For those of you out of the loop, Forrst is an invite-only community for web designers and developers to share and critique each other’s work. I currently have 1 invite to send out, but I don’t know who to give it to!
If you are a talented web designer or developer that is interested in this Forrst invite, post a comment with a link to your website or portfolio for me to look over! Remember, I won’t pick just anyone. 
Recently I’ve been reading a lot about HTML5 and CSS3 and the amazing capabilities that these upcoming tools offer to us web developers. The border-radius and box-shadow properties themselves are huge steps forward. After looking at piles of HTML5 and CSS3 demos, I decided that it’s time to create one of my own.
For this project I decided to make a web-based resume. I actually began this project several months ago, but I was recently inspired to start over from scratch after viewing an HTML5/CSS3 layout by onextrapixel.com.
This demo works best in Google Chrome or Apple Safari. Firefox will work well enough if you don’t have either of those browsers available. I hope you enjoy it!

I apologize for not having updated in some time. Things have been pretty hectic and I’d like to tell you why. Over the past couple of months I have accepted a new job offer and moved to a new apartment in Lansing. I was recently hired by INgage Networks to work full-time as a UI Engineer in Lansing, MI. I will be in Naples, FL until May 27th for training at the INgage Networks headquarters. Palm trees and sun!
Just as before, I will still be offering freelance website design and development services. Since my time is limited, I will only be focusing on one project at a time to ensure a quality website and a happy customer. I currently have one project on hold that I will begin upon my return to Michigan for a former co-worker at Landscape Forms.
Kalamazoo customers are still more than capable of receiving my services. Distance is not a problem in the age of technology that we live in. My services are available to anyone no matter where they may be located. Thank you for your time and patience!
eBid Auctions is an website that I made during my internship at Landscape Forms for internal company auctions. This website uses ASP.NET and SQL Server with the jQuery User Interface to create an easy-to-use rich web application for employees to bid on auction items. Fancy Box was also employed for image pop-ups and item descriptions.
Unfortunately I cannot link you to the website since it is internal, however I have uploaded some screen shots for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
Recently, I was looking for some ideas to change the Connect section at the bottom of my site. In my search, I came across a set of free social networking icons created by Komodo Media. This package includes icons for over 40 social networking sites and more in both 16×16 and 32×32 pixel sizes. To see an example, please look at the Connect section in the footer of my website, or visit the download link below.
I think these icons are a great free resource for developers. If you would like to download them, please visit the following link and download the file from Komodo Media. Enjoy!
