Mario Superstar Baseball for Nintendo GameCube launched in the summer of 2005 and was one of my favorite projects of the year. The site is built around collecting and trading 33 baseball cards based on amazing feats, stadiums, rookies, missions/modes, and mini-games.

I also built a fun little mini-game for Mario Superstar Baseball. Collect the Barrel Batter card to play it, 'natch.

BTW... "Mario's a pitcher, not a belly-itcher."

WarioWare Twisted! launched in April of 2005. Since the gameplay of Twisted is built around a gyroscope in the game cartridge, we took a more experimental approach to the site and it's content. I think we successfully captured the playfulness of an extremely addictive game.

My favorite section of the site? Has to be Twist 'Em!

Mario Party 6 for Nintendo GameCube launched in January of 2005 and broke the existing mold for the Mario Party franchise.

Mario Party 6 for Nintendo GameCube was chosen by the FWA as Site of the Day on January 28th, 2005.

We made this for Xmas day and it was crazy good.

Here's the recipe, which i modded from the Gourmet Cookbook, followed by some pics of the steps:

3 cups kosher salt

1/4 cup rock salt (optional)

3/4 cup water

6lb prime rib roast

Instant read thermometer

Preheat over to 325ºF.

Mix kosher salt and water together to form a paste.

Coat roast with salt mixture.

Sprinkle roasting pan with rock or kosher salt to form a bed.

Place roast in pan fat side up.

Roast until instant read thermometer reads 125-130ºF for medium-rare, it took this one right around 2 hours.

Remove from oven and let stand for 15-20 minutes.

Remove salt shell, slice, and serve.

The Cut.

Salted.

Sliced and Ready.

I'm going to start off in early 2005, work my way to the present, then start traveling further back down memory lane.

So Zelda... Wow, what a site! I'm getting a little choked up here because I think Zelda was a turning point for me in so many way.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap recieved a 2005 People's Choice Webby Award for Best Use of Video or Moving Image and was chosen by the FWA as Site of the Day on March 12th, 2005.

Finally, another home away from home on the web to call my very own. Amazing to think I was able to squeeze this in at the tail end of what has been an extremely busy and exciting year.

This site will serve mainly as a professional portfolio site and maybe a tad bit more... After all, I've got 10 years worth of work to 'blog' about.
