...but first, a few of my Photoshop creations. A website needs graphics, and it's often most appropriate and practical to create your own. This is a very minute sampling of my Photoshop creations for various projects. Some of them are thumbnails of the originals - for example, click on the puzzle piece to see the geek valentine I sent my wife.
Some fun things to add to sites until I master Flash!
This little mouseover widget is done with thanks and apologies to my web idol Zeldman. I don't have a clue if he did it the same way, but it was a mouseover on one of his site's old incarnations that motivated me to do the javascript for this one.

We sell rigging at Northwest Industrial Supply, which is the cables and slings used for hoisting large objects. Our customers and salesmen need to constantly figure prices for these things, so I wrote a little web app in php for them to calculate prices with.
This is a simple database access feature.

Wave to the folks, Wrenchy!
This is my first animated gif, and a link to a commercial site I recently did a complete make over on. Their desire to keep the existing branding and logo limited my design efforts, but I did what I could while beginning the transition to XHTML and CSS. I've added movies and online ordering pages, and it's still a work in progress.
Beating My Own Drum
Sound is one of those features that, with over half the population still downloading over dial-up connections, you have to be judicious in applying. Me playing my congas is worth the wait.
