New stuff

Though Catharon has let me go (again), it has still been a busy spring. I am working on designing 2 new web sites, as well as the contents behind them.

One is the long-dormant ABCD Organizer. It is rewritten, and rewritten well. Details are on the site, but I have used it to organize 750 slides my father took from the 50s and 60s, and it worked great.

The other is trying to turn our interest in antiques and crafts into a company. We have "cornered the market" in xipiqi and yundiao lacquer, and are looking to start exporting. Thanks to Mr. Xia, our main antique dealer who introduced us to some of the artists, we have connections to several traditional and dying arts. We have formed Great Cultural Renaissance. The site is my responsibility, and what particularly pleases me is that I think it is well done - it is the first I have designed the look of as well as the structure, and while it is not flashy it does not look (I modestly think) amateur, but presents the subject clearly and in an attractive manner. You can actually run the site management software by logging in with the password demo. Check it out, and tell your (rich) friends.
