I cooked up a fun experiment using HTML5/CSS3 for the holidays. I call it Snowfall. It s a screenful of falling snow for your enjoyment. If you re a huge nerd like me and a big fan of Star Wars, you can also use a special alternate set of snowflakes borrowed from Anthony Herrera s set of Star [...]
I made some long-needed updates to my portfolio page. I love getting stuff like that off my plate. I ve also been working on making my Resume mobile-friendly using Media Queries.
