If you have any work that you think I could be of service, feel free to contact me.
6.01.10 - I have completed building PixelRobotic.com. It is a startup for a group of talented freelancers in the Twin Cities area, led by myself. We work and have worked together on many projects. It will continue to function as a show case of our work under its name.
5.15.10 - I have just wrapped up a website for a Twin Cities Home Remodeling Company Pro Vision Construction. The build was smooth and the client was very pleased. It is the first project completed under my new web design company, PixelRobotic.com

5.5.09 - Putting the final touches on a dynamic site for Patrick McGoverns, a local bar in St. Paul. I am creating this one from scratch using the php framework Codeigniter.
1.1.09 - Currently working with Snap Fitness to develop some nice flash design pieces. I am also working on several more Drupal sites for some medical industries. I have already completed one Drupal site for a industrial company.
12.17.08 - Been very busy lately working full-time for one of my long time clients thisClicks.com. Handling many tasks from PHP, Flash, Flex, FMS, and Drupal projects. Still doing freelance projects here and there on a limited basis. Just completed a complex social gaming system in flex for battlebegins.com using FMS to allow players to bet real money, chat, create games, make friends etc. Also working a lot with Snap Fitness on some of their branding.
5.20.08 - I have started the preliminary discussions on a three month large scale flash / flex / media server project (right in time for summer). I have also completed redesigning my homepage as a wordpress theme but have not had the time to put it up yet. I am going to try to find the time to write tutorials and thoughts about new media technologies, while keeping up with my work log. It should be up within the month.
4.29.08 - For the Last week and a half I started and completed development on a Drupal based site for a local bar and grill. I like to use Drupal for some dynamic sites for rapid development, depending on the complexity. This site features a uploadable video section with an IP based rating system, and prizes for the best entries. It also has a photo gallery, dynamic flash header with photos and text, and custom dynamic specials section.
3.15.08 - Keeping very busy lately helping out an local advertising agency downtown with their HTML email campaigns.
2.15.08 - Been spending my time working on several sites for a web and flash design firm in the Twin Cities.
10.08.07 - Currently working on a large flash project for a local company. Built with a customized content management system to allow the company to control its content and widgets. It also uses an RSS feed for current news, and several other dynamic widgets.
9.18.07 - Completed a project for a local record company using php5 and fckeditor to allow them to manage as well as style their content without knowing any html.
8.16.07 - Just finished up a project for a local mortgage company. I was asked to build out several banners, and a landing page. This landing page also includes some audio clips that can be started by the user to listen to radio advertisements. The landing page also includes full site monitoring / tracking, and even has a live chat system, that I was able to integrate with flash. I also included a floating layer to allow the site operators to proactively invite current site viewers to a chat session. This entire project was created in one day. I will soon be starting on a large site for the same company, when I am finished with the current Drupal site for another local real estate company.
8.14.07 - Just completed a couple real estate web sites using xhtml and CSS, with a flash introduction. I am currently working on the final fixes and server side communication for the flash stormtracker projects. Also started work on a Drupal web site for another local real estate company.
6.28.07 - I have been juggling a few projects lately, but am just finishing most of them off. My current projects include the final touches of a complex flash based simulation called planner that will let young students plan a course of action for a simulated hurricane. I am also adding to a PHP form I created for a large company, Retail Construction. It connects to a SQL Server back end and includes several AJAX features. They include a duplication check alert, auto populating combo boxes for Countries, States and Cities, and several edit in place components.
6.22.07 - I have just completed a flash micro site for a travel company that features animated transitions, a slide show of features for their new web product, and a professional video overlay of a presenter talking about the product shot by thisClicks. I also just completed a custom flash video player with a play list for a local company called Ghost, that specializes in 3d animation. I will post some screen shots on my showcase in a bit.
6.15.07 - I have completed adding more advanced tracking functionality to the Resorts And Lodges banners / media viewers I developed using a tracking system called omniture. It was just a day project, but fun working with my old co-workers again at Travelnet. For the next couple days I will be working on a flash based micro site for Carlson Wagonlit Travel with video overlay. It will not be showen in my showcase as it was designed by Spyglass Creative and they use legal contracts to prevent that, but if you ask I can tell you more about it.
6.13.07 - Putting the final touches on the second portion of the Jason Project called Planner. This part of the simulation allows the student to make allocations and decisions for a chosen city during a hurricane simulation. These simulations are based on satellite images and CSV data feed in and combined with xml to create an engaging learning experience. I will post a quick demo when it is complete much like the tracker demo already in the showcase.
5.25.07 - I've started work on the second phase of an ambitious flash based project for the JASON project called Storm Planner. The first phase I've already completed. It allows students to track and predict a hurricane based on actual weather data. The second phase allows a second student to remotely make plans for a specific city based on the other students tracking. I will post again when its complete.
4.1.07 - Been too busy to post lately. I've been doing a good amount of work for a local company thisClicks.com. Anyway I've been putting some final modifications to the JASON project, after being reviewed by schools around the area. I have also completed a few sites and PHP Apps for thisClicks and local independent business owners. I should start having a little more free time soon, so I can take on any new projects you have in mind. I've also been meaning to continue playing more with FLEX and Red5.
12.06.06 - Its been a busy month for me working with my old employer helping to get out their new site, and juggling a few other projects as well. Now that all that is winding down I am hoping I can spend some much needed time on getting my hands dirty with some FLEX and PHP development. However I always have my eyes open to new projects so feel free to contact me with any ideas.
11.10.06 - For this last month I have been working with my previous employer as a consultant to help them meet their multimedia goals, and to help the developers get their new site out the door with a short development schedule. (http://www.resortsandlodges.com) I have been helping with their CSS, PHP, and flash. I will be posting examples of my work when the project is complete. It should be ready around the 18th of Nov.
10.12.06 - I've been working with Fuzzy Duck, located in the Twin Cities, on various projects. I am also due to work with my last company (Travelnet Solutions) as a consultant on their flash video and expanding banner projects.
9.14.06 - I am currently in the thick of contract work. Main project I am working on currently is a ASP .NET site of my own.

8.27.06 - My hosting server went down so until I can see what's still around, and backup what I have bear with me. I will have some time to restore after the end of this month (August). This site is going to go thru some major modifications, as it is over 3 years old now. Please stay tuned.
8.21.06 - I have been working in the Twin Cities lately with Travelnet Solutions, developing a massive php project that will allow their customers to run their resorts completely online. however, I have decided that starting in Sept. I will be pursuing several freelance projects to sustain me, while I work on a few projects of my own.
