New Design Coming Soon!
Posted by David on February 12, 2010 | 0 comments
A while ago I launched the site you’re currently reading this on. I wanted a place where I can let people know a little bit about me and my thoughts web design related things. At the same time I’ve been having a lax approach about the things I post here. Having a place online where I can be personal and professional has been great. I landed some awesome clients because of it and kept those people who know me in the loop about my shenanigans. I was reading the FreelanceSwitch blog where someone said, “A website is never ‘done’. It is only abandoned.” I am a strong believer of that. Though this site has only been around for 6 months, I feel that it is time to launch it’s 3rd iteration.
A new design is not the only thing that’s changing. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come.
Year in Review – 2009

The day was January 23, 2009. It was my last day working with a great company; Drum Workshop (DW Drums) was my first desk job. Before then I was a plumbers assistant. Which was also fun, but required dealing with a lot of crap if you know what I mean. I had accepted an offer made by Volusion for a job I was sure was going to start my career in web development. For just over a year I had been working on becoming a web developer. I was reading of books, watching TONS of video tutorials, and staying up until 3am everyday practicing my skills. I learned a lot in a very short amount of time. Then came January 26th. I was starting my new job that and it drained me beyond what I had expected. I wasn’t even using any of the skills I had been learning up this point. Even worse, I didn’t even see it coming.
I thought my new job would expand my knowledge of web development. I was wrong.

Digging into WordPress
Posted by David on November 20, 2009 | 0 comments
Learning so much about Drupal over the last few months have been fun. However, it’s also pushed me into wanting to really dig into WordPress lately. I’ve been absent from my site for a long time and it’s finally time I get back in gear. I recently purchased Digging into WordPress and am 4 chapters in. I love it! I definitely recommend it to anyone wants to learn how to make WordPress their own.
I’ll be working on a new WordPress project soon and this book has definitely made me more comfortable. Way more than I was when I launched this site – and I’m only 4 chapters in!
New job, fonts, and a mouse!

As some of you already know, I started a new job as a front end developer over at Sí TV early this month. While I’m technically a freelancer there, I am working in house from 9-6 everyday. I’m really enjoying it so far. The people there are great and there is so much diversity in the office. The 2 people I work directly with are pretty chill and fun to be around.
I’m working with a new environment and with a new content management system called Drupal.
