Update

Hi all! It's been some time, but my friend, NoHoJax, reminded me I even have a blog here.

I thought I would start with some of my more recent endeavors. I have been blessed with a great word-of-mouth network of customers that has a strong root in my best friends' projects and extends to more customers that were recommended by friends; who later became friends themselves. I have been hooking people up under Nuwud Multimedia. It is still being put together as an official business, and is closer than ever before.

There are several websites that are new to the Nuwud fleet, and I will tell you a little about each of those projects. These are not in any particular order, since everyone is important to me.

Urban Underground Weekly is an event held every Friday at The Airliner in Los Angeles, CA. It was organized by my great friends, Jeanine Strong (Jiji) and Michael Corvington (Leviathan) over 2 years ago under their company, Urban Beat Productionz. I undertook the design of their website, UrbanUndergroundWeekly.com and am close to done. It, like so many of my more recent websites, is constructed of the Content Management System (CMS), Joomla.

Joomla is a highly developed PHP/MySQL dynamic website structure that can be uploaded and installed on to the server of your website. Once installed it communicates directly with the server through, the language, PHP and dynamically loads information from the MySQL database. The database stores your information online and dynamic means it can be retrieved instantaniously where ever designated. Joomla also allows for use of gadgetes and programs within it by way of extensions, including different web templates that you can create yourself, download, or purchase memberships to template clubs. My point is that it is a great tool for getting the ball rolling on a website. But don't let the price tag of these open source tools fool you, if you want more than a cookie cutter looking and working site, you need some serious research under your belt. Even the basic set up needs the same kind of attention as an "old-school" website, like the ones I used to build from scratch. Nothing comes easy, I just make it look that way. :)

TammyJaneCosmetics.net is a cosmetics line created by Tammy Jane Filor. Tammy was recommended to me by Memo Salon, another client of mine whose website is now finished. Tammy Jane Cosmetics' site is going to be an e-commerce site for retail soon, but the core of the website is complete already. We are waiting on new product photos to update the site with and then th e-commerce portion will commence.

AzadiFitness.com belongs to Sheetal Narsai. She has been a serious blessing in my life and was introduced to me by my friend, Didi, whom I met in college. She's been a great friend and helped me get back in shape and eat properly after I spent years in front of a computer screen perfecting my craft whilst neglecting nutrition and exercise.

JLeeCouture.com is one of my oldest customers and dearest friends. Here website has undergone some updates recently to include some of her latest fashions. She is so darned creative!

I started on ACDSP.com for Advanced Computers Designed. They provides solutions for computer construction, network implementation and Security. It's core is done. More to come on that one.

Fatbol.net is a great E-coomerce retail web site that I am particularly fond of. Their gear is simple, yet kewl. Those guys in Humboldt are awesome!

Phadestar.net is the site of my best bro, Phadestar. He DJs, Produces, and is a prolific poet. You definitely wanna peep his stuff!

Phadestar's parents have a glass construction business, Coast to Coast Glass Corporation. I've known them since I was 12 and even did some work for them on occassion as a youth. I built Ctcglass.com for them. They are really excited about their new online presence.

I am undertaking a new project, Temple-Effectives.com. I have worked with them for years on a variety of things. Until recently they have always had someone else working on that website, although they did link me up with Revision Hockey to construct the roller hockey website, RevisionHockey.com. I am excited because I have been wanting to work on this website for some time. I will post on the updates.

My friend, Courtney is a yoga instructor and I built CourtneyHarmsYoga.com for her. It looks very sleek and gives info about her and has some really amazing photos.

Long time friends, Mobius, Leviathan, Seer and Sum-In-1 commissioned MetamorphsHipHop.com for their group, The Metamorphs. They are a successful HipHop group and even appear on one of their music videos, "Smooth & Collective"; which can also be seen at Nuwud.net in the video panel on the right.

GotchaPartyCovered.com is another relatively new one for a party throwing service geared at over-worked mom's that still want to throw birthday parties for their kids.

VIPbartenders.com caters to private parties of the highest calibur. With a variety of hot models and party styles to choose from, including body painted servers, you can definitely count on them to make that party you are throwing a huge success!

That covers some of the major web developments I've worked on most recently and am excited to be working on. I'll share more next time!
