I created the main website for my high school. This included the design, photos, layout, and coding. This was done as an extracurricular project for the school with no reimbursement.
Website: CSIHighschool.org
Technology: WordPress, PHP, HTML, CSS, jQuery
You may have noticed that everybody is out to make a buck at all software these days. Look at the Apple App Store, for example. The free apps are nice and all, but some real quality and handy tools, it can only be found in the premium apps (mostly!).
As for web-based software, such as forums and support software, everything is expensive for that one person trying to start a new open-sourced project. They can either take a free project for a support system and get 1999 era quality code and features, or pay $500 for a license at a premium software suite. Free and Open Source code is definitely something that should be used more often, hint this is where I step in.
That new open source project needs some help tracking bugs and new suggestions for its new project. Let’s make it simple and very user-friendly. Working on a name for this endevaor, but I’d love to have some help. I am just a guy that is aiming to give back to a community that has so much amazing, open source software such as WordPress.
Have an idea or would like to get involved? Shoot me a tweet @talkingwithsean or you send me an e-mail at me@sean-fisher.com.
Update: Have you seen 68KB? Power to the community.
The old site.
Well, i’ve updated the website, again. Haha, I had fun this time though! Check it out at http://talkingwithsean.com or follow me on twitter @talkingwithsean
Just to put it out there, I also have seanfisher.info as sort of a link to all of my social profiles, such as Facebook, Twitter (@talkingwithsean 
), Last.FM, etc. Have fun with it!
God, social media it becoming more and more popular each day.
It’s an unavoidable fact. You can use a social networking presence for jobs, friends, and more. That social presence can establish friendships in some pretty neat places, opening up job opportunities and allow you to build your resume even more (you know, that thing people think isn’t important until you get denied a job because of it). Networking efficiently (there are books about it) is key. I just ask one thing of you: talk to Twitter or Tumblr like you would talk to your mother.
Cursing of Facebook? Racist on Twitter? You know, if a job or a college saw that, what would they think?
Speaking of social, you can follow me @talkingwithsean or at my new Tumblr, http://findingme.sean-fisher.com/. Good luck!

Making Websites or the Pool
The summer is already going quite quickly, and it’s onlyRecently, I have had the pleasure (and time) to improve some websites very dear to me. The International Insider and CSI High School websites have been in dire need of a redesign for quite some time. I hope that I can recieve some positive feedback on these redesigns as well as see these websites develop into a community in some sense. Now I really see how hard it is to obtain a visitor’s attention!

Oh and did I mention that both websites are powered by the wonderful, open-source WordPress? WordPress 3.0 has some amazing features!
Climate Change: it’s the one topic that everybody knows about but doesn’t feel like fixing. As experts have put it, it is one of the greatest threats to humanity. It is already having in impact around the globe. Why haven’t we done anything about it?

Story #2 Narrative
You can say I am just a bit nerdy. But the way that the internet has affected me is quite astounding. I really think that it is something I will do in the future. From web sites to full blown web applications, there’s no limit. I also think that I can use the internet, now, to define who I am as a person. By using social networks, you can develop a personal profile. That is, of course, if these sites aren’t blocked (censored!). The internet also allows me to achieve what my school calls a 21st Century Learner. By utilizing modern technoligies, we can get ready for the world and for our future/
