Finally sat down this weekend and completed my Javascript Lunar Lander clone, JSLander. Decided to make it after messing around with midpoint displacement towards the end of last year. The development of JSLander overall wasn't too bad, the trickiest thing was making everything work exactly the same when you were zoomed in...
Been messing with canvas again, and put together a little demo that creates procedural cell looking textures, based off of the Worley algorithm. You can achieve some pretty amazing results, also added the option to animate, but since the algorithm has not been optimized yet you have to keep the dimensions and number of points low...
Just finished up another site for a client, http

Like always still messing around creating random things using JavaScript and the Canvas element. My most recent side project was implementing some Action Script lightning code posted by Rybar over on the Flixel forums. Here is what I came up with...
Just finished up a design for a client Mio Ausable Schools. I think it turned out pretty well. One of the funny things is this is the High School I actually went to oh so many years ago, a place where I flexed my brain technology wise...
I have been using MSSQL with ASP.NET a lot lately, and I really wanted to get some of the benefits of stored procedures into a PHP application I'm writing. I've known MySQL has supported them for a while but I guess I was always a bit too lazy...

Plugin has been updated to 1.4 please go here for more up to date information. Updated fixed a bug, and added an example file to show how to use the plugin. Added a few new things to the Jquery snowfall plugin, you now have the ability to clear the snow from elements..
When I sit down to prototype something new I always find myself looking up the same snippets to do the same types of things. I figured I might as well record them somewhere so I know an easy place to look when I do forget. All the samples will be in Javascript and should be able to be easily converted to any other language...
