A Bit About Me

My name is Rogie, formerly Jesse (long story) and Komodo Media is my site. Currently, this site is a business, a blog, an experiment lab, and an area to express myself creatively on the web.

I am a father, a husband, a youth leader and a web designer, illustrator and blogger. I love designing, especially with vectors. I get giddy about using CSS and newsk00l JavaScript to create sweet stuff.

If you want to know more about me, hit me up on twitter or email me and we can chat more.

About This Site

This site was hand-built by me. 99% of the graphics were produced using Adobe Fireworks. This site is a mixture of a love of jungles, reptiles, swiss-family robinson, a butt-load of coffee, a love for jQuery, PNG images, inspiration from other designers, and a desire to create my own mark on the interweb. Oh, and yeah, this site was made using a Mac (however, I think you could still pull it off on a PC).

If you want to know about the technologies involved in this site, here ya go:

Komodo Media, Through The Years

Komodo Media, as of this writing, is on its 4th redesign. Each version expresses some part of my personality, as all of my redesigns were very personal. Version 2 was really the start of something big. That’s when I hooked up some mad JavaScript and got some recognition in web galleries as well as covered in Web Designing magazine. Version 3 kept the ball rolling, as I received much recognition and gallery showcasing as well. One can only hope for version 4
