Fresh off the press!
Xerox Exchange is a simple weblog powered by a slightly modified version of Textpattern. When I was working at visicswire, Walker Hamilton and I were asked by One Design company if we could be the lead developers on the site, and better yet, have it done within a week. Walker and I decided that we wouldn't have time to make a custom CMS in that amount of time, so we decided to use our favorite "out of the box" CMS Textpattern.
Creative League is a place where motion graphic artists can gather to share their work, experience, and even network. The site allows anyone with an account to link their own videos that they host, or uploaded to Vimeo. Each user also has the ability to edit their profile, favorite other artists, and rate others videos. Lastly this site is a good place for potential employers to meet any artist seeking full, part, or freelance work.
Peg Board is a very cool community bookmark site where anyone can set-up a free account and start saving their favorite websites as bookmarks. Originally this project was built by Walker Hamilton, and Walker and I decided it would be very cool to come up with a new design and add new features to enhance the original bookmark application.
Jon Cancelino's site is always a work in progress; which is a very good thing. Jon hired me back when I was in my second year of college and has come back to me a few times for updates and redesigns. Currently Jon's site is powered by Vimages, and uses flash to display all his artwork. Vimages allows Jon to login to his site and manage, upload, and organize galleries and photos featured on his site.
Portfolio Web is an application Columbia College Chicago uses to build portfolio sites for students who know nothing about the web, or can't afford to hire a professional.
The Portfolio Web application is very powerful because not only does it build dynamic websites on the fly, but it allows users to submit their own templates. Each student that has a user account can manage the content on their site, including images, movies, text, and audio, and can select the site template they would like to use.

A little about myself...
Quick information
My name is Josh Minnich and I'm a Chicago based web designer and developer. I'm finishing up my last semester at Columbia College Chicago, and working part-time at Verge-Solutions, LLC and Some Odd Pilot. I take great pride in web standards, and believe that every web developer should. Lastly I recommend my weblog Write Hype to any beginning CSS or JavaScript developer looking for cool tips and tutorials.
What keeps me level
For the past year or so I've made myself very familiar with PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. I try my best to keep up to date with the online world by exploring frameworks, blogs, and tutorials for the technologies I'm already familiar with. Currently I'm trying my best to dabble around in Ruby on Rails, and Django. I think both offer great solutions and could be utilized for different projects.
