So a couple of weeks ago at the Endless Knot Arts Festival, I screened my short film, The Case.
Since I know not all of you were able to make it to the screening, I have made it available online as part of Streetfrog Productions at www.streetfrogproductions.com/thecase
The Case was a collaboration between my friend and creative partner Jonathan Clancy.
Enjoy, and let me know what you think
I worked over the weekend on updating my site and here it is.
(no link, you’re looking at it)
Basically I loaded WordPress on the root of my site, styled it to look exactly like my site previously did, and took all my XHTML pages and converted them to WordPress pages.
I did lose a couple of things along the way, including the naming of my HTML pages: ex) previously “portfolio.html” now replaced by “?page_id=19,” etc. I did, however, set up redirects on all of the previously used pages.
Also, after importing my old subdirectory blog content to my new parent directory blog, I decided to delete the old content, for fear that Google would penalize me for double posting my articles. As a result though, I have disrupted my indexed ranking when searched on Google.
In the grand scheme of things, I think these minor sacrifices now, are better for long term expansion and recognition; as SEO friendly as I am, Worpress helps quite a bit.
Hey there.
Today I’m rebuilding my site, so you may notice some temporary differences, but if all goes accordingly, it should be back to normal in a few hours.
The rest of my links should work fine so feel free to check out my portfolio or additional info.
Thanks for stopping by and sorry for any inconvenience.

So, per a friend’s suggestion (way to go Mizo), I tried out Firefox’s add on, Personas.
When I first set it up I really wanted to like it, I mean who doesn’t like cartoon robots invading a city.
The reality, however, is that it creates a visual paradox for any user viewing a web page with any bit of creative design. Think of the common window metaphore on a computer; when you open a browser window, it allows the user to view into a space (through the window) of indefinite depth only limited by designer who has set it up.
Now take that field of depth and wrap it in a browser frame, which, with personas has its own field of depth contradictory to the field of depth within the window. It appears as though these two seperate elwments should be in the same realm of visual reality, but they’re not.
Plus it makes tabs hard as hell to read because it fades them out and blends them into the the background.
