Matte Elsbernd web publisher. writer. photographer. 30 years experience.
The web has always attracted me as a way to express my ideas. My ideas come in many shapes and sizes. Whether it's visual, verbal or programmatical, I've found some way to explore them, whether it turned into an actual website, stopped as a small demo, or remains simply an (not so) used idea that is waiting for someone else to take up and run with.
The sites/projects below are pretty much 100% my work from idea to writing, design, development, etc. I think it's a pretty impressive list, but it's still just a sliver of the ones I've wanted to build.

The Firm List (January 1, 2016)
https://
In case you were wondering, The Firm List is still actively maintained, I just haven't put all that much time into it. It's a sparetime project for a man with little sparetime.

With that said, I started the new year by adding functionality that was requested previously, but that I just had never gotten to. And that is now firms can be listed with https:// rather than http://. This is reflecting the ongoing focus on encryption and security online.
