Site Network:

Yay the Mind website finally launched!

The Mind website just launched.

This was a project I worked on for 4 years at the Exploratorium -- developing web/kiosk interactives and some physical exhibits. (Though I must say...I never want to go back to the days of making sites under 800px wide and it hurts to look at any site that isn't in Drupal!)

 

New theme released for Omeka 0.9

Here is a theme I worked on for the Omeka platform in conjunction with UC Berkeley's Open Knowledge and the Public Interest department, with Noah Wittman. This theme will make it a lot easier for people with less web experience (or less time) to create a visually rich web experience. It was totally fun to work on!

makin' modules with other people rules!!

A few weeks ago, I attended a code sprint. This code sprint had the goal of enhancing Drupal taxonomy (core and contributed) modules in a way that will make it possible for scientists to import massive quantities of taxonomic information about all of the different species on this planet.
 
I would like to share this experience of group module development, especially with DrupalChix! So I wrote this article

 

Theming CCK - presentation and materials

Learn about theming CCK fields

For DrupalDaze, I started putting together some materials for learning about theming CCK fields.

Here it is...

 

What's that green thing? That's a spruce needle

Someone asked me if that picture was of a zucchini! :)

It's actually a spruce needle. There is a very very tall Norway Spruce outside my house. In the dead of winter, I decided to paint it. So, it's the needle, but magnified a lot.
More pictures

The classes I take are at the Minnesota School of Botanical Art...

 

Doing a class at DrupalDaze!

I will be giving a presentation about theming CCK fields at DrupalDaze, this coming Sunday.

 

More on using Drupal 6.2

I managed to add a bunch of pages about my own projects with Drupal 6 in a very short time. Drupal 6 is pretty swift.

The only serious problem is still that Views is still beta..I will experiment with this and let you all know how it goes.

 

My Resume

An older version of my resume...the only differences being:
I now work at the Science Museum of Minnesota on the Disease Detectives Website as well as the NISE network.
I attended DrupalCon, Museums and the Web, MN.swf camp.
