Going grocery shopping with my mother when I was young was a lot of fun. It was when we could connect with each other and share what was going on in my life. My mother also taught me a good deal about cooking, but more on that in another post.

We are slowly establishing an online presence for Bill’s highly regarded real estate agency.
We helped motivational speaker, Tim Moore rebrand and refresh his website.

I have a long relationship to books. I learned to read early in life, around 3 years of age. Later in my life my passion for books lead me to land a job managing a bookstore for 11 years. Those were great times and I often still dream I’m heading to work, ready to unpack boxes and shelve books.
As I am called on to do more with social media for my clients, I’ve (finally) taken a more of an interest in YouTube and Instagram.
Although RefinedRapture.com will continue to represent my career as a web developer, my blog posts will reflect more of my personal interests such as spirituality, music, cooking and so forth.
I had been doing some work for a client who wanted an animation transition removed. This was a legacy project that involved many plugins and going through the stylesheets became nearly like untangling how many levels in Inception.
On an assignment recently, I worked with a dev-ops team that refused to have anything to do with FTP, and rightly so..it can be a very inefficient and insecure way to transfer files.
When I asked “well, how do I get the code to the server then?” I was told it was all done behind the scenes when I commit to git. I was intrigued and wanted to do that for my personal projects …and this is how I did it.
It may surprise many who know me that I’ve consciously limited the amount of technology I rely on for my day to day life. Sometimes it’s a matter of being a ‘traditionalist’, or sometimes it just turns my stomach when a company creates a product merely for its ‘cool’ factor over any sense of practicability.
On my last assignment, we had a need for an occasional HTML email blast. I generally have relied on Mailchimp to make such emails but this was for a small, internal audience so such a service would have been overkill.
