SAROFSKY CORP. WEBSITE

Dane — Tue, 12 May 2009 14:47:32 +0000

A few weeks ago welikesmall and I launched a new site for Sarofsky Corp. a design driven production house based out of Chicago, IL. They do amazing video work – I’m a big fan of theirs.

The site is running a 100% custom Django based CMS that allows users to easily upload new projects, including production stills, multiple videos, downloadable media and other information. It also includes an externally embeddable Flash video player that I wrote which allows users of the site to embed videos anywhere they want.

I did all of the development work – which utilizes both heavy Python scripting on the backend, but also quite a bit of jQuery work on the front-end. I ended up using SWFObject 1.5 because when I used 2.0 it wouldn’t allow me to effectively clear out an asynchronously loaded SWF and replace it with static content. Odd.

You can see this site @ http://www.sarofsky.com.

ODOPOD.COM = COMM ARTS WEB PICK OF THE DAY

This is pretty exciting for me, and I think that after all of the hard work we put into that site the entire team at Odopod deserves a hearty congratulations… I’m really glad to see this site receiving the recognition that it deserves.

“Built to grow, on an easy-to-use content management system with tagged projects, and designed on a strict 16-pixel grid, this redesign is a clear showcase of the studio’s work.”

Also – it’s nice to see the CMS getting some of the attention – although I’m biased – because I wrote this one.

THE RUMORS ARE TRUE

Dane — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 15:50:33 +0000

Yes, it’s true. I’ve resigned from position as Senior Developer for odopod. I really enjoyed my time there and I learned a great deal from both the partners as well as my colleagues – and I wish them all the best.

I just found myself increasingly drawn to my freelance work, as well as my various personal projects – most of which sit unfinished (including this website). I’m excited to have a chance to revive some old stuff, and introduce you to some of things Kiala and I have been busy dreaming up these past few months.

I’m very lucky to know a fantastic group of wonderfully successful people who have been able to provide me with steady work so far, but I’d always love to hear about new projects – you can reach me @ dane@doesnotvalidate.com.

I’ll be updating this site with my most recent launches – like this project that I worked on with the guys over at Instrum3nt for DC shoes, and the new Odopod site.

I’ve got some really exciting stuff happening in the next few weeks, and I’m very optimistic about the future. Thanks to everyone who helped get me here.
