welcome

webkewl has been providing web site design services since 1998. In the past, server side development utilized MGI to provide database driven websites. While concentration has shifted to PHP/MySQL for such development, the release of MGI3 means that I'll be able to utilize the scripting language that best meets the needs of the project.

Peter Passell is man who, in his own words, has "been fortunate enough to have multiple careers". He was a professor at Columbia University before moving to the editorial board of The New York Times and later to the newsroom. About ten years ago, he was offered the opportunity to become editor of the Milken Institute Review, which he continues to do today. You can learn more of his background here.

He also continues to research and write in the area of economics. With his latest book, "Where to Put Your Money Now", he decided it was time for his own website.

Peterpassell.com utilizes a database driven content management system allowing Peter to easily add new content to the site. I would expect the content to expand significantly from this recent launch as he continues to research economic related issues.

The Emmons family came up with an idea to help raise awareness about our carbon footprint as a result of a school project. The Greenfoot Car Magnet is the idea, and I'm increasingly seeing them as I drive down the road.

Just launched in May, Vermont Nature Creations is another business owned by the Emmons family. The Vermont made, hand-crafted plant rooters are truly beautiful in a window (I can personally attest to this as they gave me one!). Fashioned from copper, there are a wide variety of styles to choose from in the categories of classic plant rooters or stained glass plant rooters.

Accessories such as replacement vases and wall/extension hooks, and add-ons like decorative glass beads and magnetic bugs are also available to further enhance these pieces. The site also includes some great information on getting the best results from your new plant rooter.

Both sites utilize a database driven content management system and have ecommerce capabilities with live payment processing.
