This app is based around the content that the Rooster Teeth team, the creators of Red vs. Blue, provide via their YouTube Channel. There are some great benefits to this both from a developer stand point and user perspective. Boxee interfaces fairly naturally with YouTube content so bringing that content in for users works really well. The users benefit from this as they get all the play back controls they’d naturally expect when watching video.

I’m really excited about this app, and hope you guys are too. So for more information on the Red vs. Blue Boxee application and how to use it head over here and take a look. You can also see what other projects I might be working on in the projects page.

Over 6 months ago I started with an idea to build an online portfolio and home to any of my development projects. I wanted a place to send people to find out about what I was working on and what I had done. I knew the name needed to be geeky to fit my personality, but memorable/catchy enough to work as a brand. I bought the domain http://onezerostudios.com thinking I had nailed it. A few hours later after a couple discussions and some more thought I realized I hadn’t. The problem with the name was that I wasn’t a studio, and I think the word “studio” tends heavy towards design.

Motivated to get started on the project and start moving a few things under a new name I spent the next few hours trying to decide what I was going to do. I was pleased with the One Zero part of the first attempt, it was certainly satisfactory for my geeky requirement, yet recognizable to non-geeks as well. OneZero.com was taken though…by some financial company at that, so I was going to need to work on it. I continued tossing around some names with a few friends and I fell in love with Think One Zero.

Think One Zero is the perfect embodiment of what this site is about, and I think it’s going to be a really killer name to use for my projects moving forward. The goals I have for this site are simple:

1. Showcase my talents and skills as a developer.
2. Maintain a resource for other developers as they move forward in their own projects.
3. Give back to the community of developers with contributions to open source projects.
4. Whenever possible open source my own projects for the community.

That’s probable enough writing/reading so…I’m happy to finally announce the launch of the site! Take a look around and let me know what you think and be sure to subscribe to the feed, sign up for the newsletter or follow us on twitter for the latest updates.

Boxee is the first “social” media center, whose free, open source, downloadable software is changing the way consumers experience media.

On a computer or connected to an HDTV, Boxee gives people a truly connected digital entertainment experience to enjoy movies, TV shows, music and photos, as well as streaming content from websites like Netflix, MLB.TV, Comedy Central, Pandora, Last.fm, and flickr. Not only that, but you can share information about what you’re watching with friends so they can find it legally and enjoy it too. You can even post things you like to social networks like Twitter, Last.FM, or Tumblr. All this from within a visually driven interface that makes media come to life.

I’m a big fan of Boxee, but as nice as it seems to consume all of your media on a computer (or the soon coming Boxee Box) hooked up to your TV in the living room, live sports is an area where Boxee struggles. They’ve certainly made some great strides in partnering with MLB.TV and NHL Game Center, but it isn’t enough for some.

So at I set out to bring some more live sports content to Boxee and created (and continue to improve) the ESPN3.com application. This application brings in existing Live and Replay content from ESPN3 to the Boxee interface in an easy to use and easy to understand way. For more information on the ESPN3 Boxee application and how to use it head over here and take a look. You can also see what other projects I might be working on in the projects page.

The folks at Willy Roberts Classic Boats needed to make some changes to the website in terms of content as well as add two additional sections (Pre-Owned Boats and Willy’s Store). I set out to incorporate these new pages as easily as we could into the design and in the end client was pleased with the work. We also took a look at the overall site and made some drastic changes to the underlying code in an effort to streamline the site and simply future work that might need to be done, either by myself or any other developer.

I then took some time to sit down with the owner of Willy Roberts Classic Boats and show him some new tools I implemented to get a better grasp on the effectiveness of his website. These included adding the Google Analytics tracking code and the Quantcast tracking code. These tools have helped Willy Roberts Classic Boats better understand where their web visitors are coming from and more about them so that they can better serve their needs.

phikai.com is my personal blog where I post various things I want to share. It’s built on top of the WordPress platform which powers some of the largest blogs on the internet. The platform is extensible which allows a community of developers to provide plug-ins to integrate with other services on the internet. Check out the gallery below to see what I’ve done.

If you like this design and are interested in having your own personal blog, please visit the contact page and send me an email.

The design also proved to be fairly popular amongst friends and a few other variations of the design have been made for their landing pages. You can see their designs by visiting their sites below.
