Happy Holidays From Titleist

Titleist Holiday Snowman

We all know someone who loves golf (well, you must know me by now, anyway). So how about a little seasonal cheer to remind them how much longer they have to wait until they can get back out on the links.

A quick project we launched last week. So far so good in terms of both client and user reaction.

An Oldie But Goodie: The Lender Blender

Virgin Money Lender Blender

This launched this summer, but my blood, sweat, and tears are all over it. Well, all over the animation and Flash code at least.

About Virgin Money:

Virgin Money helps people access affordable and flexible credit, offering unique financial services and a customer experience that most banks cannot match.

The Lender Blender allows users to calculate how much they’ll save by diversifying loan sources.

Was a good exercise in Flash based web application development. And hey – would you believe it – it was even a finalist for a MITX.

Introducing Barely Concealed Narcissism

Monday, December 29th, 2008

The good news is that this is not a site about self love. Or self loathe. Or making yourself better through any means available.

The bad news is that this site is about me.

This is a place for me to gather and showcase what I do, be it a new site launch, a new video, a solution to a problem I find worth sharing, or just general flotsam and jetsam.

But one cannot provide such miscellany without a hook (or else you have hook-less miscellany, about as good as cheese-less ravioli). As such, I will be establishing a new challenge for myself every month, each revolving around a “self” term:

January: Self Improvement
February: Self Sacrifice
March: Self Preservation
April: Self Affliction
May: Self Indulgence
June: Self Assessment
July: Self Interest
August: Self Contradiction
September: Self Correction
October: Self Control
November: Self Defense
December: Self Reflection

This doesn’t mean every post in that month will revolve around the theme, but hopefully it help keep me in check a bit.

So that’s that. If you have any questions (or recommendations on monthly challenge themes), be sure to bug me here.
