| [1] Acrobat | Use Acrobat if you need to present content on the web and retain all aspects of the design of your printed piece. The sample pieces in my resume and the origami diagrams are all presented in Acrobat format. |
| [2] BBedit | HTML tools are dime a dozen now, but BBedit still pulls me in with its great tools and capabilities. This entire site was built and tweaked with BBedit. |
| [3] Director | It's nice to be able to put interactive bits up on a site with Director and Shockwave. The Tips section has pieces presented in Shockwave. |
| [4] Debabelizer | You've got 17 24-bit images that you need to drop into the Netscape palette. What are you going to do? Open Debab, create a script and watch it all finish inisde of a couple minutes. Read the latest vapid trendy magazine while you wait. |
| [5] Fetch | My students ask, "I built my site, now what?" I use Fetch to upload sites to remote servers once I've finished a project. |
| [6] Freehand | I won't get into the whole, "My illustration package is better than yours," battle. It's pointless. I use Freehand because I like it. The face on the intro page was built in Freehand. |
| [7] Gifbuilder | This is a great application to use to build animated GIFs. It's easy enough to use that you don't have to read the docs that come with it. The animated GIF that starts the Origami section was assembled with GifBuilder. |
| [8] Photoshop | The big fun toy to use to tweak images. The current version even comes with a GIF89a plug-in so you can export transparent GIFs directly from Photoshop. All bitmap graphics on this site were manipulated in Photoshop. |
| [9] Transparency | If you need to tweak the transparency of a GIF, Transparency is the application for the job. |

| [x] Fonts | The fonts on this site are from Fonthead Design. I used Gurnsey for the Village section, John Doe for the main and Resume sections, and Good Dog Cool for the Origami section. |
