The new NissanUSA.com went live on June 26, 2008!!
Complete new architecture, built from the ground up in AS 2.0 using OOPs philosophy. Less weight then previous version, intelligent deep linking, and flash back forward. This site was made for scalability and easy maintenance.
cowcrossing.com is now live! After 3 months in development. It was a simple site, but the time consuming part was that this was the first site done in AS 3.0 for me. I read the”essential actionscript 3.0″ book by colin moock, but its whole different story reading the concepts vs actual development.
It does not have everything I wanted to incorporate (e.g. animated cows) but I had to get something up to start job my job hunting.
The site tries to use OOPs methodology as much as possible, using document class and MVC design pattern, but still uses a mixture of time line animation and and frame based logic.
This was more experimental then anything else, and this gives me the confidence to stick with AS 3.0 for all future projects.
Ah…, finally cooked the perfect steak last night. The transition from charcoal grilling to gas grilling is complete. Let me show you my secret arsenal.
What you see is the grilling bible, timer, instant read digital thermometer, and a new rub we found at costco.
See thumbs below for closer look at the rub:
Say good bye to the old weber charcoal grill. Hello new gas grill. Here is a picture of its initial assembly. Only took 4 hours to build. The brand is Char-broil, and it only cost $299.00 at lowes. A lot cheaper then weber gas grill which cost 600 for a comparable model.
This actually hooks up to the homes natural gas line. So no need to worry about running out of LP gas, or running out to get it filled back up. Supposed to be cheaper too but we’ll see about that.
Hey look, found another old pic of me in the army 15 years ago. Don’t worry, that helicopter isnt really flying. hahaha….
Found an old pic of me and my car 10 or 15 years ago. What you see there is a 90′ vw corrado G60. Powered by a 1.8 4cyl supercharged engine. Deleiverling an amazing 160 horses. Not as impressive as the rear spoiler that raised as speeds over 45mph. Still one of the best looking cars ever designed 2nd to a 90′ ZX.
My company host the annual christmas party for the staff with kids. This year brought in my two daughters to meet and receive presents from santa. As you can see, the older one was more excited by it then the younger.
Finally got the home office set up. I will be starting on my portfolio web site soon for cowcrossing.com. Check back for my announcement of its launch.
Whoo hoo… after many months on the project, we finally launched www.nissanusa.com.
Check out the bulletin board I set up for the first time.
It is running the most popular phpBB. I have no idea what the topic will be or who will ever come use it, but it was fun setting it up. Hopefully, it can be used in the future for some good cause.
