I've been a long time user of Amazon's MP3 Store, but never loved the user interface. In my time off over winter break, I set out to make something I'd enjoy using. I learned a lot about Amazon's API during this development and had to reverse engineer a bunch of their code to make it work on my site. There's a lot of Ajax used for page loads and sorting through results, which I feel makes a much snappier shopping experience.
I'm a SF bay area web junkie. I started making websites in 1995 while going to school in San Jose and have always been facinated with web technology and using it in unique ways. I'm the father of a baby girl, a husband of an ex-Googler and have a day job working for the man in corporate America.
Lawpower is the catchy name for my design stuff. The name came from my days running a bootleg Dreamcast game server on Carracho and has been used as my handle for forums, digg and online gaming. Kinda like Nintendo Power, the magazine I was glued to as a kid. Besides, what's better than Law? Law with some Power!
While I don't suggest you stalk me, here's some things I update from time to time:
ROB the Robot is copyright Nintendo. I just love him, please don't sue me.
