The following code emails a particular person whenever an ACF Form is submitted. It’s a slight modification of the example at the bottom of this page. Since I’m dealing with three forms with different fields, I do some if statements to gather and append various fields if they exist. In this particular workflow, all these […]

Graph Page Transition via Illustrator
I’m working with Greg Pask to make a lab website. When I asked him for some visual inspiration he sent me two comic book covers by David Aja. That was a first! It’s driving me to do some interesting things in Illustrator for the first time. I’ve long promised myself I’d learn vector drawing but […]
Detox Site – Energy-conscious website breakdown
The following is what I wrote for this year’s DLINQ Digital Detox. It was strange writing without footnotes. It’s also a lot less of my normal writing voice. I was writing for a bunch of strangers rather than you, my dear readers.1 It’s easy to use the web without thinking about it much. Modern processors, […]

Anti-Racism Site Brainstorming
I love the part of designing a website where you’re exploring initial ideas. You’ve got a general direction and it’s time to think through interesting things that might play into the visual design and the functional aspects of this thing that doesn’t yet exist. Somewhere around Rasmus Lerdof’s quote – “I actually hate programming, but […]

Recent Work – July-ish Edition
Life is like a box of chaos and Forrest Gump was/is a descendent of Nathan Bedford Forrest and I’ve never read the Forrest Gump book. It’s always been difficult for me to keep track of what I did. I’m good about managing what’s in progress but once it’s done it fades from memory fairly quickly. […]
Recent Work – End of June Edition
Greetings dear reader. I write to you again out of the desperate hope that writing this cements things I’ve learned better in my own head and maybe gives a person out there something that saves them some time or suffering or maybe just provides a kernel of an idea that they can improve on. That’s […]
Recent Work – Start of June Edition
My date titles continue to get blurrier. The range of stuff covered gets wider. VCU is moving any course with over 50 students to the online format. We’re supporting that move in a variety of ways. Our little R&D group is trying to answer the non-standard problems, questions, media desires. To some degree we are […]
More Recent Work
Here is more recent work of a random nature. Some tours, some examples, basically a few highlights from this week that seem like they’d be vaguely interesting to someone. Protein Molecules Talking to one of pharmacy faculty about interactive 3d options led to his sending me a Blender file for a protein molecule. Initially, I […]
Considering Our WordPress Development Patterns
I believe we’ve developed a pretty solid pattern for making WordPress do what faculty want and making that happen pretty quickly. We have high goals in terms of taking on additional challenging work while also supporting a lot of things and a lot of people so we’ve had to be fairly pragmatic in terms of […]
