I’ve been busy with some things for Goose Dog Designs. We are excited about the next launch of Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre’s new site. They were very happy with what we gave them at the end of 2008 that they wanted some more features and content. My new app uses MVC design. A sneak peak can be seen here:

Also, I created a music mashup site that uses the MTV content API, the lyrics fly API, and Amazon Web Associates API. I got some design help from a friend and we are happy with what we made. I am using Wordpress for about 50% of the backend. However I am completely overriding the admin page and creating posts from Flash. Unfortunately, I just found out that MTV decided to remove the part of their API that returns the embed code for the video. A few weeks ago I noticed that it wasn’t working right, then it was working right again. So I don’t know what the future of this site will be..
Also, I have been doing some spec work for a photographer. I created a php site with an admin page that uses flex. The page is fairly simple:

To work on my design skills I made a “fake” gourmet food store:
