TeamSD: Adventures of Lawyer Girl and Demian Man

SDCC - Tron Banners

Whew! What a tiring weekend. We just got back from my first trip to the mecca of Comic Conventions (San Diego Comic Con) and Jaci’s first trip to San Diego evar. I have to say, the trip was fun, exciting, hectic, crazy, and I’d do it all over again (although I can’t say the same thing for Jaci).

We were greeted in San Diego where every street sign was lined with a Tron poster and buildings had epic banners of epicness.

There were celebrity sitings galore as the 1st night we were there we saw Charisma Carpenter outside our hotel, followed by eating at the same restauraunt as LL Cool J, Lou Feringo, and Danny Devito. We then walked by the entire cast of V, saw the King of Vampires(Mississippi?) from True Blood, Peter Jackson, among others.

The trip was long an tiring but without further delay here are some of our pictures!

We got up bright and early on Friday to get in line for the convention and on the way Jaci stubbed her toe (not a good start to the day) and remained grouchy for the majority of that morning. Then again, who wouldn’t be grouchy when you had to wait in the line pictures below.

In line at SDCC

Little did we know(since this was our first time) was that Friday is actually a relatively mellow day and it would only continue to get crazier and crazier.

In the convention:

Random celebrity sitings:

New cool art:

Jaci and I refer to this one as the “Taylor Swift as Supergirl” piece. This is probably one of the favorite pieces in my collection now. Also Scott drew this on a giant board, I didn’t full measure it but I think its 18×22 or something.

Scott Clark - Supergirl

Omar hasn’t done a Supegirl before and he was concerned with how it turned out, but I was blown away. This was such an incredibly cute and awesome Supergirl!

Omar Dogan - Supergirl

I have another Supergirl from Philip but once I saw him working with ink wash I knew I needed to have another one! Well here it is:

Philip Tan - Supergirl

I’ve been a huge fan of Stephane’s for a long time but he’s never come up to the Nor Cal shows. Once I found out he was going to be at SDCC I knew I had to grab a piece and I lucked out!

Stephane Roux - Supergirl

The Udon team continues to blow me away with their art style. This is another take on Supergirl by Eric Vedder!

Eric Vedder - Supergirl

I have quite a few more pieces that I haven’t shown here, you can check them all out in my personal collection at http://demianlee.com/photos

Well in an effort to beef up my web devleopment category as well hopefully provide some page rank to this new site I’ve developed, I’ll start posting some of the new websites that I’ve been developing and working on (well, at least the fun ones).

How it got started:
I met Terry at a comic book convention a couple of years ago (Super Con in San Jose) and we somehow got talking about some previous issues he had with his website and I offered to help out if he ever needed it. Recently we got in touch and developed this beauty below!

Terry Dodson's homepage

Terry Dodson's Portfolio

Design: All of the design was done by Terry Dodson

Development: Built this mostly with plain html/css, just using php for includes and other simple functions. Used a little bit of jquery to get some fade effects and for the portfolio slideshows.

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve updated the wishlists for me and jaci in the navigation above.

I’ve had the functionality updates done for a little over a year but just got too lazy to implement the back-end to update it. Some new functionality that the wishlist provides includes: new jquery sorting, print page option which removes all styling and prints all the notes, additional sidebar navigation, and new icons that you can hover over which will say when the item was added or if it was updated recently. The big new edits were in the admin section which most of you won’t see, but I enabled one click completion, one click delete, and a tabbed interface to allow for quicker loading.

Some things I plan to work on still / troubleshoot: The entire teamsiudemian.com domain seems to be running a bit slow. I’m not sure what might be causing that but I’ll keep looking into. The lag seems to also pass on to the wishlist. I’d also like to take a look into adding auto completion, shared wishlists, and hidden wishlists for the admin side.

Anyhoo, if you guys run into any problems with the new wishlist let me know so I can take a look into it.

Oh… and btw, my bday is next week. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
