Believe me, I am a Web designer. The reason why this page looks so odd is because you're viewing it in a browser that doesn't support Cascading Style Sheet positioning. It doesn't work in particularly old browsers. However, if you scroll down, you'll find all my content. Don't let this site fool you, I've designed plenty of sites that work in older browsers, this was just my first step towards what is the future of Web design.

Sanctioned vigilantism?

Great idea, not!

How about the next two times my students answers a question wrong, I warn them. And then the next time, I’ll shoot them for not knowing.

Or after warning a restaurant two times about not getting my order right, I trash the place and set it on fire.

This is one of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard of.

We have a system, last time I checked, for dealing with criminal behavior in this country, it’s called the courts.

Grrrrr!

Yes, I’m still alive

Though you might not think so, given the dearth of posts.

However, I’ve revamped the design of my print and Web portfolio pages.

It’s still CSS, but now the text does not wrap underneath the thumbnails, the thumbnails have increased in size, and I’ve added more clips to both sections. I also created a neat-o-keen PHP script that creates a page on the fly for all of my print clips. I never liked linking directly to images, but didn’t want to have an XHTML page for each clip.

Did I mention I’m looking for a job?

I’m going to be updating my resume soon and I’ll try to keep a running log of how the job hunt goes, for those that are interested.

And I promise to start commenting on Web design, journalism, etc. soon.

I’m currently working on my thesis and teaching J310, advanced editing and design, at MU, and between those two tasks and the run-up to my job hunt, I’ve been a bit busy.
