Google goes GPS

Sunday, November 12th, 2006

Google has already integrated Google Maps for Mobile for over 300 models of cell phones, where you get real-time traffic, detailed directions, integrated search results, easily movable maps, and satellite imagery. Now they are offering GPS enabled maps for the Helio Drift phone.

I can’t wait to see this on all the phones that have the Google Maps capabilities. I’ve always wanted a GPS unit for my car but never felt like giving up the cash for the extra little benefit. I’m sure all those companies are scared of what might happen to their market after everyone has GPS inside of their phone.

Jenn Air Launches

Friday, November 10th, 2006

I have been really busy lately, so I haven’t had to much time to do much of anything besides coding. I was excited today though when I went to the Maytag Jenn Air website and saw that it was actually launched. This was my first project that I was the lead Front-end Developer on such a well known E-Commerce site. Its not actually E-commerce, they don’t sell anything on the site. Besides not having the basket and checkout process everything else is there.

I was responsible for all of the production work up until the Engineering started so anything after that you can’t blame me for LOL. It was a great experience working with the people at Fry Inc and my dive into working with large scale websites. I learned so much from being there and it has showed me that I truly do love the web development process. Even if its not perfect all the time.

There are still two sites to launch this January that I got to work on while contracting with Fry so keep on the lookout.
