miasma.   portfolio.   the obfuscated realm.   about me.   about miasma.
Introduction.

My first web job was in 1996, working as an assistant for CondomSense—a company founded on the premise that people are too embarrassed to buy condoms in public. I learned the basics of HTML from them.

In 1997, I left art school to take a job producing images, audio, and video and publishing content at pioneering online music magazine, Addicted to Noise.

After three years, I left ATN and wandered the plains, working odd jobs and making my way. In 2005, I became web editor for Juxtapoz Art & Culture magazine. I designed, coded, wrote daily news, reviews, and features and managed all aspects of the site until 2008.

Post-Juxtapoz, I worked for various other magazines and blogs until 2010, when I fell in love with math, physics and astronomy. Currently, I'm in school full-time, but also working on a couple writing projects, doing freelance web programming, painting and traveling as much as I can.

Sites that I've contributed to, tech-wise.

My Love For You is a Stampede of Horses

Bomit


Site that I regularly contributed to (and occasionally still do) out of my deep, abiding love for art.

Fecal Face Dot Com. I met FF founder and editor John Trippe when he opened Low Gallery on 14th Street in San Francisco's Mission District. I was a regular contributor of art show photos and reviews, and I wrote a column called The Demimonde for about a year. I continue to contribute on occasion, like this piece about a mural by Deuce Seven.

The CMS I've known and loved.

Drupal. I used Drupal at 7x7 and CH+D. Both sites were converted from Clickability by Drupal geniuses, RainCity.

Wordpress. I've edited Wordpress themes for various freelance jobs (some more severely than others). I love its simplicity.

MovableType. I've installed and utilized several versions of MT on this website for my personal blogging adventures.

Joomla. I used Joomla for both Juxtapoz and Hi-Fructose's sites. It's a good system. Drupal is better.

Clickability. I can't say it's my favorite, but I did work with it for about nine months and lived to tell the tale.
