www.digitalemma.net 

its not *quite* finished (still want to add some more content to it)  but its at a good place now for me to put it out there before i leave for south by southwest.

some details you may find mildly interesting:

  • contains over 700 lines of code, though a more efficient programmer probably could’ve done it in much less
  • rss reader dynamically grabs headlines from this blog
  • projects and info are all stored in a separate XML file (which I will use to create a text-only version eventually)
  • full page flash positions content with respect to browser dimensions
  • executes the MovieClipLoader class to preload the image files
  • uses the tween class to move the bottom content up and down, but timeline animation for the heart transition

i have the tendency to hate my portfolio designs after about a month.  let’s see if this one stands the test of time.
