A few notable things I’ve worked on between updates:

KCRW Fringe Benefits iPhone Application – Uses the iPhone’s GPS capabilities to automatically find businesses in an area that have discounts for KCRW subscribers.

Redesigned homepage and Eclectic24 – Rebranding (and reprogramming) of the 24hr KCRW online music channel by Chris Douridas. The webpage ties into various APIs such as last.fm for band info/pictures, RSS news feed, and the flash media player/KCRW track list system.

5ive Things - A new blog where KCRW personalities can share favorite things about culture in LA. Built as a custom Wordpress theme.

It’s a 2002 Stanford study that addresses web design and credibility. Aquick summary from the study:

The data showed that the average consumer paid far more attention to the superficial aspects of a site, such as visual cues, than to its content. For example, nearly half of all consumers (or 46.1%) in the study assessed the credibility of sites based in part on the appeal of the overall visual design of a site, including layout, typography, font size and color schemes.

The McCabe’s at 50 Plone page I created is a finalist in the 2nd Annual National Entertainment Journalism Awards by The Los Angeles Press Club for Best Feature Online.

UPDATE: The McCabe’s page was beat by the LA Times — it’s still pretty cool to have been a finalist.
