"Barrett, I am able to view the video on my android phone. The embed is a bit too wide for my screen. You may want to make it slightly smaller so it fits cleanly."

About Me

I have been working with the web for the better part of two decades! I've seen it evolve from pages that were very basic (and hideous by today’s standards) to dynamic and social applications. I am well versed in many web technologies and will happily geek out about the latest trends.

In 2009, after “getting” some time off, I took a cross-country road-trip and conducted interviews with different people and companies using Twitter. It was an unforgettable experience for me; one that I hope to duplicate in 2010. Check out the interviews at Twitter Road Trip and read tweets from my travels on Twitter @route140.

Currently, I am working as a freelance web developer. I have several projects I am working on, including LaunchPad INW.

Specialties
My web development capabilities can almost be summed up as "soup to nuts" . If "soup" is the design, then I have years of experience doing everything else. What comes after soup? Salad? So, "salad to nuts"?

Some of the technologies I have experience with are: ASP.NET, HTML/JavaScript/CSS, PHP, JSP, WordPress, Drupal, MySQL, SQL Server, IIS, Apache, C#

This weekend Next week the folks at LaunchPad (just me actually) will be updating the site to a new two-column layout. An unfortunate side effect of this update is that any member profile page customizations will be reset. If you haven't made any changes to the look of your profile page this will not effect you. However, if you are someone who has made significant changes (e.g.…

Ignite Spokane is our version of the global phenomenon known as Ignite. It started in Seattle in 2006. In just a few short years, it has spawned events in cities world-wide. So what exactly is Ignite?

Ignite is an opportunity for selected individuals from the community to get up in front of a crowd and wow them in five minutes. That’s right, five minutes. Each presenter gets 20 slides with each slide auto-advancing after 15 seconds. It is a fast paced presentation to say the…

At 4:03pm on July 13, 2011, Michelle Baker said…: Funny! I saw that after I sent you the message. See you there :)

At 4:07pm on May 4, 2011, Catherine Freshley said…: Hey - Nice talking to you earlier today. I'll look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a good rest of the week.

At 9:43am on April 27, 2011, Eric Bandholz said…: Mark, good chatting with you yesterday. I really liked your idea about LunchPad and have made the change to the rules. Once you start a discussion I'll send a message out to the other members encouraging them to start their own.

And we need to have a drink or coffee soon!

At 10:16am on April 13, 2011, Jamie P. Shanahan said…: Mark, I need help. I am still unable to use the "send" button for normal emails. I've learned that this is a problem for another member as well. I am writing to share that I am under the weather and won't be able to attend today's class for LaunchPad enhancements.

At 11:48am on April 9, 2011, Ruben Gamez said…: Hi Mark, thanks for the kind words!

Currently living in south Florida and in the process of moving to Spokane. Actually home shopping in Spokane at the moment. Excited and ready for the big move.

BTW, nice work with LaunchPad; looks like you've got a lot going on.

At 1:24am on April 6, 2011, Jamie P. Shanahan said…: Mark, I'm still unable to reach you through normal channels using the messages to send or respond. If you will send me an email again with your phone #, we can arrange a time to chat. This really makes me wonder if this problem is unique to me or my computer (i.e., a "user" problem.) I don't see any error messages at the bottom of my screen. Hum?

At 1:58pm on March 9, 2011, Charles Lightwalker said…: Mark,Would love for you to come to one of our meetings and tell us about what you do,SpokaneHolistiChambero Commerce.org

At 11:09am on February 23, 2011, David Masten said…: Thanks Mark. I'm a video media guy as well so if you need an extra camera guy or want to through me a project to edit, I'd be happy to help for free and show you my skills.
