The End of The Road
September 3, 2021
(Cross-posted from cozbaldwin.com) Original post found here: https://www.cozbaldwin.com/2021/08/the-end-of-the-road/ I was recently hospitalized for what was later diagnosed as gastritis. Though another doctor said it could be gastroparesis. Or both. Who knows. But the point is, I haven’t been able to fully recover from it yet and maybe I won’t. I can barely eat anything due to not having much of an appetite and will sometimes throw up what I do get down. I’m in constant discomfort from it. And it’s affecting my breathing because of the pain when inhaling, too. I feel like shit. But I’m burying the lede, here. Because another thing they told me was that my heart failure has become very advanced. My weight has been steadily going up since January and it’s to the point now that the BMI is »
Version 4 Launched
December 8, 2018
Recently, I decided I needed a project. So I decided it was time to update The Carpeted Wall (TCW). But then came the big decision: WordPress or nah? You see, as I’ve gotten more and more into Wordpress, to the point of exclusively using it for client builds, I always was proud to keep my portfolio as one that was hand-coded. This showed that I didn’t have to rely on fancy, new CMS technology in order to build a website. I could prove my HTML and CSS skills are real. But two facts convinced me to give in and go WordPress once again. I didn’t want the trouble of building a true 100% responsive site (which is something the old version was lacking because it was so out of date). No one cares anymore. Sure, it’s a big deal for most employers to need to know you »
Stage Magazine Rebrand
February 19, 2012
Stage Magazine has undergone a very smooth rebranding and The Carpeted Wall is very proud to have helped. Along with a domain name switch, Stage required a new logo and a new website, both of which have been added into the portfolio. »
Print Work
November 7, 2011
A new section has surfaced on the site. Print work! This is where I will place examples of graphic design work I’ve done for print. Obviously… »
Eighty6 Appeal
October 11, 2010
A new logo has been added to our portfolio, thanks to Eighty6 Appeal who commissioned The Carpeted Wall to design a logo for use on their business cards. There are talks that TCW will also be tapped to design and build a website for this new, independant cosmetology business. »
Stage Magazine
October 6, 2010
As a result of a successful redesign of thevillageplayers.com, The Carpeted Wall has now added stagepartners.org (A.K.A. STAGE Magazine) to its website portfolio. This site was also programmed in Wordpress and should provide its many dedicated followers a new, flashier look and a greater organization of current and past reviews, interviews, and local theatre announcements and press releases. Additionally, the Member’s Only area of the website was able to be transferred to this new layout without disturbing the current subscriptions whatsoever. »
The Village Players
September 15, 2010
The Carpeted Wall is proud to present the newest addition to our portfolio of design. Thevillageplayers.com asked us to help with a new design of their site and we hope the new design presents a more informative and organized representation of the theater company. Programmed in Wordpress, this re-design is not only giving The Village Players of Hatboro a fresh look, but also provides many more ways for users to engage with the group via RSS, Facebook, and Twitter (which TCW also helps maintain). But that’s not all! TCW has recently been commissioned to re-design stagepartners.org, the familiar newsletter found in theater lobbies and in the hands of theater actors and devotees! More info later when that site, which will also be programmed using the Wordpress CMS, launches. »
TCW Version 3
May 23, 2010
The Carpeted Wall receives its second re-design in 9 years. It’s been fun looking back at the original design from 2001 and a refreshing change from the design launched in 2005. I hope it serves as a more professional looking showcase of some of my best efforts over the years. Of course, I’m sure it will continue to evolve further as time goes on. »
ECJ Tragedy
July 31, 2008
Since a growing number of web surfers are investigating their way to this website today in the wake of a tragic event, I’d like to express my sympathy for the families and friends involved with those who lost their lives today in the plane crash which occured in Minnesota. Secondly, I should mention that although East Coast Jets still uses my design for their website, I forfeited all webmaster duties back in January 2007 (approximately) and have not been in communication with anyone in the company since then. So if you’re looking for any information here, I’ve got nothing for you. »
Hidden In The Sand
April 2, 2006
The ultimate Tally Hall fan headquarters, hiddeninthesand.com, is launched. After months of researching, designing, and learning, this has been a tough personal project to put together and it’s still not completed. Most likely, it will be one of those sites that will be constantly morphing, adjusting, and adapting as time goes on. With a completely interactive and comprehensive FAQ system, a Flash based chatroom (complete with file sharing, AI bots, interchangeable themes which the users can control and edit, and fun sounds), and lots more interactivity, this is THE place to learn, connect, and share with other Tally Hall fans. www.hiddeninthesand.com »
