Marcus Kern - A website of Skill and Creativity.

Update: Personal to professional transformation

Hey,

So allot of things have been changing around here, I've been inspired at work to branch out and to develop a more robust plan for my professional career not just where i'm jotting down ideas and providing my developmental and logic skills through Ideas to make my workplace better.

With this and the acquisition of 5 new domain names and 3 websites I've decided to revamp my personal website into a professional studio along with examples of my work and of websites i've developed.

This will mean that from now moving forward all my toys and little apps are going to be moved to a tucked away place. though you'll still be able to see all of the various applications I've built they wont' be immediately available on my site. (You'll have to dig for them, like nuggets of goodness)

With this addition, (or subtraction) you should start to see my website transform into a professional looking site designed to lead you to these Nuggets of places and other various places I've found on the web.

 

Personal Greeting

Hello,
     Welcome to my personal website.
I'm sure you've come here wondering what this site is about. Well, it's not easily explained but the examples I have on this site show my ideas, my abilities and my understanding of programming, logic and everyday use for not only my skills but ideas and creativity.
There are allot of things going on here, for instance under "Games" you'll see my Console Game collection. that page shows how I' can organize data and provide relationships between data tables. The Consoles list and the games list are two different tables linked by a common ID. A column provides inclusion information as to what games belong to what console and relationship data is stored as Keys linking between tables

On the media page I've made a streaming server (to show I know infrastructure) and used a Silverlight Control (Developed by http://smf.codeplex.com/team/view, but skinned and coded by me) to provide a stream view of a recorded video of a coding session of mine.

I'm currently working on Creating a Single Sign On system between My Site and My Store. Over the next couple months I'm going to be adding live items for purchase to the store. Until both SSO and the items have been added, the store will be closed.

Themes will be available for this site as soon as I can create a new one. I plan on allowing those who have signed up to change the skin they view while logged in.

My Profile page is going to be a constant work in progress, I hope to have a full list with links to other sites and projects I'm working on, while including as much information as legally possible but without compromising the work I'm doing.
