As I’ve used G+ more the last week, I’ve real­ized the ser­vice that feels the most redun­dant is my Tum­blr account (on the cus­tom domain http://​www​.quack​quack​.org). I started the Tum­blr because I wanted some­thing more “mine” than Face­book, a place where my pho­tos and links would live inde­pen­dently. But how silly–Tumblr is just a hosted ser­vice that I ulti­mately have no con­trol over.

So what’s dif­fer­ent with G+ and Face­book? I think it’s the sense that Google will archive things. It feels like every­thing dis­ap­pears after it ages off of the FB feed. #blog

Alliance Cemetery

Posted on by

Alliance CemeteryI was hired to redesign the web­site of a ceme­tery that rep­re­sents a fas­ci­nat­ing slice of South Jer­sey his­tory. In the 1880s, a group of Jews escaped Russ­ian pogroms, came to Amer­ica and started a “return to the soil” move­ment that led to the estab­lish­ment of an agri­cul­tural colony in the small Salem County cross­roads of Norma, New Jer­sey. Before long they estab­lished Alliance Cemetery.

The new Alliance web­site high­lights the entrance gate. The ceme­tery has hired a sur­vey­ing com­pany to do a detailed map of the plots and we hope to add this in with a Google Maps mash-up when the data becomes avail­able. A detailed his­tory and pho­tos are also in the works.

The design is hand-coded from scratch and is prob­a­bly the most taste­ful design of my port­fo­lio. The pages them­selves are editable by the client using Cushy­CMS and the Direc­tions page has an inte­grated Google Map.
