Web Design and Development - Milwaukee Wisconsin - Web Design by Kent Heberling

Recently I’ve been tasked with creating tons of graphics, ads, and sites that need to read “Click here to…” just about everywhere. This really got me thinking on how inane that text really is, and how much I’d like to see it eradicated from the web. My reasons are… (more…)

So, big news… I just started a new job. I resigned as a Web Developer from Hal Leonard the day before Thanksgiving and started my new job as a Web Designer for Journal Interactive, the online division of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, on Monday December 14th. It’s very odd switching from spending 95% of my time coding to spending 95% of my time designing and I’m not sure which one I truly like better yet. I can definitely say that I’m enjoying my new work environment, salary, commute, and hours though.

Over the weekend I launched a new site, a personal blog that showcases my somewhat dark and self-deprecating sense of humor. The blog, Just One Day Without Failing, uses Wordpress and a theme I made myself. It’s mostly pointless but I hope to keep it entertaining so check it out.

Web 2.0 is the one-millionth word in the English dictionary!

I just completed all of my requirements for the Web Programming Certificate at MATC and I’ll be picking the certificate up on Monday. I’m ecstatic to be done with school after 5 years, over 160 credits of undergrad followed by a year of working full time and taking evening/online classes at MATC. There’s still plenty for me to learn but I think I’ll be learning from books on my own time from now on because I want to know what it’s like to actually have free time. Grad school isn’t completely out of the question, but I’d like to be clear of undergrad debt and have a really, really clear idea of what to study before I would get a Master’s degree. I think a Master’s is in order if I ever want to be a webmaster or web manager for a career, but just being a web developer is good enough for me right now.
