Reflecting Upon Celebration
I started SNL in 1999. I came to DePaul University expending a “normal” learning experience, but I was wrong! The School for New Learning had my name all over it, and I was so motivated by the prospect of eventually having a full-fledged Bachelors Degree in my hands. The idea of being able to learn [...]

One of the requirements for Graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree through DePaul University’s School for New Learning is to write an extensive research paper and provide an artifact that shows competence of your chosen focus area. My focus area is User Experience Design.

Its coming together…
… slowly, but surely. I have found some challenges in working with Thematic as the base code. The way they set up their functions within Wordpress gets to be a little tricky for those of us who aren’t totally programmer orientated, but I was able to find some help on the Themeshaper Forums to isolate [...]

Got a little bit farther with my mock-up in Photoshop today. Working with the delicately patterned background is really making it challenging to keep the site simple and clean.
Spent the earlier part of the evening setting up some of the initial widgets and re-organizing some of my Wordpress Content to accommodate how I will set [...]
