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.

Retired
Sometimes it's just time to put something to sleep. A project that I used quite a bit in days gone by, but which I use so infrequently that it wasn't worth trying to rebuild. Goodbye.com!

Fixing
Over the years, various PHP upgrades have exposed some of the loose coding syntax allowed that I never saw was causing problems. Now seen, I'm trying to fix.
