Introducing Poncho: a simple weather app for Android and iPhone
Poncho is a dead simple mobile web app for viewing current and next-day weather conditions. It works on Android and iOS, although it’s tailored for non-tablet smartphone devices like Android phones, iPhone and iPod Touch. It’s a mobile web app instead of a native app, so it may work on even more platforms, but I haven’t tested it on anything else. If you go to app.getponcho.com on your device’s browser, you can bookmark and/or add the app to your homescreen and run it virtually just like a native app.
Touch “slide to unlock” in Mobile Safari

I didn't realize that, for the most part, it's as easy as attaching Javascript touch events to DOM elements - just like you would with any other events in Javascript.

I really wanted to take some time to design and build something awesome - without having to worry about the elephant in the room, *cough* Internet Explorer *cough*.
Unfortunately, I didn't have a whole lot of unique content laying around that could […]

After my last post admitting that I had neglected to keep my previous personal site up to date, I’m a little embarrassed to say that I haven’t made an update to this site since it’s launch. Mostly the reason was because of a major career move, but I am now determined to dedicate my time and effort to this site and other personal projects.
New Year, New Site
Five months ago when I decided to go about a much-needed redesign of my portfolio site, I didn’t expect it to be nearly as difficult or take as much time as it has. Fortunately, it became much more of a priority when I parted ways with MediaSauce at the end of October. I also needed to write some good articles for the new blog in addition to basically generating all new content for the site.
