I spent the night updating the source code to my portfolio project.  This new version is broken out into a much easier to understand architecture than the previous version.  I have also went through and commented a lot of the functionality, but at some point I would like to go back and make sure I […]

I have been receiving a lot of e-mails lately regarding the release of my portfolio source code.  I still haven’t had time to clean it up, but I have decided to just post it out here anyway.  There may be unused methods and classes and even some debug trace statements strewn about the code but […]

A few weeks ago I posted my online portfolio. I casually tweeted about it and mentioned it to some friends on Facebook. After some tweeks, I’ve decided to post it on my blog for the world to see. I’d like to eventually make the source code available, but it will definitely require some cleanup as […]

I have seen some really neat stuff materializing already: Evtim’s WheelLayout and FlowLayout, Andrew Trice’s CircularLayout, and Ryan Campbell’s collection of […]

I have made some modifications to my cube experiment so I thought I’d share them.  In this version I have added Z support for the random position of cubes, as well as the “Chatoic” rotations and movements.  Using any of the normal rotate functions you will get a single rotation in Y, using a chaotic […]

I spent my Memorial Day evening setting up a PaperVision 3D project to serve as a demo for a customer and I just so happened to save the project as I was getting the basics implemented.  I thought it would make a perfect blog post for those just getting started with PV3D. The project covers […]

I haven’t posted in a while so I thought I’d take a second and post something that I’ve been working on for BuildingLogix.  Over the last six months we have worked closely with a partner in Pennsylvania to develop a dashboard for campus of office buildings in the Philadelphia area.   The dashboard is created entirely in […]
