Projects

Library Website in WordPress (2016) This is a prototype of a library website in WordPress which I enjoyed creating.

EverythingAutism.org (2014) Everything Autism is a resource guide for the autism community in Clear Lake, created and maintained by me, but I haven't done much with it in a few years.

MFAH TMS Data Standards Manual (2011) Implemented standards for cataloging objects accessioned into the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. This project was funded by a grant from the IMLS (Institute for Museum and Library Services). These data standards are specifically for cataloging into a museum registration system called "TMS."'

Oscar Wilde's De Profundis (program guide) With inspiration from Aubrey Beardsley, I designed and wrote the program guide for a performance at the Alley Theater of De Profundis, a letter written by Oscar Wilde after his imprisonment. The inside of the over-sized brochure is a page where the sayings of Wilde were printed on a period letterpress for those who attended the show.

"Religion in the Academy," First Things, 1994, is an excerpted letter to Dr. George Marsden, Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame, written while I was a graduate student at Indiana University. He submitted the letter for publication to First Things, where after I was interviewed by The Chronicle of Higher Education.
