I collected and digitized historical documents from the local Gainesville, Florida community in order to create the Radical Women in Gainesville Digital Collection. The collection features newspapers, letters, journals, and other materials from the 1970s women's movement.
I also created the Radical Women in Gainesville Online Exhibit to provide a visual snapshot of the women's movement in Gainesville and to give context to the digitally-preserved/featured documents. The exhibit features small histories of different parts of the movement, quotes from the women who participated in its history, reappropriated images, a flash slideshow, and a lengthy timeline documenting the women's movement community from the late 1960s to the present.
These sites are hosted by the University of Florida George A. Smathers Libraries server and were made possible by the University of Florida Digital Library Center.
Responsible for full design. Worked as an in-house web developer for 3 months to create this 90-page site that provides science-related services and resources to University of Florida science library patrons. Site is 100% standards compliant. All based on CSS, XHTML, and Javascript.
Search engines on the front and secondary pages provide easy access to the University's library catalog. Resources are divided by subjects, patrons, and by topics, thereby providing several different access points to the same information.
The site features many of Google's embeddable tools, such as a Picasa slideshow on the history and donation pages, a youtube video/virtual tour of the library on the about page, an interactive MapIt on the location page, a sitemap, search engine, and Google Analytics to monitor the site's performance. Thanks to UF's Lift Text Transcorder, the site is also available in text-only.
Designed a simple, elegant index and contact page as part of a local marketing campaign. Used PHP script for submitting form to email account.
I am also hosting this site via domain name forwarding and masking.
Coming soon!
This site will make use of jquery's lightbox plugin.
I graduated from the University of Florida in 2007. I worked as a web designer for UF and now develop and maintain web applications and graphics for ITT Corporation. In my spare time I enjoy the finer things in life: slow-pitch softball, body surfing, and robotic dancing.
This site in no way reflects the vision and/or mission of ITT, its annexes, or any of its government contracts.
Attention iTunes junkies: Paying $1 per song is absurd. Paying a monthly subscription fee for music through Rhapshody is equally as ludicrous. Why? Well for starters when you purchase music through iTunes and/or Rhapsody there's restrictions that limit you from doing whatever you want with your music, referred to as Digital Rights Management (DRMs)...

I maintain legacy apps at my work - built in vb and asp. I'm also pretty new to programming so when tasked to convert a string to a truncated datetime, I spent waaaaaay too much time figuring it out. Here's the trick, although it seems pretty obvious now - just use CDate and FormatDateTime together... Read full entry.
Background: I recently created a Myspace account because I wanted to discover new indie/folksy/garage-sounding music that you can only find there. Just to give some background, I've been a facebook user for the past 4/5 years. But one would never expect my acclimation to Myspace to be so... difficult and... aggravating... and just lacking integrity completely... Read full entry.
