Featured Work: Gyeoggi-Suwon International School
I was approached by Gyeonggi-Suwon International School to build a website. This is my largest Expression Engine site I've tackled by myself to date. It has a few key features. It integrates Google Calendar by parsing the RSS feed with Magpie. There is a smart employment application which exports applicants on a weekly basis as a CSV file. There is also integrated photos and videos powered by Flickr and YouTube. Key plugins/extensions/modules include, Structure, Wygwam and FieldFrame. View the Project.

Favorite Productivity Mac Apps of 2009
2009 is my first full year as a freelance web designer and developer. Being in charge of my own time and resources makes me realize how I took for granted the ease of collecting a paycheck and the beatings project managers can sometimes take from demanding clients. This past year was a great journey and I'm confident freelancing is a great fit for me right now. Here's a list of some of the apps I'm using to manage my workflow, including Quicksilver, DropBox, Tweetie, PingFM, Google (RSS) Reader and TextExpander.
These tools are just apps I use to keep on top of news and technology. I plan to post another article of tools I use to manage client correspondence, invoices and maybe even a few tips for tax-season.
Having Fun in Mokpo, Korea
Eric and I took a trip to Mokpo, South Korea on the KTX, Korea's bullet train. Eric had to go down there to do an car design demo, so I tagged along. We had a Korean seafood feast. All of it was raw, some of it alive. Just one of the crazy experiences we've had while living here in the land where most everything we know is flipped upside down and turned 'round and 'round.

Brief Bio About Amy Stoddard
I'm a balanced left/right brain that can design a comp and code well-written HTML & CSS, JavaScript, PHP and mySQL. Actionscript 2.0 is my old flame.
“Amy worked as a junior programmer/interactive designer under my management. She always strived to learn new techniques and further her skill set as both programmer and designer. She also strived to find interesting solutions to projects rather than status quo. Since she left Gyro, I have hired Amy on freelance basis on Flash projects, taking advantage of her increased technical and graphic design talent.”
