Freelance Web Design & Development

If you haven’t checked out Pandora yet, you really should. Their tagline is “Listen to Free Internet Radio, Find New Music”, and that’s exactly what it is — and the music it plays is uncannily well-tailored to whatever inputs (mostly song/artist names and up/down votes) you give it. You can store a lot of stations when you log in — I have one for almost every mood.

Here’s an early summer playlist (well, it’s going to be a CD for the car), composed from both new music I found on Pandora and music I already knew about:

1. Cake - Rock ‘n’ Roll Lifestyle
2. Girl Talk - Bounce That
3. Spoon - Don’t You Evah
4. The Presidents of the United States - Peaches
5. Maritime - Don’t Say You Don’t
6. Delays - Too Much in Your Life
7. Led Zeppelin - Fool in the Rain
8. Of Montreal - Oslo in the Summertime
9. Mark Sandman - Patience
10. Delays - Long Time Coming
11. Field Music - You Can Decide
12. !!! - Intensify
13. Steve Miller Band - The Joker
14. Belle and Sebastian - Step Into My Office, Baby
15. Tortoise - Peering
16. Paul Simon - Graceland
17. Broken Social Scene - Stars and Sons
18. Goldfrapp - Fly Me Away

There’s a new blog in town! Aristocratic Rockstar is a collaborative blog by a handful of urban twentysomethings about living the lifestyle of an aristocratic rockstar while still being able to make payments on your student loans. I’m both writing articles and doing web development for this!

My first Ruby on Rails powered site went live recently — check out myabuy.com, a site that connects vendors and consumers via categorized product descriptions and personalized RSS feeds.

Also, I’ve just launched the redesign of daccordboutique.com — it’s the business site of a French-themed gift shop in my hometown of Shepherdstown, WV.
