John Wellington Ennis (of Shoot First Inc. / co-founder of VideotheVote.org) showed up at my door one afternoon with some of his dude’s, tied me up and smuggled me into the United States. There I was bound to a computer desk and forced to rebuild the website for his film FREE FOR ALL!. During the ordeal me and John became good friends and he said he felt really bad for abducting me like that. I told him ‘next time just email me dude’.

Some time ago I had the absolute honour of redesigning the Nerdcore Rising website for director: Negin Farsad. I have also stayed on board to help her out with updates along the way and continue to work at optimizing the website and blog for search engines. Nerdcore Rising is currently ranked #5 in google for the keyword “nerdcore“.
Nerdcore is the newest, dorkiest wave of hip-hop, born out of the internet and made possible by computer-obsessed geeks. “Nerdcore Rising” follows MC Frontalot, the godfather of nerdcore, on his first national tour. Along the way, Frontalot fanatics and music industry notables tell the story of this funny, fascinating, and unapologetically uncool cultural phenomenon.

Jennifer Levine is a puppeteer and educator down in Montclair, New Jersey. Her puppet show The Miracle on Monroe Street was recently featured at Fringe NYC 2007. I was fortunate enough to meet her through MC Frontalot and have been working on her website ever since. Her old website was coded a few years back and did not conform to new web standards and eventually we decided to revamp and recode the layout.
Screenshot from before the revamp.
