TIme again for the weekly review! Since the holidays are coming up, I will have some down time to catch up on some of my blog/tutorial readings and ajax/javascript books. as well as drawing! But on w/ the show.

• Housedancer.com redesign is underway [see below]
• D.Woods is ALMOST finished, just waiting on the final content but it is looking good and a mjar improvement from what she had before
• ROMG has been avidly booking for dec and jan (and possibly to feb now)
• ROMG will be also getting a face lift pretty soon.
• Ajax is my friend.
• Accounting is like a fair weather friend but I am learning to at least like it a little bit more. Thank you FreshBooks and BootStrap
• Still trying to debate between Django or Ruby on Rails as frmae to build my first web application
• Finally learned how to build a wiki and used it for the graphic novel of my brothers and I
• Working on my first public released ROMG Wordpress theme. Simple, elegant and cool
• Again, working on my attention to detail and stop being design lazy.

So in my former life, I used to be a dancer. That’s a funny thing to say cuz it’s not like I retired or don’t dance anymore. No, it’s more I don’t dance as much as I used to. Either way, I wanted to contribute to a scene and style I really enjoy so I embarked on a redesign of a informative site named Housedancer.com. It needs a face lift so here I am to save the day! Plus help out and give back to the house dance community.

I wanted to highlight the many videos they have as well as some of the newer content. A nice web 2.0 design that is clean and accessible. More as it develops.

Well kiddies, I’m back! After travelling around the world and back again, it’s time to catch up and close the year out right. It has been the better half of the year since I struck out on my own and things are going well. Had a really good meeting w/ the ROMG fellas and everyone is on the same page after a few hiccups. Theres a lot of work to be done.

• Finally resettled back into NYC after being in CA for about 4 weeks and Japan for 1 week
• ROMG promotional materials will be done by the begining of Dec.
• Jowell y Randy site is back on..more later
• Begining on In The House magazine this weekend
• Wrappin up D.Woods project, finally
• Redesigning Housedancer.com
• Finishing up Cecilia Stalin
• Reading up on small biz accounting
• researching more on AJAX
• Stepping my organization

OBAMA by DAVID CHOE

Well, I’ve been around the world and i ya ya….it has been a crazy interesting month. High school reunion, trip to Japan, youngest brothers wedding, and catching up w/ friends. Did a lot of consulting, meetings and chit chat which led to one really good gig that I think will produce more work. The others were more wishy washy but also did some probono work (like the branding above for a church group/band, Unplugged) and enjoyed the California sun. Now, its back to NYC and to the grind.

Hung out w/ my friend slim and got some exercise in. fun times indeed.

Back from my vacation in japan. Good eye opener and reaffirms my travelling bug. Peep the pics here. Also got alot of good reading in interms of my organization, creativity and biz practices. Japan is a crazy place but alot of inspiration. Uppin’ my business game!

Week 2 in sunny California has been filled with meetings and consulting sitdowns. A few leads on new work but we’ll see. Above is a quickie flyer I did today. On w/ the show!

• Lanched 19Market.com
• D.woods build is movin. Functionality is almost there and now Pope is tweaking the design.
• Cecilia Stalin project is movin to the build phase, test site up soon.
• Meetings galore! From old HS friends to non profits w/ no money but high demands to indie clothing labels. Getting alot better at pitching. Now got to work on closing the deals.
• Twittering more and following cool designers
• catching up on blog reading
• Started a branding design for “Finnie’s BBQ”
• Reading up on Javascript/AJAX and small business
• Teaching house dancing tonight
• Leaving for japan on sunday! see you in a week

I am proud to present 19market.com! A wonderful resturant in downtown san jose, ca. Took a little bit of time to completely wrap up but I think the end product worked out well. take a gander and tell me what you think!
