05.29.06 migrated the newest of the wrestling columns on over to the 411 page, and if you'd rather check out something a bit less testosterone-y, might i suggest visiting this page, where you can see my first attempts at putting together a website for a friend and coworker of mine. if she digs it, then be on the lookout for further updates as i land a full-time webmaster gig in addition to this little corner of the web universe -- not to mention the potential deal i've got lined up with those kind folks from development. oh yeah, and i'm currently in the process of teaching myself flash 8.0, so who knows? maybe i'm a real web designer boy after all! rock & roll. -jm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 05.21.06 new and improved development t shirts are up and running if you check out this page. and if you're using internet explorer, look to the address bar of the page in the link above and you'll also note that i've finally gotten the hang of that tricky art of creating a favicon (click that link and presto! see the little cardinal face in the address bar? pretty cool, eh?). just another chapter in my ever-expanding book of nerd knowhow. anyway, browse those shirt ideas and let me know what you think! or, if you're a wrestling fan - hop on over to the 411 page and feel free to check out my pinch-hit news column. good times! rock & roll. -jm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 05.18.06 wow, things have been crazy backed up. on the bright side? making some good headway on the university development / athletics t (look for more designs monday), and i've hammered out two more stories in the past week (check the cua link and the 411 page to see them). even better news - this site looks to have nabbed me my first freelance job as a web designer, which should be an awesome venture if things go according to plan! plenty more soon, but enjoy the stories till then... rock & roll. -jm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 05.10.06 still no word back from university development yet, but my younger brother and i are seriously kicking around some "big time" ideas for a site expansion / migration in the months to come. should be good times, and i'll keep y'all posted, but in the mean time - here's another wrasslin' column for your weekly fix of "meeThinks." rock & roll. -jm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 05.03.06 hey all. two new columns added from 411mania this morning, so if you're a wrasslin' fan - feel free to hop on over to the 411 page and check those suckers out! in other news, the folks from development are still voting on those proposed designs for the athletics shirt, so if you haven't already taken a gander at those designs, feel free to do so and shoot me your feedback on that as well! rock & roll. -jm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 04.27.06 ok, so all of the prospective designs for the university development/athletics t shirt are up and ready for any feedback y'all might have. the front designs are numbered (#'s 1-12) and the rear designs are lettered (a-l), so hop on over here and pick your favorite number and letter combination. no need to keep with 1A, 2B, 3C or anything like that - feel free to mix and match at your discretion! just two notes though - 1) we're going to *need* to make sure "say your prayers" appears on the shirt SOMEWHERE, and 2) you can choose from either the *red* shirts or the *black* ones, but please don't pick a front design from one color and a back design from the other. that'd make my life thoroughly confusing... rock & roll. -jm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 04.26.06 check this out - the site's only been up and running for one week's time and already i've landed my first freelance design job! so cool! i've been tapped to hammer out a t-shirt for the university development office in conjunction with a school-wide spirit campaign for those kind folks over at athletics. the slogan they're looking to incorporate is "say your prayers" (get it? catholic school - prayers? har har...) so needless to say, i've been designing up a storm. head on over to this page and send me your feedback on what i've come up with so far. rock & roll. -jm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 04.24.06 ok, so i fooled around with a bunch of concept designs that i had lying around and i hammered out a series of prospective t-shirt logos for catholic's athletics office. some of them obviously won't work, but i've included them just the same so you can see where my head was at in the creative process. head on over to this page and lemme know what you think, deal? rock & roll. -jm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 04.23.06 hey cool - the music page is all kinds of up and running now (complete with the option to view *both* the band's original site *and* just the lyrics by themselves), so i'm pretty happy with the way things turned out. give a look on over there and let me know what you think, yes? rock & roll. -jm ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 04.22.06 five new t-shirt designs added this afternoon. still working the kinks out of this thing, but all in all i'd say it's turning out quite nicely. hoping to re-launch the music page by tomorrow afternoon - so check back for that! rock & roll. -jm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 04.21.06 welcome to my online home. pretty snazzy, eh? feel free to browse the site at your leisure, and check back frequently for regular updates! rock & roll. -jm
