Over the past month or so I have been redeveloping the website for a small Spanish school in the city of Antigua, Guatemala – Antigua Plaza. I’ve known Ana the owner since the first time I visited Antigua four years ago, and while my wife and I were back in town Ana expressed her interest in […]
NHL.com redesign – First thoughts
Fresh off the All-star break and all of the feel-bad-then-good John Scott stories that came with it, I went searching for my next NHL fix. What game am I going to watch when the regular season continues tomorrow? Low and behold, it looks like the NHL have been hard at work over the weekend to […]
Breaking things down
Daunted by the prospect of many projects sitting incomplete, I’ve found myself lately being pulled in a number of directions. My own personal website, a client project, WordPress plugins & themes that will be used on a number of client projects – although not immediately, helping my wife with our new business venture, and a […]
Centering a full screen background image with CSS
Something I’ve found myself doing a lot of lately is creating websites where I want a single image as the entire page background. All of the page content sits on top, and the image never moves, no matter how much content scrolls down the page. I need it to be responsive and always stay centered, […]

I’m excited to announce that pretty soon I will be set up as a domain name reseller! This will ease the process for setting up brand new clients, as they will be able to purchase their domain through me, and I will then be able to easily configure DNS settings to point to their new […]
AFL 2015 – Round 06 – Bulldogs vs St. Kilda (+ Round 7 preview)
Do I take the blame? Round 6 was the first week that I haven’t been able to watch live, or only a few hours delayed. And I haven’t been able to bring myself to watching it yet. The pain and suffering involved in a loss to St Kilda, and in such devastating fashion, is something […]
AFL 2015 – Round 05 – Bulldogs vs Sydney
One of these days I’m going to stop being surprised by my beloved Bulldogs! Saturday’s game against the Swans showcased everything you could want in a football team. The dogs took every opportunity that came there way in the first quarter, and stifled many of Sydney’s chances with frenetic tackling and defense. They handled the […]
AFL 2015 – Round 04 – Bulldogs vs Adelaide
Wow. What a game, this was just unbelievable. After copping a whack in round 3, I was hopeful that we could put in a good showing against Adelaide, but I have to say that I just didn’t expect a 10 goal win. The weekend started with drama at the selection table. Matthew Boyd, Marcus Bontempelli […]
