One feature of the dcshoes.com website is that on all the sport pages (skate, auto, moto…) and all the athlete pages (rob dyrdek, chris cole, travis pastrana, etc…) is that in the WHAT’S UP section, there are blocks of photos and text. What many people don’t realize is that this is an update to date…

New Site – DC Shoes – Unilite Trainer
This is going to be the first of many. I’m going to start showcasing some of the work that I do. Granted, I’ve done A LOT of development, but my 1 or 2 readers may get a kick out of it. I’m also going to be keeping a local copy of the sites that I…
A Developers (my) thoughts on Flash
Throughout my life, I’ve loved Adobe’s (err, Macromedias) Products. I can remember back in 6th grade when I was first getting into web development that I had no idea what the difference between Shockwave and Flash was. I had no idea how the web, which at the time was ancient as hell (see www.archive.org and…
Global IP List
Part of development that is fun yet tricky is developing for a global audience. For dcshoes.com, we are having 1 single site address (www.dcshoes.com) that will act differently according to the location of the user (and language too, but I wont get into that). At some point in time, a developer must deploy some code…
New Website – Cabo Chips
I realized I forgot to post about a new website launch so I shall do it now. I designed and developed a website for my buddy, Christian Bunte, who runs Cabo Chips. They are DELICIOUS. If anyone likes chips, then they will love these. Anyways, the site was fun to make and I hope you…
Regular Website. Mobile Website. Now Leanback website?
Over the weekend I received a Google TV from Google (thank you). The model I got is the Logitech Revue. First and foremost, the thing is awesome as hell. It’s basically like a computer, using your monitor as the display. Past efforts like web TV have failed because using a TV as a monitor doesn’t…
A slow website makes me want to kill myself: Update
I don’t know about you guys, but *I hate when* loads REALLY REALLY slow when it comes to Drupal websites. I’ve tried everything in the book and it’s still slow. I’ve turned on Zend Optimizer, increased mem limits, the works. UPDATE: I think it was something just periodically because everything is running better now (maybe…
New Year. New CMS.
Without giving anythng away, it seems like my 2011 will consist a lot of a new Content Management System called eZ Publish. I’m familiar with a lot of CMS’s but I will have to admit that I am not familiar with this one. The best part is, that doesn’t detract me, it only makes me…
I’ve never fully understood how hard writing content is
In my journey create my website, 949 Development, there’s one obstacle that has taken me much longer to do that I initially anticipated: Writing Content. You know, how when you go to a website and you see phrases like,”We here at [Company Name] work for you!” and things like, “For over 40 years, [Company Name]…
Your Blog Will Die…Hopefully Mine Won’t
As a developer, I have seen and made many blogs. I’ve seen how they start, how they are grow, how they are maintained, and how they die. It’s the same, every single time. If you have had a blog and it is now dead, you can read on and agree. If you have a current…
