		<description><![CDATA[A list of projects, endeavors and portfolio pieces that I created that I am supremely proud of, from my third year working at Boston College]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcsealyearthree1.jpg"/><br />
Three years at <em>Boston College</em>&#8230;and going strong!</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/bostoncollege">Boston College</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/bconeyearlater">Boston College&ndash;One Year later</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/bcyeartwo">Boston College&ndash;Year two</a></li>
</ul>
<p></p>

<p><em>One year later</em> and <em>Year two</em> were rough years, and not because of work, but because of what was going on outside of work. Well, year three smoothed things out. Year three has been a great year. Both at work and outside. <a href="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/tellmewhatyoudontlikeaboutyourself">And even though I&#8217;ve posted things recently that would lead you to believe otherwise</a>, just know that BC and <a href="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/inbound">my new living situation</a> are the primary things in my life that are keeping me going strong.</p>
<p>Here are some of the projects that have been keeping me busy:<br />
If you are using an RSS reader, please go to the <a href="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/bcyearthree">actual post</a>.</p>
<p>The homepage is still one of my main responsibilities. Haven&#8217;t got around to adding some javascript animation like I wanted to for the featured highlights and events yet, but, that&#8217;s only because we were switching over the BC CMS so I had to wait to see what was going to be possible within it:<br />
<a href="http://bc.edu/" rel="shadowbox[bcyearthree]" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcyearthree_homepage.jpg"/></a></p>
<p>The bulk of my work this past year has been making features and creating technology to showcase those features. Here are the one&#8217;s I&#8217;m particularly proud of from this past year:<br />
We revamped the look and feel of <em>Portfolio</em>:<br />
<a href="http://at.bc.edu/portfolio" rel="shadowbox[bcyearthree]" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcyearthree_portfolio.jpg"/></a></p>
<p>Last year there was an audio slideshow that I was working on that I am SUPER proud of. That came out AWESOME, called <em>Here&#8217;s looking at me</em>:<br />
<a rel="shadowbox;width=695;height=480" href="http://at.bc.edu/slideshows/selfportraits/selfportrait.swf?size=2&#038;format=xml"><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcyearthree_hereslookingatme.jpg"/></a></p>
<p>Another audio slideshow that I did that came out really good was one called <em>Welcome wagon</em>:<br />
<a rel="shadowbox;width=695;height=480" href="http://at.bc.edu/slideshows/welcomewagon/welcomewagon.swf?size=2&#038;format=xml"><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcyearthree_welcomewagon.jpg"/></a></p>
<p>I found and started utilizing this new slideshow technology called <em><a href="http://highslide.com/" target="_blank">Highslide</a></em>:<br />
<a href="http://at.bc.edu/tedkennedy09/" rel="shadowbox[bcyearthree]" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcyearthree_tedkennedy09.jpg"/></a></p>
<p>We even started doing interactive features, which has been great for me because it means the video/audio people step aside and I can actually utilize my expertise:<br />
<a rel="shadowbox;width=937;height=412;" href="http://at.bc.edu/interactivefeatures/beckercollection/beckercollection1.html"><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcyearthree_beckercollection.jpg"/></a></p>
<p>Even though I didn&#8217;t shoot this piece, I thought I should mention that the storyboarding and concept was my idea that I proposed:<br />
<a rel="shadowbox; width=620; height=380"  class="option" href="http://at.bc.edu/movies/bcminute/superfanminute/BCMinute_superfanminute.html"><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcyearthree_superfanminute.jpg"/></a></p>
<p>This in an interesting feature I did of a tour of the University’s main data center:<br />
<a rel="shadowbox;width=695;height=480" title="Blade runner" href="http://at.bc.edu/slideshows/serverroom/serverroom.swf?size=2&#038;format=xml"><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcyearthree_bladerunner.jpg"/></a></p>
<p>At the beginning of the year the Carrol school of management wanted some interesting new pieces of technology that we had to build and create content for. We created an accordion style Javascript feature to house audio slideshows that I created:<br />
<a rel="shadowbox; width=550; height=470"  class="option" href="http://omc.bc.edu/misc/csom-accordion-content/index2.html"><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcyearthree_undergraduate.jpg"/></a></p>
<p>Not everything I do is technology/code/content driven. I actually get to digitally illustrate some artwork for various pieces we&#8217;ve done:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcyearthree_hereslookingatme_large.jpg"/></p>
<p><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcyearthree_bladerunner_large.jpg"/></p>
<p><img src="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/images/siteupdates/bcyearthree/bcyearthree_welcomewagon_large.jpg"/></p>
<p>Not everything I do for the University I can actually highlight here using images.</p>
<p>There is a lot more that I do that I shouldn&#8217;t talk about as of yet. Only because a lot of thing are in testing, approval, and somewhat hush hush that I don&#8217;t think my higher ups would approve of me posting.</p>
<p>Stay tuned to Year four&#8230;all will be revealed.</p>
<p>And as always, I owe a GIANT thank you to my employers and the College for this amazing opportunity to let me be a part of something bigger than myself. &lt;3</p>
