CUBE2MEDIA


Well after a long stretch of the why's and why nots, I have teamed up with Bob Hanson from Electric Graffitti Multimedia in Salt Lake City Utah and we have finally started up Cube2 Media. This has been a long time coming, but we wanted to wait until just the right time, and now that time has hit us like a snowplow. We mainly build online web applications, but we do dynamic web site design as well. Most everything we build is done in rails framework, but not to forget JQuery, Javascript, and even SEO optimization. We have already launched a couple of client projects, the first is a stand alone all inclusive resort booking framework called ParadiseResortsNow, go check it out, they have some great deals if you are interested in vacationing in Mexico or the Dominican Republic. I could not believe the amenities these resorts had to offer until really getting a feel for them while building the site. The next project that is finishing up is called MoonwalkCardio This project entailed all of the dynamic design aspects, as well as all of the photography and video work as well. I think this client is onto something very ingenious within the heath communitiy as well as the medical community. Well until next time...click it!!

A Wedding at Rainbow Gardens

View on ExposureRoom

Had a lot of fun shooting John and Sherry's Wedding at Rainbow Gardens. I must say the nervous aspect never completely goes away when you are being paid for a photo shoot... You may get more comfortable with the concept, but for me at least, there is always a part of me that still has a bit of being nervous, but overall it probably helps me stay on top of my game... This footage was actually shot with my new JVC HD6 with a Pearstone 0.7x wide angle lens.....Hope you enjoy the HD video, my wife and coordinator shot alot of the footage while I caught the stills....

17" MACBOOK PRO & SNOW

Well apple never ceases to amaze me with the options available on the new line up of machines. This time was no different. I initially purchased the new 15" macbook pro which i thought was a smokin' machine. I have been using apple for about the past 4 years. I initially switched due to the instability in windows operating systems, sub standard browsers, and virus after virus. So in the realm of it all i went mac and purchased the original white intel macbook to give them a shot and wow i was floored at the stability, browser adherence and was so impressed i purchased a 20" imac for the office as well. Like I say I was so impressed with the new 15" laptop that I bought, I was curios what I was missing out on by not owning the 17" model...answer .......quite a bit...1920 screen resolution, dedicated 9600/512 switchable dedicated video card, and so much more.......Everyone always harps.."Mac's are so expensive".....well in my line of work you only get what you pay for......but the fact of the stability of the operating system, and the sheer speed and compatibility with web development software are built right in and standard.. Now with the release of Snow Leopard, they have really outdone themselves with this one.....it is not a complete re design of Leopard, but they have really enhanced on an excellent operating system that was in place. They listened to customers and developers about what they felt would help make the mac better and they have come up with the solution...Snow Leopard....So if you happen to walk by or stop by and see me standing in 17" of snow take a closer look and really see what you have been missing out on by staring at your windows.....
