GBM Site

// August 2nd, 2007 // View Comments // All, Technology, Web stuff

I FINALLY finished the GBM website. Although as time goes by, little tweaks here and there find their way to my desk. This site has kind of a web 2.0 feel with the solid colors, transparent windows, and striped bottom. I’m still using flash, as I am continuing to learn CSS, HTML, Java, and other such things. Eventually, I would love to move away from a flash site altogether. But right now, that is what I know.

I got an invitation to join “pownce,” the new social networking community of Kevin Rose (founder of Digg.com) and friends. So far, it’s kind of like Twitter and social “sharing” of things lke URLs, files, and common events. I think it has great potential as a collaborative tool, and I definitely see it as being in it’s “infant” stages of learning to walk. I think the minds behind it have great ideas, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store.

No more SVP

// July 20th, 2007 // View Comments // All, Technology, Web stuff

After many months of evaluating and managing, I have decided to discontinue the use of the Synapse Visual Productions name. While I will continue to do contracted web work, I will no longer be doing it under the umbrella of SVP.

It all boiled down to the fact that with my job and ministry load (the latter of which hasn’t been much, but still), that I need to focus more time and energy on these things. Outside web work and design will continue under the tmazon.com name for now. It has been a fun and educational ride. I shall definitely miss it.

I did it again…

I know, I know, I said I wouldn’t do it. I tried really hard not to. But I just couldn’t help it. Things can get a little busy in my life…and they did again. So what did I do? I haven’t posted in almost 3 months. 3 months of nothing. Did I fall off of the planet? Did I lost internet for 3 months? What…has happened…

To put it simply…I have become busy yet again. April saw a lot of time working on a new site for Pastor Connie, and beginning development on Pastor Berteau’s new website. Both of those have become major projects in themselves.

Do you Twitter?

// March 20th, 2007 // View Comments // All, Personal, Technology, Web stuff

Twitter. A global community of friends and strangers answering one simple question: What are you doing? Answer on your phone, IM, or right here on the web!

Heard about this on a podcast…It basically let’s the world know what I am doing. Do I care? Do I want the world to know what I am doing 24/7? Well, not necessarily…but I can see how something like this can be attractive to teens.

Teenagers are always looking for attention, for their voice to be heard, to be noticed. While I myself may not be into Twitter much, I can only imagine the countless number of teens that would take advantage of such a thing. Plus, it’s kind of a great way to get deeper into the minds of teenagers.

I’m gonna give it a spin for a bit, see how I like it.

Synapse

// August 9th, 2006 // View Comments // All, Personal, Technology, Web stuff

Part of the move from my previous web hosting provider to the new one caused my business site, synapsevisual.com to go offline for a few days. Last night the domain completed the transfer, and I was able to post it on the new server as well. Part of that inspired me to start working on a new design for the site, since it was “coming soon” since 2004.

I’ll keep the flash as the primary format, but I’ll add some more things to it as I see fit. I have learned a lot about flash and other web design methods since those days.
