Mending Plate

Piece of metal used to join something together.  I knew there were L brackets for this but I didn't know there was a single piece.  Good to know for future DIY projects.

Crazy Sword Skill

I love how funny cheesy martial arts movies can be.  Sometimes random searches pay off.

FedEx Guessing Game EN - Banner Ads

Another challenging ad for FedEx. The biggest challenge was creating the zooming out effect under 40kb.

YUI + jQuery = Datatables.net Search

Came across an interesting article on combining YUI with jQuery to create the equivalent of datatables.net. I heavily use datatables.net but I find it's bulky and wonder if I should spend time to learn either YUI or GOOGLE visualization tools.

Samsung LCD Monitor Advisor - Website

A rush website that took 2 weeks to conceptualize and execute. The idea was to incorporate the theme of LCDs and how they fit into our everyday life style.  The idea was to create a site that allowed the user to enter into another life style by clicking on the monitor in the scene.  You would zoom in to another life style and the music would switch creating a different atmosphere.

Cesar Woofstock EN - Microsite

Here's a really cool Cesar microsite I did a while back. The idea was to promote an event called Woofstock and showcase the types of events that would be happening there. Animating the Maggie was pretty fun and was done to give it a little more life to the page since we went with a sepia toned look.

Volvo - Banner Ads

Some banner ads I designed and built from way back in my Mindblossom days. The great thing about these ads is that we did an average of 2% click through conversion on these banners. Which is ridiculously high in comparison to what most banner ads get.
