Web Design Class

Here is the latest project for my current class, web design. The assignment was to create a fictitious restaurant with a menu or cuisine of my choice. I had to make the six tabs for the menu bar and the name of the restaurant. I chose a textured background and my instructor said it looked old and out of style. I searched in Google for Mexican restaurant and the first three I selected all had textured backgrounds....but I'm not saying he's wrong, he is the instructor. I still made an A for the project.

During the five weeks for this course, the web site will evolve from the bare bones of what you see here to a fully working site. You can watch my progress at the following web location: http://www.jaxonworks.com/. After this class session, the web site will be a vehicle to showcase my own art, photography and writing.

I am working on a project now, a group of short stories all featuring one main character (a man with a wife and one or two kids ... I haven't decided yet). Anyway, this fella gets into all sort of funny situation...some family members may recognize the situations but I promise all names will be changed in order to protect myself!

Until next time.

The New Me

I know, its seems one blog stays on here for months at a time...growing, uh "moldy" as my friend Chaz says. Then one day I change it and just a few days later I change it again. I know y'all are thinking I must be crazy. Well, that's beside the point. I'd change it more often if more exciting things happen to me. But then again I'm glad I am not a drama magnet like my friend Teri. I guess I could tell y'all about her dramas!



A couple of weeks ago I got a new look. I wanted to share it here with everyone then but I had some mechanical problems with my digital camera so the picture of the new me was a bit delayed. Anyway, I got my hair highlighted, now I look like my mother's daughter.




This isn't the best picture I've taken and Photoshop can only do so much. I may want to rethink wearing that color in the future, it looked OK when my hair was dark but not now.




Until next time.
