As Far As I Can Tell

This weekend I was visited by Dan, my parents, Ivo and Matt. I’ve been known to proclaim things such as “I hate guests”, but that’s definitely not true. Why would I say it?—I’m good at taking out frustrations in all the wrong places. This was the first time my Dad has ridden the El, and his first time downtown in probably a decade. Thanks for stopping by everyone.

Dan and I worked out some ideas for his website portfolio, and for the upcoming Moped Magazine. I have so many projects that need attention right now. I think the main thing that overwhelms me is that I still haven’t designed, let alone built, my portfolio. I found sketches for it in my notebook from February of last year.

I have a really strong love/hate relationship with my computer right now. On one hand, nearly all of my interests lie intangibly inside of the screen that I’m starring at. On the other, it’s a demanding medium that keeps growing, ever ends, and easily frustrates.

Some work that I did for the Kalamazoo Arts Council is now online. None of the visual design is mine, but the interaction and movement within the navigation was designed and programmed by me. Note that there are two different types of navigation; one on the homepage and one internally. The homepage is simply a fun addition to the photos, while the internal nav provide a bit more utility.

For those in Kalamazoo, you might want to check out the rest of the website. In particular there is an Arts Event Calendar that might be useful.
