Okay so not really a customer, and not really happy, but certainly a fan of my web design skills!
“Daniel Hertz designed CMW’s website, which even the group’s critics note is professional in appearance, certainly above average for a student group that only came into existence two semesters ago.”

I came across a post on Techcrunch today regarding a sneak peak at RIM’s new Blackberry OS 6. Seeing as the Blackberry’s operating system hasn’t actually changed in the past few years, I was kind of excited. Maybe I would switch back once again to a Blackberry and return to the glorious days of obnoxiously pinging my friends. Maybe RIM had finally created some legitimate competition to the sleek and intuitive iPhone OS.
Then I watched the video… (more…)
Surpise!
Surpize! And here’s my new website! And as you can tell from reading my last post, I had to completely scrap the other idea of me holding up the site. Yes, it was a really awesome design, but the navigation and dropping-page code made the site less user friendly than I thought. The negatives? You don’t get to constantly see a picture of me when you spend your entire day on my site. The positives? You get a much more fluid and easier-to-read version of my site. Let me know what ya think!
So I began my switch from prototype to jQuery several weeks ago, and it has been awesome. I have already made some pretty neat pages with it and some cool new features I learned have inspired me to revamp my current website. Soooooo, I am in the process of designing and coding a new site that is radically different from the current version. My new site will focus around social media and my hobbies, including facebook, twitter, and flickr. I am working with all three of these API’s and plan on making, what I think, is a very new and unique browsing experience. I don’t wanna give too much away right now, but Ill post a draft mock-up of the new homepage. I’ll post some progress of my work as I get things done, so keep checking me feeds.
I completely forgot about this video I made when I applied for the internship position at Poke last summer. I wish all jobs took video resumes like them; I somehow find it easier to spend a night making a funny 3 minute video with some friends then writing a short cover letter. I didn’t end up accepting the offer to work there, but who knows what might happen in the future! Either way, these guys are awesome, and they are looking for more interns this summer. So start making videos!
