Each year a big group of us go up to Tom Hughes’ place in the San Juan Islands to party. He’s put so much work into his island bar that we collectively decided to make a website, tees and drink coasters just to push it all completely over the top. His bar is better than all tiki bars in Seattle (and probably most other places). I did the site, Chad Otis did the illustration and Mark Popich did the crests and teeshirts.
After three years I’ve decided to redesign my website. The new site is a simple, white layout and uses flickr for sharing all my images. I need to move thousands of photos from my personal web server to my flickr account and that will take several days. It’s long overdue anyway. This new site pulls the flickr photoset descriptions and image descriptions direct from Yahoo’s server farms using fantastic flickr’s API. Thanks to Joe Tan for the handy plugin that does the heavy lifting. Hopefully all the bugs will be worked out very soon.
