Part 2 of the Snakesite overhaul (mentioned here)… With a new chapter opening up in our lives, a facelift for the site is is probably appropriate.  I started conceptualizing the design about 6 months ago, but didn’t actually sit down and start building it until about a month ago.  It’s [...]

I think I almost single-handedly destroyed the Snakesite…
So now that Grad School is over and I have more personal time on my hands, I figured the Snakesite was due for an overhaul. It’s been almost 2 years since I last updated the site (both the design/graphics and the blogging [...]

Since I was a kid, I’ve always liked to do projects where you can “wow” people with some visual or interactive design that you created.  When I was a kid, drawing tended to fill that void.  Up until I went to college, all my notebooks or class handouts had at [...]

Well, it’s about that time again where I spread my wings and get my snow-bird ass to warmer places, check in on my vacation home and become enlightened on my 4-month sabbatical from daily life.  On the plus side, it will be alcohol and tobacco free; firearms, though, are another [...]

It’s kinda funny once you have a kid… they become the main thing you think about and want to talk about.  The problem is that (at least when I put myself in my bachelor shoes) you, as a proud parent, are the only one that wants to talk about it constantly.  [...]

To follow up from the construction:
It’s been over a year since I lasted updated this site, both gutting it (coding) and giving it a new make-over (graphic design). As anyone who keeps a site knows, you’re never quite happy with things and there’s always tinkering to be done to [...]

Once again, we’re under construction. It’s been a little under a year since I’ve last updated the site. The code will be updated, as it’s getting old (I’ll be upgrading Wordpress 2.1 to 2.6 among other things).  Don’t worry, you’ll be presented with the same graphic presentation that you’re used [...]

The birth of this website goes hand-in-hand with my experience of coding html and websites. So basically my experience is pretty limited. But over the year I’ve had this website, I have built up a little bag of tricks that I like to use to beautify it or [...]

Once again, I’m embarking on a 4-month vacation to the beach (with no water) overseas.  I’ll be handing the website over to Pam to do the primary posting until I return.  I will try to fill-in as much as I can over there.  I expect to keep busy with duty, [...]

Much of today was spent Christmas shopping with Pam.  Even though we put up the tree (a real tree) the weekend after Thanksgiving, it was nice to get back into the spirit and get the lion’s share of gifts bought.  My parents are heading out on Thursday to celebrate Christmas [...]
