Friends With Websites Kickstarter
Monday, May 31st, 2010
I am moving in both place and mind. I have been working as a web designer/ developer for a number of years. Largely it has been satisfying and educational work. There is much intrigue to me in understanding these technologies we inhabit. It is wonderful work to enable and empower individual humans and projects, less so to dress up faceless business and spin one’s wheels. In moving place I am raising money. In moving mind I am raising awareness and quality. Templates are well and good where personality lacks. Templates are an insult to personality. Many friends with websites are left with no place to turn but to the vile template overlords. Who can afford a website?
For swaggeringly deflated rates I will design/redesign/and/or/redevelop the websites of humans. The projects will be addressed as they come in, and I will take every measure possible to turn them around in no more than a week’s time. All the sites will be collected and linked on a communal site at the end of the project so that friends may share friends and websites alike.
I am a designer, programmer, and tinkerer. Here is the evidence:
alt/ATL Delete (professionally)
OR/AND
ATL/alt Website (casually)
Send me adjectives, designs you like, and what you’re looking for in a home on the internet. Please no: “I’d like to develop like a Facebook type application for my readers.” or “Can you make like, YouTube?” No more social networks. Let’s talk about you.
All sites built from scratch to spec. Quick, clean, and compliant code that’ll grow old slow and well.
Blogger and Wordpress friendly. If there’s a question about features/functionality, e-mail first and we’ll discuss it. These should be quick projects, not big builds.

Printed but did not design the above poster for my pals at Kill Mike Use (who’s website I designed but didn’t print) and their production of Shakespeare’s Henry V.

Last Day to Pre-Order White Horses
Monday, May 24th, 2010
Only 24 hours left to pre-order White Horses by Douglas W Milliken from NaDA. Order today and get it for cheaper AND better (personally stamped, signed, written, and drawn). After tomorrow it will be available for the regular $12 from Lulu.
Pre-Order White Horses. I should also mention that it is the author’s (pictured above) birthday today.

(NOTE: That white dot smaller than the “.” represents the Big Six)
This image I drew up yesterday is not accurate, but illustrative. It’s based on cobbled old data from a number of different sources, but the generality of the image hold that a very small percentage of the companies in the industry (between 6 and 10) rake in 90% of the profits. The small publishers, which make up 99% of the bulk are left with about half of that remaining 10%.

Pixel Junky
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
A 5 minute proof of concept (actually spent longer putting the damn thing up on the site). A bastardization of PHP Javascript, CSS, and rand(). Available in full screen versions. Very variable. Not the fastest on the draw but… faster now that I re-wrote it in Javascript. I like writing PHP so much more, so generally I end up rewriting programs again and again because it’s not necessarily the best (actually explicitly NOT) way to hand in-browser processing. Pixel Junk

Didn’t Die Young Yet
Monday, February 22nd, 2010
New project from Jake Cholak & NaDA just launched tonight, Didn’t Die Young Yet: Stories for Strangers. We’re soliciting friends and strangers through Kickstarter for money for stories. Jake Cholak is basically furious, also a fantastic writer. This is a foray of an experiment. For now, pledge an amount to the project and you will receive a story written just for you. Pledge over $12 and you will receive a copy of the resulting book collecting all the stories written for the project. For the sake of perpetuating fictions.
