Rocket surgery has nothing on immunobiology and proteomics. With over 100,000 products, in a dozen categories, and the most complex set of product attributes and filters I’ve ever had the honor of untangling, the Novus Biological website was a textbook case of Information Architecture challenges…

Behold: Sausage!
Wow. We’ve done it. We’ve opened our show. What a rush!
After a hell week that went surprisingly well, we had energy aplenty for opening. The cast was on fire, lots of friends and family in the audience, and the show rocked! It’s 90 minutes of pure seat-of-your-pants craziness, both on-stage and off. I screwed up [...]

Max is an old and true friend, and I was delighted to get him set up with a good starter site. 
Max is also a keen geek, so I decided against putting a layer of abstraction, such as a CMS or blogging platform, between him and his code. Instead I tried to build good code. I [...]

Third version of the Department of Redundancy Department’s website, this time using Wordpress. Wordpress is a beautiful piece of software, highly discoverable… of course, it’s targeted at geeks, but I think it broadens the target a bit.
For the DRD’s site, I chose a simple theme, and tweaked the typography. Videos will be hosted on YouTube, [...]

A whopper of a project!
I was able to set a good direction on the information architecture, and to keep everyone committed to a more-or-less standard navigation scheme. There was little I could do to influence the tone and tenor of the copy, but I did help cut down the marketese to a manageable level. In [...]

This tool is aimed at targeting outreach and marketing efforts to the right populations of high-school students, to maximize recruitment success.
In technical terms, it’s a statistical analysis tool. Likelihood to [...]

This is an interesting set of Flash movies. The directions to the hospital are animated, and the campus map features zooming in to the different floors.
Not exactly earth-shaking stuff, but I did try to go a bit past the paper metaphor, and exploit some of the capabilities of animated media. A bigger budget could have [...]

Ahem… Sorry about the overly pompous title on this post… “Depth of Vision”, a flash presentation, is a nice little piece I developed, pretty much on my own, to showcase Immedient’s solution offering. Not much budget behind [...]

Spent a couple of days overhauling the Colorado Midwives Association’s website, for my friend Dana Beardshare. Dana and Jan were our midwives, and the genuine love they poured into caring for my wife and I [...]

Today we released the new USA.NET website, designed by yours truly. I’m pretty happy with it. I initially set the vision for a fully flash-based, dynamic website. Flash today is not a dynamic tool, but using [...]
