AloneAndContent.com

About one year ago I embarked on a very special journey, by accepting what was an exceptionally important project. A project driven by someone I am happy to be acquainted with, who is nothing less than stellar.

Gwenn Voelckers, visionary of AloneAndContent.com, along with her sister Anne Palumbo and graphic designer Kevin Siebert, shared in my excitement today as we celebrated the completion of Gwenn’s site — complete with some bubbly! It is not often that I am privileged to build a site that exhibits true heart and soul . In a world filled with commercialism and consumerism, it is really an oasis to work with a person like Gwenn, dedicated to her masterpiece, Alone and Content — a wonderful canvas of expression and color.

If you have a moment, please visit AloneAndContent.com.

Enjoy.

The new Facebook.com layout sucks.
Friday March 20th 2009, at 10:32 pm

The new Twitter-esque Facebook layout is unpopular among more than 1 million Facebook users. Facebook has failed to realize what originally made itself so popular: that it was a welcomed oasis from the glitter and incessant ramblings of social networks like MySpace. And, paramount, that it was a closed social network open only to college students.

Now Facebook has turned into a place where your mom is friending you, and you’re forced to delete all those sweet pictures of you passed out drunk on the floor, from funneling an entire keg. Now your employers research you first, and your stalkers — well, it’s just super-easy for them to be stalkerish. It’s a place filled with ridiculous applications like “vampire” and “Make a Baby”.

Come on Gen Y, Gen Z, Gen We. Do we need to stoop to these levels?

RochesterSubway.com

Check out http://www.rochestersubway.com, for those of you who live in Rochester. It’s always captured my imagination that Rochester used to have a subway, and it makes me ask a lot of “what ifs”. I have the poster too, and it’s awesome.

jQuery slideToggle() animation jumping and flickering issues
Tuesday January 27th 2009, at 5:29 pm

jQuery’s slideToggle() method is great for creating things like accordions. Unfortunately it seems I am not alone when I say it’s buggy. The sliding animation can flicker and/or appear to jump, depending on the browser and version of jQuery.

After much trial and error, I realized that this problem can be solved by applying an explicit width (with CSS) on the element being animated. The below code is tested and working in IE6, IE7, and FF3. With jQuery 1.2.1, 1.2.3, and 1.3.1.

I hope this saves someone else a few hours.
