A site for supporters of a local Children's Theatre to make reservations (or donations) for their annual fundraising gala.  The look is based on Save the Date cards designed by my wife, Laura.

This was my first time incorporating Paypal into a site, and I have to say that working with their developers center was pure unencrypted bliss.

I've been up to my ears in regular expressions lately, and although it's not the worst thing to be up to your ears in, I still like to ease my pain when I can.  So I put together this regex test page in an effort to do just that.  Unfortunately, I spent enough time building it that ultimately my pain was probably not eased in the least. But it still has the chance to ease yours, and that's what I'm all about.  That and Rockin' out.

It's actually pretty cool, and mostly unbreakable (read: I'm ok with the way it breaks).  To use it, enter your pattern in the "pattern" field and a bit of text to test it on in the "subject" field (or you can enter an url from which to retrieve text in the "get subject from url" field), and hit the "test pattern" button.  If your pattern comes up with any matches (full or sub expressions), you can highlight them with the fruit flavored buttons in the "highlight matches" field.

Mozilla users get extra added functionality of navigating between between matches that the IE version doesn't have.  Actually replace Mozilla users with all non-IE users.  I haven't tested it on any other browsers, though, so if it doesn't work on your favorite, let me know.  I'll feel slightly worse about myself and probably do nothing to fix it.

Spidernaut has a place in the hills that he feels like he hasn't been spending enough time at, FutureMan is planning on opening up his own sweet shoppe somewhere in Old Town(e), and Dead Artist just wants to sleep.  The Thief in the background, bitter that his concept never made the cut in the first place, snuck into the picture unannounced (as thieves tend to do).

The upshot of all this is that I decided to release them from their contracts and redesign the site.  In the process I cleaned up the html and stylesheets that had, over a year or two of incremental changes, turned into a rickety old code jalopy.  The original design (with the help of some cheap stand ins) can still be found here.

My own online photo gallery system.  Built in PHP with a MySql back end, it's all about speed and versatility.  You can have multiple galleries (groupings of photos) which themselves can be grouped together under albums.  It has a commenting system, templates, and the tools to administer it all.  But best of all, getting images into galleries is a piece of cake.  All you have to do is use an ftp program (smartftp for windows is awesome and free) to drag and drop your images into the appropriate folder.  Thumbs are generated automatically, and the newly updated photo shows up right where it should.  You can download it if you're interested in trying it out.  Requires PHP 4.3.8 or greater and MySql 4.0.20 or greater.

An enhancement of the original Student Media Center page.

A music review site I designed that unfortunately is no more.  The frontpage included this little headache inducing gem.

My design (in HTML) for a proposed early elementary component of our product. Note the toxic green smog that the candy-like math machine is pumping out. Evil mathematicians...
