Stupid Sucks!

If you haven’t heard already, a Wal-Mart employee was trampled to DEATH this morning in NY. The customers literally broke the doors down and trampled the employee. Another woman was knocked down and later had a miscarriage.

Many people knew the employee had been killed and they just wanted to keep shopping. It makes me sick that people like this are out there in such large numbers. They should each be charged with the murder of both this employee and the miscarriage. read more…

Well, as you probably know, I have been building a few themes for ThemeForest.net to earn a little passive income on the side. My most recent addition is Archestratos (screenshot to the right).

Archestratos is currently setup to look more like a restaurant style theme but can really be used for much more. Overall the theme is elegant yet versatile. The layout is fixed width, clean and easy to use, making it ideal for anyone looking for this style of theme.

Anyway, take a second and check out the live preview here. If you’re interested, you can purchase the theme here as well as read more details about it.

Today I’m happy to announce another theme completion!

FreshBiz is a very simple, clean and effective template. It is extremely customizable and easy to use. It could easily be used for business or personal websites. It even includes a very nice logo which is worth the cost of the theme by itself.

This theme ended up taking longer in production that I liked. Sometimes that happens I suppose. This particular theme was also a two sided project. The theme will be used for a client’s website as well as being sold on ThemeForest.net.

My theme production time usually takes 2-3 days depending on complexity, features, etc. This theme should have only taken 2 days but instead was spread over more than a week totaling nearly 4 days of actual working time. That’s a lot! read more…

I’m a freelance designer and web developer. I work at home and love every second of it. When I tell people what I do they always say, “Oh cool, I bet it’s nice to have the freedom of working at home”. Or at least they say something similar to that.

As great as it is to work at home, it’s not easy by any means. You are your own boss but being your own boss just means you have all the responsibilities of a normal company boss and then some. One of the things I struggle with is billing. That’s where FreshBooks comes into play. read more…

Today I finished my third template for ThemeForest.net. I have named it News 360 after being requested to be “inspired” by CNN.com. It was somewhat of a rush getting this template finished and was severely delayed due to IE 6 problems.

You can view version 1 here: http://jremick.com/templates/news360v1/ and version 2 here: http://jremick.com/templates/news360v2/

The template is somewhat “barebones” but it has a lot of potential for someone looking for that particular style layout. It has a lot of great features which can be viewed at it’s page at ThemeForest. read more…
