Creative Creature is a web development and design company working with clients in the art, education, and government sectors to create beautiful, useful web content.
It is also the home of Johnny Rodgers, multimedia developer and dedicated pixel-mechanic. I primarily focus on web application development with Ruby on Rails, XHTML and CSS design, interface design, and web standards consulting. I also work with JavaScript, Flash, PHP, XML, Processing, Java, and whatever other tools are needed for the job. I do my best to comply with web standards and best practices, and to contribute to progressive environmental and social causes. Most of all, I love learning about new web technologies and open source tools. I write about these and other topics on my blog, Recursive Loop.
