Wow, organizing a web portfolio of my work since 1997 has been a big job. I finally opted to just upload some pics to my Flickr account in an effort to get this moving. This is a work in progress, but check it out: Christian’s selected web portfolio 1997-2007

So far, this has been a busy year. To name some of the things that have been going on with Fab Apps:

• We launched a lively Socially Responsible Investing Jobs Board on the Social Investment Forum’s website, in addition to enabling e-commerce on the Forum’s website to power online donations, publications orders, and online events registration.
• We’ve launched our first Facebook app, an “I Voted” sticker for your profile page.
• We helped the Environmental Working Group distribute their first viral Flash widget for their campaign website, PetsForTheEnvironment.org.
• We are just weeks from launching a web design and total web content rewrite for the OMI USA’s Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation effort.
• We have located our office at Affinity Lab, a fabulous shared office space in Adams Morgan, full-time.
• But the biggest news is that our free tool for word discovery, Wordage.info, will be ready for the world in just a few weeks!

In addition to my work with Fab Apps, I have been continuing to work with web design firms Digital Division and Unison Agency.

There you have a good bunch of work news. In my personal life, Jim and I have moved from Northern Virginia to Washington, DC. I have grudgingly given up on kung fu classes for now, because the school isn’t near where I live anymore. But I have been drawing a lot, nearly every day, and experimenting more with the charcoal techniques I learned in a drawing class earlier this year. Good times!
