wingslover.com

A site documenting my exploring of the San Diego (and wider) area places for wings.

I started this to force myself to re-learn web design and structure using CSS and a layout framework (Materialize).
Photography

I've always loved taking picutres, from the early days of digital I have owned many cameras. My current (Sony A7R2) is awesome, I just wish I had the talent to go with it.

I continue to try

Logo Designs

For the longest time I had nothing but a basic welcome page, now I have the first attempts at a logo design...
The tools I use
  • Brackets text editor for my web development, I do it all by hand (no GUI tools here)
  • materializecss.com for their web framework, I use this in many of my site designs. A perfect tool set to learn good web site design.
  • fontawesome.io offers an awesome set of icons for your enjoyment. As of writing this (April 2017, they are offering discounts to their new pro version).
  • tinyjpg.com to compress my images, quick and easy way to improve the performance of your websites.
  • Google website tester offers some level of indication on how well your site works. I think it's far too agressive, but a good guide.
  • coolors.co helps me pick color palettes, even with my limited abilities on the artistic front
  • Google Fonts gives me the flexibility to pick a more pleasing font for my sites, I like Roboto, Raleway and a spattering of Titillium Web (used here)
  • Sony A7R Mk2 is a fantastic full-frame camera that has helped me up my game a little. I especially love the pictures taken at night in Moab, UT in 2015 (see here )
  • Sony RX100 Mk4 is my small hand-held camera, offering some pretty good shots for such a small device.
