleries. It allows you to view photos from either Flickr or Picasa (Web Albums). Pviewr is built using the Flickr API that comes with SWX, and SWXml to incorporate data from the Picasa API.

This was built as an entry for the SWX Contest....

"Create any cool experiment, site, application, and/or mashup that uses SWX RPC, either with SWX PHP or without writing any server-side code at all by using the SWX APIs on the Public SWX Gateway...

You will be judged on the creativity of your entries, their visual appeal, usability (where applicable), and the amazing ways in which they make use of existing or custom SWX APIs."

"... meet and catch up with dozens of web designers and developers who were eager to tell me about their latest projects. We captured a bunch of these conversations and demos on camera, the results of which are presented below." - Julie Campagna, Adobe
