August 5, 2011: Shot List Created

Today marks the roll out of a new color scheme for the site. It is still a work in progress, but more colorful (and a little less formal) than the previous version. The quantity of content will continue to grow over time as I am able to add new things.
August 2, 2011: Production Reel Updated
I've updated the Production Reel . It's now set up to stream from the Summaries page, on demand.

July 19, 2007: Resume - Update
Updated my resume into more of a CV form. Over the years, trying to constrain everything to two pages led to progressively more and more details being cut. This had reached a detrimental level, and the switch brings more of the relevant bits back.
December 1, 2006: W3C Quality Assurance Validation - Update
To prevent going down the slippery slope toward visual clutter (that is, by progressively adding more and more disparate logos to the pages), I've decided to remove the validation logos from each page on this site. I remain keen on standards and interoperability, and will continue to validate, but choose not to wear each logo as if it were a merit badge. Soon, I plan to add a page containing references and links to various relevant standards, interoperability, open source tools, etc.

Today marks the roll out of a completely new website design. It is still a work in progress, but is substantially better than the previous version. The quantity of content will grow over time as I am able to add new things.
