Highlights

	Some websites I've worked on. This is a small collection of sites I've developed or added to awhile back.

	Revenge Movie Trailer. Trailer I made with Adobe Premiere and After Effects. Jason Christman is the main star and I'm the director behind the camera.

	Essential Software For your Mac. - I'm a Microsoft geek, but I've switched over to Mac. There was a lot of stuff I needed to get installed that I missed on my Windows machine. Also I had no idea how to do it :p Here's some help.

	Speed Football. I wanted to make a special effect like the Smallville or Superman running fast. All the other ones I've seen, the person in the frame was the only moving object while everything else was blurred. I wanted to create the effect but interact with another normal moving object.

	Code Snippets and Quickies. Sometims I find something or develop something that I think is useful and it can be copied and pasted anywhere for someone to use. Here's a collection of things I've posted on.
