Earlier this month, I spoke at the Dallas Drupal Camp about Drupal and mobile video. I’ve worked on a couple of projects for clients this year and last year that involved uploading and displaying videos from a mobile app on iOS and Android. Some of them have used Drupal for the server, others haven’t used …
The Android Honeycomb 3.0 (and newer) animation library has a nice little class called AnimatorSet (not to be confused with the older AnimationSet) that lets you organize animations either to be played together, or to be played sequentially. In this case, I needed to create an infinitely looping image fader that cycled through ImageView objects …
I’m happy to announce that the NMC Horizon EdTech Weekly app just launched for Android. I built the original app for NMC for iPhone and iPad last year, and it was a lot of fun to build an Android version of the same app - a lot of things are the same, but there are …
Recently, I had the opportunity to provide training on building Android apps at SandCamp in San Diego! I was excited to teach my first training class at a Drupal camp, because I like to teach, and I like Drupal. We built this app from scratch: Why Android apps? First, Android is open source, and the …
Is your cat moping around this holiday season? Is she bored of all of her little stuffed toys? Does he ignore that oh-so-awesome scratching post you bought him, even when you cover it with catnip? Let your cat play games on your iPad! Just in time for Christmas, my newest app Cat Game:Aquarium came out on the …
The major feature in the 1.0.3 release is support for the iPhone 5 screen – it’s longer than the iPhone 4 screen, so I had to add a few autoresizing masks to get the content to flow properly. The iPad version remains the same, and it will also work the same on any iPhone 3GS, …
Sometimes it’s fun to just work on a video game. Especially if it’s one for cats. We downloaded and bought all of the cat apps for the iPad, and our picky feline, Mango, got bored with all of them. The game he did go nuts over – Cut the Rope! So I decided to make …
I recently teamed up with Level Ten to create an iPad app for the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. The Kimbell is one of my favorite art museums, so I’m pretty excited about this app! You’ll have to go to the museum to check out the app, because it’s installed on their iPads. From a …
I'm a software developer in sunny Austin, Texas. I develop mobile apps, and I like coming in at an early stage to help define the user experience. I'm currently working on projects both for myself and for clients. In the fall of 2013, I'll be teaching a class on iPhone App Development at the University of Texas as an adjunct professor.
Some of my current projects include Shopping Cart App for iOS, Find Me Hotel Deals and the Cat Game: Aquarium
My most recent talk was about Mobile Video and Drupal at Drupal Camp Dallas 2013. I spoke about writing an iPhone app with Twilio at TwilioCon 2012 in San Francisco. Earlier in, I co-presented on Drupal and PhoneGap at the 2012 DrupalCon in Denver. I also gave a talk on Drupal and Mobile Apps at the 2012 Florida Drupal Camp. Branching a little bit away from the technical side, I gave a talk on mobile application development strategy for Drupal at Drupal Camp Dallas in 2012.
In 2011, I spoke at Drupal Camp Dallas, the Lone Star Ruby Conference, and Drupal Camp Austin.
In my spare time, I run marathons and ultramarathons with my wife Cheri. Together, we're up to over 100 of them.
