is where THE GRAPHIC DESIGNER talks about things. Like web design. And icons. And egg rolls.
You might find no useful information at all.
But I know you will read on like a true champion.
You can even go back to the homepage if you really desire it.

Update: you can!
This is a several-step kind of tutorial, and you’ll need a few tools:
Once you have all the tools, proceed to Step One.
Quoit is a small, lightweight PHP-based quotes database. Install is slightly less user-friendly than normal, but it’s nothing terribly drastic–just edit config.php to point to your database and access http://yoursite.com/quoit/setup.php to set up the tables. Once you’ve installed, you’ll need to delete or rename setup.php since users can potentially alter your database tables and create alternative admin accounts by running setup again. I tried to minimize the risk there, but nothing is foolproof.
There’s very little UI-based control over Quoit from an administration standpoint. There’s a link to delete a quote of your choosing (visible only to admins, of course) and that’s about it. If you want to make another user an admin, change the “level” field in their row in your database to 4. (To be honest there are only two user levels, represented by 1 and 4, but I wanted to keep my options open.)
There’s also no easy way to change your password. This will be coming in a future release, once I’m not sick of the sight of opening and closing processing instructions.
Enjoy! Download is here.

It’s a project I’m working on with Flavio Premoli and Bryen Yunashko. Phanet is basically a feed aggregator that needs a revamp (which is what I’m here for). You can check it out–figuratively or literally–on github.
I’m running a demo of Phanet, complete with what is hopefully the new default theme, right here.
Also, Phanet appears to add posts only when its sources are updated, so this post serves debug purposes as well.
occurred (briefly) earlier today when I accidentally deleted my entire Wordpress database. Fortunately bluehost keeps biweekly backups.
Minn is back, and it’s better than ever. With a new, original (I think) three-column layout that uses floats instead of absolute positioning, Minn will fill any browser window to the fullest and maximize your reading experience!
Tested in modern browsers. &c &c.
I had loads of fun with this one. One of the prettiest mockups I’ve ever created nearly ruined by the fact that it’s completely un-layout-able. I was able to get around that, though! (Except not for IE6. Cue heart attack.) And now it’s finished in all its glory, ready and waiting to burnish the face of your website to a mirror shine.
XHTML 1.0 and CSS3 valid.
Tested in IE8, Firefox 3.5, Opera 9/10, and Safari 4.
