Darren, Angelo and I officially launched the Beer Can House website this past Tuesday. It has been a great experience working with Julie and Stephen from the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art.

I highly recommend visiting the newly renovated house when it reopens this spring.

I am always on the search for a place that has free wireless (Wifi) and good food or drinks inside the loop. Below are the places I have found so far that I like going back to. Do you have any favorite places?

8 hours later the website is done and the competition is over. What an amazing day. You can view the site at www.beercanhouse.org. I just want to thank Darren and Angelo for a great experience and for working so hard. I think the site looks awesome.

Judging of the websites will occur over the next two weeks. I look forward to seeing what happens.

I am sitting here in Farish Hall on the University of Houston campus prepping for Air Houston to begin at 9am sharp. Farish Hall is a pentagon-shaped room with three levels decending to the center ground floor. It is also right in the center of the UH campus.

As I scan the room, I see familiar faces of Houston’s top web designers and developers. Teams from Schipul, TopSpot IMS, Poplabs, Idea, and more. My team is called Team Whiteboard and it is made up of Darren Ansley, Angelo Directo, and then of course myself and I work at Adcetera.
Stephen from Orange Show Center for Visionary Art has already arrived. He works for the non-profit that now owns the Beer Can House.

Ok, the time is getting close. Stayed tuned for the new website.
