I created a political website!

By Dennis Guten on May 6, 2011 No Comments

Yes, that’s correct. I actually made a political campaign website.

The site is for a friend, John DeMattia, for the Richardson, TX City Council Elections coming up on May 14th. The site address is: www.johnforrichardson.com and it’s a little six-pager I put together using my “Antares” website framework. The site is called: www.johnforrichardson.com.

John is running because he has witnessed the current city government mismanage funds and get the city into debt by making unwise choices. John wants to get Richardson, TX back on a fiscally sound standing and help the city by serving.

He is a member of an organization called The Richardson Citizens Alliance, which is running a slate of candidates to oppose the Richardson Coalition candidates, some of whom are the incumbents in the race.

Antares is a small framework I have been working on for a while and have finished and put the final touches on. This was the first real test to see just how much time I could save using it as a starting base of code for a site.

It essentially gives me a frame of header, content and footer with all margins, padding, divs, CSS, HTML, SlideShowPro (a flash based slide show software) and Lightbox (image zoom effect where the background grays out) all pre-coded. You just create a certain sized header and footer and add copy and images and the site fills in pretty quickly.

In this case, from start to finish it took 2.25 hours to make the site.

Huck Pac – vertical day today – Huckabee talks issues

By Dennis Guten on July 23, 2008 No Comments

As many of you know, I supported Mike Huckabee for President during the primaries.

Huck Pac

He has since started Huck Pac, a site devoted to trying to bring the issues forward in this campaign.

Some of the topics he would like America to discuss on what he is calling “Vertical Day” are…

• How would you control spending in Washington?

• How would you make America energy independent?

• What would you do to improve our education system?

• What would you do to improve our health care system?

• What sort of tax reform do you think America needs to boost our economy?

• What steps would you take to promote conservation and good stewardship of the environment?

Huck Pac

My own thoughts are i think we should get energy independent as quick as we can by whatever means we as a great country have. The ideas are here. the people are here. Get government out of the way and let’s get America on the problem.

So let’s start chatting and please do go visit the Huck Pac site and help Mike Huckabee discuss our country’s issues. who else wants to help get this word out?

New Yorker cover image of Barack and Michelle Obama

By Dennis Guten on July 15, 2008 No Comments

Ok, so here’s the question…has the New Yorker Magazine gone too far in the cover image for the current issue?

New Yorker cover

The cover depicts Barack Obama in a robe and turban and his wife Michelle Obama with a huge afro haircut and a machine gun slung over her shoulder.

There is also an inside story in the New Yorker Magazine about Barack Obama’s political upbringings in Chicago from 1995 on.

So what do you think about the New Yorker’s choice of putting this cartoon on the cover?
