I have been creating websites since 1995.
Here is a changing gallery of a few projects.
MassArt OnlineGroups and Blogs. Most of the content is only available to logged-in members of the MassArt community. Currently a WordPress MU Site with BuddyPress. Massartonline.org has also been used other e-learning projects at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Also included Student Galleries and Moodle Courses. Recently moved and expanded Moodle. It now has its own server (moodle.massart.edu).
s21: Web Club Created for Somerville's 21st Century Schools after-school program. Created Curriculum and taugh the course to middle school students. Site built with HTML and Movabletype. We also used the internal server to host and share all student projects. Students used available web tools to create graphics, learned to code basic html and explored blogging.

AEContent and Summer InstitutesThe Renewal, Support and Growth Institutes at Massachusetts College of Art and Design ran from 2003 - 2006. They featured two-week Graduate-credit studio courses focused on artist research, interdisciplinary portfolios, new media and new approaches to standards-based creative thinking in the classroom. The website, AEContent.net (offline) was used as a teaching-tool during all of the institutes and workshops
The NoiseThe Noise, founded in 1981, is a classic local rock 'zine that has out lasted most and still covers "Music New England" in print and on the web. Created the first website for the magazine in 1996. Re-launched it in 2007 running on the Joomla CMS. A new WordPress-based site rolls out April 2012.
Moodle and MassArtRecently completed the successful transition of the college’s online courses from Blackboard to Moodle, and additional courses from earlier code-base to a managed 2.x site.
Mick MilkWebsite for Mick Milk a one-man DIY synth-master and guitarist who performed a multi-media club act in New York during the early 1980s. His music has recently been re-released on Anna-logue Records.
Mikey DeeThis website was originally created to help friends keep track of Mikey's recovery after a devastating brainstem stroke. Mikey was a Boston DJ music promoter and beloved scenester before he became ill in 2000. He passed away in 2003. The Musician's Benefit Trust, created in his honor supports other musicians in need. The site is being relaunched in WordPress.
MassArt OnlineMassArtEd has been an experimental new media portal and test-site for the Art Education department at MassArt since 2004. Recently converted the Department blog from Joomla to WordPress and integrated it with massartonline.org.
Custom site design and online community development created with WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Moodle, HTML, JavaScript, XML, and other Web 2.0 platforms.
I have been making websites since the introduction of the Netscape Browser in 1994 and have seen the graphical web grow from image maps and simple HTML, through the introduction of frames, Flash, Perl, PHP and AJAX. With each new enhancement and approach, I have been motivated by the ability of web-based media to blur the boundaries between maker and consumer, publisher and reader, designer and client.
