Ryan has coded a few websites in his time, mostly from scratch and always with a lot of effort. His ambition for this site given his usual barebones tool set was causing him to really dread starting this project.

As long as Vi and Ryan were willing to go with a standard template, the job basically came down to creating and positioning the content they wanted. wøøt!
DreamHost was offering a promotion for BarcampLA7 and we ended up with free hosting! DreamHost is a local company started by a few kids from Harvey Mudd, who are doing a bang-up job as far as we’re concerned. They’re also carbon neutral. Keep up the good work!
Google docs lets you create and embed forms that post directly to an online spreadsheet.
iWeb 2009 creates this timer in javascript for you. :)
Each google map provides code to embed itself. iWeb 2009 also has a special map embedding widget.
We traced a google map using OmniGraffle and took some artistic license with road placement. :)
