  • The New Flickr Photo Album Plugin for WordPress Mar 31 2006, 14 Comments

    Alright, here’s the first of hopefully many Silas Partners sponsored plugins for WordPress. If you’ve poked around this site, you’ll probably have already found it.. but in case you havn’t, here’s the ‘official’ announcment.
    The Flickr Photo Album plugin for WordPress is a plugin I developed at work. We’re actively using WordPress as a platform [...]

  • New Site: McLean Presbyterian Church Mar 29 2006, 1 Comment

    Just launched the new web site for McLean Presbyterian Church. It’s got a pretty simple look and feel, which I think is really one of the hallmarks of great web design: presenting just enough information, without being overly “pushy”.

For example, I did the animation code for these slideshow pictures by hand (move your mouse over the thumbnails at the bottom). While [...]

  • And the Oscar goes to… Mar 06 2006, 2 Comments

    Crash? The only movies I saw that were nominated were King Kong, War of the Worlds and Narnia. They really seemed to push the “theater going” experience as the way of properly seeing a movie. Well ok, maybe I’d go to the movie theaters more often if the tickets weren’t so expensive, it doesn’t cost [...]
