Baseball meets Drupal ... again. During Christmas 2007, Jon Springer contacted after moving his site -- a catalog of every uniform number worn by every player -- from Wordpress to Drupal. I helped him out with a number of administrative and theming issues. But the best part was the challenge of Drupalizing his very primitive database of uniform numbers. Using Views, CCK, a number of helper modules, and some good ol' trial-and-error, however, we were able to create some slick rosters (by player name and uniform number).

I worked with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee for several years, consulting with them on a number of tech issues. I convinced them to move their static site to drupal. I also aided them in choosing an application service provider (Convio). And I helped UUSC find the developer who built the site.

I can't take credit for the UUSC site. But hats off to Lightbulb First and JM Designs for putting together a great site. [More info]

Creating the IES site was a great experience. It tested my PHP, SQL, and CSS skills. But I learned much more about client relations, information architecture, data migration, Python (to help with the migration), SEO, and teaching people to write for the web (if not always succeeding). The subject matter is pretty intriguing as well.

Ahhh. The first site that I created 100% on my own. Genuine Love -- a Red Sox blog born in 2004 -- which has gone through countless iterations (and raised a decent amount of cash for me). It's now returning to its roots; we're slowly getting rid of the ads and recently gave it a look -- black and white, vertical rhythm -- which was inspired in no small part by, among others, the great Koi Vinh.
