With this example we’re taking a look at having randomly changing color. I liked the limits to the color in the last post, but couldn’t help myself and wanted to see it with the full range of colors to command. Also, I wasn’t a huge fan when the color would “wrap” and jump from one [...]
After seeing the source code in the original experiment, I found myself wanting to play with the code. I saw many elements of the lines and actions that could be interesting to explore. This is the first in a series, of experiments I’ll post starting from this code and pushing different things each time. They’ll [...]
The world has been excited by html5/css3 recently and has been pushing limits and experimenting. It’s been exciting and funny at the same time – most of the things that are amazing people in html5 experiments have been done 5 years ago in flash. I’ve enjoyed it so much though because it has brought me [...]
I’ve been busy hardening and improving my video player lately and had so many updates for it I decided to upload it to activeden as a new file altogether. After some final bug fixes and testing it’s been approved for sale. I think it’s a huge improvement over the last video player. The video playing [...]
Not just a redesign but a whole new site and location! After having built loads of sites for clients/friends I kept learning things I wanted to employ on my own site, but the cobblers kids are always barefoot right? I kept implementing new things and knew that they were making my clients lives easier and [...]
My latest stock flash video player of mine was just added to the database of stock flash items at activeDen. Go check it out and if you like it, download it for use in your projects! I’ve got lots in it for you. I’m using the principles I used as the architect for the video [...]
I’ve joined Cornerstone Media Group of Atlanta as the Senior Web Designer and Front-End coder! A bit stale as far as news goes, I’m going on 6 months already. The reason I bring it up now is that we’ve just relaunched our website. This new look is not just about new appearances and aesthetics, it [...]
I’ve written a tutorial which is published over at flash.tutsplus. This tutorial demonstrates how to create a horizontally scrolling image viewer and covers xml parsing, loading and resizing external images, and creating intuitive and responsive scrolling!
So check out the Tutorial to Create a Responsive Image Scroller [...]Here are my slides for my WordCamp Atlanta presentation, From PSD to WordPress Theme: Under the skin: PSD to WP on Prezi

Zero images is something that always gets me excited, I really like these arrow button styles! I like the css used more and the hover/active states too, nice css3 transitions. via Adobe-like Arrow Headers | CSS-Tricks.

Mat discusses the options for getting responsive images along with responsive designs. We can use various means (server-side, client-side, mobile-first, html5 data attributes, cookies…), but none are fully satisfactory, especially with new browsers prefetching images before cookies can be set or html is even fully read and parsed. He states that bandwidth sniffing is… a [...]
Here’s a great article about the process of responsive design & mobile first design and how to practically use them both in a project. This site is a proof of concept for many of the ideas described in Rethinking the Mobile Web or (Mobile First Responsive Design). via Yiibu – About this site….
Here’s a great tool to make responsive grid layouts. Thanks to Erskine Labs! Introducing Gridpak | Erskine Labs.
Here’s a great little script I found useful today as I was working on having dynamic effects applied to javascript via canvas. “The canvas element provides scripts with a resolution-dependent bitmap canvas, which can be used for rendering graphs, game graphics, or other visual images on the fly.” Thanks to the canvas APIs I was [...]
