I’ve been working for the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. for a year now and what do I have to show for it? Plenty. So much so that It occurred to me that I hadn’t posted any of my work. Well, very little of it. To give an idea; I’ve responded to well over a thousand requests for action on the Web pages I manage, I’ve pushed almost 200 files live in the last month alone, I’ve release about 22 bulk email news feeds for the Department of Ecumenical and Agency Relations and posted them to their homepage, I’ve responded to over 200 requests for action or advice on creating online learning content, I’ve shot hours of video in an interview setting with a 3-point lighting set-up and attended a disturbing amount of meetings about these tasks while also considering the revamp of the OGA sections of PC(USA) with the Happy Cog team. Read more to see some examples of my work if you’re really really really bored.

I work full-time at the Presbyterian Church USA in Louisville and created the Web site for the General Assembly meeting to take place July 3-10, 2010. The Office of the General Assembly department in which I’m employed serves as a business arm, of sorts, for the national church. The General Assembly is a meeting, held every 2 years, that operates much like a congressional session. Rules are proposed and voted on by representatives from churches and collective groups representing clusters of churches around the country. Presbyterians operate under the guidance of a constitution that requires votes from representatives for every adjustment regardless of size. Tens of thousands of Presbyterians gather to discuss issues faced by the church. This year the meeting is in Minneapolis.

I recently created a small registration/informational site for Dr. L. Douglas Knight in Louisville. He is an orthodontist that spends a lot of time working with dental professionals on a specific discipline in the field. This new project is a course for practicing dentists and orthodontists that takes place in 4 locations over 5 weeks. In the full article I have some screen shots etc. I worked with Dr. Knight for a year out of school and I owe him plenty for giving me a chance to work in the field and get my hands nice and dirty as a staff member. I created all of his presentations, printed materials, Knightortho Web site and office educational materials. By the end of a year we had created, pretty much, everything he needed from a full-time employee. I moved on to work at Fort Knox for Northrop Grumman and we have remained friends for the past 5-6 years. He needed a small informational site and I was glad to help out.

A little plug for local illustrator Frank Peak and a “peak” at my super awesome custom button pack contest SCORE!!!

If McDonald’s packaged their crappy food so good I’d eat there a lot more often.

...two ends of Frank’s cubicle had a chain that was 10 or more post-its long of sketches and just as many napkins with cartoons littering the adjacent walls. Lunch… cartoons on the napkins and receipts. Meetings… cartoons scattered among random notes. He cranks out these…

Read More for all of the images and a bit more about Kentucky’s own Frank Peak.
