Recent Goings On
July 21, 2008I never know if that's Goings On or Going Ons. The latter sounds pretty silly so we'll go with Goings On.
Besides the normal every day personal trials and travails that everyone has to deal with and I won't bore you with here, I've been busy with a full load of consulting work in addition to my AccuWeather work. I really need to update the portfolio - or at least my home page - but here's a little of what I've been working on:
State College Evangelical Free Church
This is our church, and I've been working on a new website for a while now. I've had a lot of organizational help from the church, and a capable hand has leant some much needed assistance with the podcasting/mp3s in the messages section. Like all websites it's a work in progress and will continue to grow over the coming months. I'm actually thinking about creating a Facebook tie-in but for now that's on the wish list. Speaking of Facebook, Alert Reader and Sometime Computer Geek/Social Networking Empress Tammy (who may or may not be my wife) actually has a Facebook page! Feel free to add her to your friends list, and leave a message on her "wall." You should be able to find her here.
No Kidding, Me Too!
No Kidding, Me Too! is a nonprofit organization comprised of entertainment industry members designed to educate Americans about mental health issues. It was founded by actor Joe Pantoliano, who has been in a billion (with a "B") movies and television shows. I liked him best as "Cypher" in The Matrix who was (minor spoiler coming look away before it's too late oh no) the baddie on the crew of the Nostromo. MSNBC did a great interview with him here that explains why he's involved in this particular area. I designed the site for the Artemis Group (another agency designed the logo.)
PSU Medieval Technology and American History
I worked with the Artemis Group on this project as well - Penn State received a grant from the NEH as part of the We the People initiative. The site was selected for inclusion on the NEH list of the best online resources for education in the humanities, which is very cool. To put this in perspective, not one ninja made the list, and ninjas are very dangerous, particularly when roused or needled about their garb.
Comments
These are very nice!
Why don't you have credits on the Home or Contact Us pages?
P.S. I found a typo! :-) Sent it in to the designated "contact us" email.
