| 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. |

| What Was New in 2000 |

| The Firm List (December 16, 2000) The 6,000 Barrier I've passed the 6,000 firm listing milesone on The Firm List which is quite amazing to me, when I never had any expectations that the site would become the resource that it has, let alone it would draw the audience it seems to have. |

This is one of those pieces of functionality that could have positive and negative effects (what if you firm only has a few profile views?) but in the gradual move towards having more reviews/rating functionality for firms, this is a form of review/rating, if or nothing else but traffic. |
| The Firm List (November 21, 2000) Spotlight on HyperInternet Launched a new spotlight today, of a small bi-coastal firm I have run into, HyperInternet. |
| The Firm List (November 19, 2000) Canada & UK Get Their Own Subdomains In the further growth & development of this site, I have now separated the Canada and UK listings to their own subdomains, this will allow you to get to those listings quicker, and in the future, I hope to provide useful tools & resources specific to those regions. |
