My Projects

What am I working on?

I keep very busy working on client-related projects, but when I find time to develop for myself, I like to share those projects here.

Earthly WordPress Theme

I developed a theme for WordPress with a green/eco/outdoors feel to it. It uses soft colors and a simple layout so visitors can focus on the content.
Crispp WordPress Theme

Crispp was the first WordPress theme I developed. It incorporates the 2009 design trend of having a “welcome box” right on the homepage. It also comes with an administration panel where the user can specify either a light or dark color scheme.
Du Beau Vin

Du Beau Vin is a personal project of mine. It’s the homepage for my winemaking hobby. Click through to learn more. Sorry, no online ordering!

Dearborn Ultimate

I enjoy playing ultimate frisbee with a group of people in my area. I developed a website for the group that helps us communicate our weekly games to players. The website actually helps bring out a number of new people throughout the course of the season. Feel free to check it out and come throw around a disc with us!

AdLogger

In 2006, I started an open-source project called AdLogger. The primary purpose of AdLogger was to prevent click fraud by keeping track of advertisement clicks by visitors and report suspicious behavior to the website owner. Multiple developers contributed to the code which was ultimately downloaded by over 10,000 website owners. I was happy to create a project that was so widely used and relied upon.
jQuery

For all of my web development projects, my javascript framework of choice is jQuery. I have even written a jQuery plugin that I released under an open-source license and made available to the community. You can check it out here.
WordPress

I have contributed to the WordPress community by sharing my code and knowledge. You can read about my numerous contributions here.
Lilina

Lilina News Aggregator is an open source project where I have contributed a small amount of code and testing. It is written primarily in PHP and compiles RSS feeds into an easy-to-read environment.

Occasionally I do small side projects that turn into something.

Woot! Product RSS Feed

Daily Woot! Feed – I created a special RSS feed that displays the daily product of the popular Woot.com. My version filters out unwanted blog posts to display only products. As an added bonus, it offers full size images instead of the smaller thumb offered through the regular feed.

Just look how many people are using it!
