Author Archives: DrPunchman

Matt was raised in a retirement village in the Ozarks. He used art, computers, and video as ways of expression. Eventually they formed the pathway to his career.Currently, Matt lives in the western-most portion of Los Angeles County. He has been happily married for a random number of years.

The tag “Dr.Punchman” is a nickname he gained while working at Prolific Publishing. When co-workers would bring their children into work, the children would ask, “Where’s the punch-a-man?” Then they would hunt Matt down and pummel him while he worked.

“Dr.” is an honorary title.

Panning for jQuery Gold!

I needed some cool ideas for work. This is what I found: Sliding date picker Easing Animation Examples jQuery Transit (animation made easy) Jeditable ( ‘j-edit-table’ or  ’jedi-table’ ?  ) APE (Ajax Push Engine) Raphaël (vectors for JavaScript) jQuery Map Building  History Slider Timeline Time Glider (this could be done better) Timelinr Slider Clock (love) 3D [...]

jQuery + KnockOut = Awesome Forms

A fun little Newsletter generator I am working on that uses KnockOut and jQuery in magical and new amazing ways! It is kinda ugly right now, because it is still in process–so shut up.

jQuery Nav with Arrow Support

Ignore the man behind the curtain… I’ve scrambled the text so you can’t see my super secrete message in the nav (hint: Ovaltine). The menu itself is what’s important anyway, not the text. The “how-to” follows:

Tea time

I haven’t posted for a while… Walked to the gym, and got here a little early. Time for an inspirational cup of tea, because I’m growing up to be an old lady.

Street Retouching

From my day with Miguel [www.artfindings.net]: I asked for some images he wasn’t going to use, so I could play re-toucher with them.

Wiggle it, just a little bit

Its a wiggle party, and your booty is invited.  I thought there was a ready-made expression for this? “Wobble”,”Wiggle”,”Jiggle”? Screw it, So… I kinda made my own.

Peanuts

I can’t believe how many names I have forgotten. Maybe, it’s time to do something Peanuts related…

Copy cat

Copying more work by Stephen Silver. Ditto gas decided to draw as well tonight. If you are interested, you can see sketches after the jump.

MineCraft: Island life

So, there was a very cool MineCraft update… Villagers, and towns! The only bad part was, the villagers were all dicks. So I built a boat and sailed off to find better neighbors. I sailed for about 4 days… and saw some pretty cool stuff, but no villages. I kept sailing, and sailing… there should [...]

Day at the beach

I love the ocean on days like this.

Loop Faster, Damnit!

Taking your loops from 0.03 to 0.02+/-! A while ago, I was talking (probably here somewhere) about increasing the speed of FOR loops in ActionSctipt. They both do the same thing, but with the variables pre-defined, the second FOR is faster. It isn’t trying to run a function AND calculate the length of an an [...]

Escapism.

For everything there is a season. I have left the world of advertising, and have gone client-side. Although I loved the teams I worked with (and free candy from Wonka) all things must end.
