Introducing API Search PHP Script for Shopping.com

e2 — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 06:43:58 +0000

Shopping.com API keyword search results at your fingertips. API Search PHP Script for shopping.com allows you to search for any product you see on Shopping.com. Get those results and put them on your site. Giving you the flexibility to show specific products or keyword searches on the shopping.com API results.

Shopping.com has an API you can send queries too, but no easy way to implement them into your site. API Search PHP Script handles that for you. Send a keyword search to the PHP Script and the API Search PHP Script will return the results from shopping.com’s API.

API Product Result PHP Script for Shopping.com

Shopping.com has an API which you can use, but there isn’t much on the way of available PHP scripts that you can use to parse their API. I created a small script that allows you to display a number store offers for a specific product.

See the API product result PHP script in action here.

New Photography

Yeah so I tried to take a photo a day and failed miserable, with work, kids, and just a plan lack of time I failed to complete my goal of taking a photograph a day. I was disappointed in my lack of being able to complete my goal, but I still enjoy trying to take photographs.

Here are a couple of shots I took on a recent vacation to Oregon:

Daily Photo Project

So a few weeks back I was able to buy a new Nikon D200 with a 18-135mm lens, as part of my quest to be a better photographer I decided to start taking a photo a day.

Easy enough right? But I want to challenge myself and take a descent photo a day, or just maybe a unique photo.

Here are some of the photos I’ve taken so far. I’m posting them to www.flickr.com:

Take a look, leave a comment, tell me what you think of my photos so far.

Bought a House, Lots of Work but not the web kind

e2 — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 05:20:47 +0000

So I’ve been working on my house that my Wife and I bought about 3 weeks ago and it’s kept me from working on website stuff, but it’s been a blast to get some physical construction work done. We bought a house built in ‘79 and though it was in really good condition we wanted to do some upgrades and make the home feel more open.

We opened up the wall between the living room and the dinning room with 10 foot arched walkway and put to open 3 foot arches about 4 feet up the wall on the other side.

We are also updating the kitchen and a few other things. Here are some photos of the mess and construction.

Brandon Proctor Photography Launched

We officially launched Brandon Procotor Photography’s website. We’ve been working on it for awhile and were able to get all the content and he was able to get all the photos he wanted together, so we pushed it live.

Brandon’s site uses the (E)2 Photo Gallery and some cool effects for the mouse overs using mootools javascript library.

What’s your Favorite? You tell me!

I’ve been working on my own flavor of a Site Showcase. I love websites that highlight or feature good web design or cool and upcoming technology for the world wide web. I also love photography and I love seeing web sites that showcase it, so I decieded to combine the two and create: Favorite Photo Gallery - a website dedicated to showcasing amazing photography.

Add to My Favorites

As part of the Favorite Photo Gallery site, I am using Wordpress to manage the site. One of the major components is the “Add to My Favorites” functionality. A wordpress plugin I created myself. I hope to release it as a wordpress plugin sometime soon, but I’ll need to tweak it a little cause it’s so customized to Favorite Photo Gallery.

Features of “Favorite Photo Gallery”

Add to My Favorites
Featured Gallery of the Month
Rate Each photo gallery
Commenting on Each Gallery

If you’re using the (E)2 Photo Gallery, I’d also be excited to see that, and who knows you might even get highlighted. (Not that I’d be biased to it at all). Or if you know of any sweet photo gallery site, with cool photography, Suggest a Site/Photo Gallery to be showcased on Favorite Photo Gallery

(E)2interactive Showcased

e2 — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 20:22:43 +0000

I was showcased on a couple of web design showcase sites. Pretty excited to see my work on some sites that highlight good designed web sites.

I was shown on Screenalicious , Most Inspired, and Daily Slurp (click on 25th of Feb).

I love going to these kinds of sites, they always have good links to some pretty good looking web sites.

Here are couple of other Show case sites I like to visit.

Update: (E)2 Interactive has been added to a couple of more Site Showcases.

The New (e)2 Interactive

e2 — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 04:40:28 +0000

I’ve been working on updating e2interactive.com for at least six months. I finally was able to get it finished. I have a lot more to look at and some really cool downloads.

First off, check out the (E)² Photo Gallery

I’ve built a dynamic photo gallery using Mootools Javascript Library. The Gallery features: Smooth transitions between photos and photo sizes, 4 designs, thumbnails, and more.

I’ve updated my photography section (using (E)² Photo Gallery) with new photos and some of my latest work. I’ve also updated my Design Portfolio with my latest work. I’ve created a Resources section of my site where I list some great links to helpful websites that I use in design, photogaphy, and HTML CSS developement.

Take a look around, and let me know what you think.
