A sample of what I do now...

I spend most of my days building flash engines to display data feeds from our custom CMS in a visually interesting manner. And I sneak on here to post ;) This is one of the more complex engines I've wrote and features my transition engine to manage mask placements to reveal the next image. More on that in another post...

Tech Specs:
65k due to 2 embedded fonts, no preloader
700px x 210px
dynamic images and text from our webservice
8 sec auto cycle if more than 1 image
ActionScript 2.0

Anyway, here's the link: http://www.leetrout.com/featuresEngine/

This is why I like where I work

We got this internal email the other day...

Just thought I’d share a cool story with you. Yesterday afternoon while I was still in the office, I had a sales call with a prospective client.

My contact was very excited and impressed with SiteOrganic, and wanted to move forward with two Websites. She told me that she would go back to her executive team with a recommendation, and that they would probably have to spend some time finding the money in their budget.

Right after that conversation, a young family came into their Dallas office to thank them for the services they had received. They left a card. After the family left, my contact opened the card. Inside was a cross with scripture around the edges, and the word “Trust” in the center. The note was written: “Please use these funds for an upgrade to your Website.” It was a check for the exact amount needed for SiteOrganic.

She called me with the news this morning from her car, and was beside herself. Definitely a praise!
