links

I used to want to have a link page that linked to all sorts of stuff. Not anymore. Links on this page come and go as I find them or decide that they're no longer interesting.

http://www.caesars.com/ballys/lasvegas/

Edison International : This was my first ASP site and I became tech lead for this project by default, as the original guy got fired. The code behind the site is sloppy and cumbersome, but hey, it gets the job done. I did almost 100% of the HTML and ASP programming.
http://www.edison.com/

Hot Rod Magazine : We actually coded 20 different magazine sites for EMAP Publications, of which Hot Rod is only one. The current site isn't 100% what we gave them, but it's still pretty close. Cesar Ojeda and I did all the HTML and Javascript for all the sites.
