Sean Connelly

Personal Website and Blog

Hey there, my name is Sean Connelly, and this is my personal website, blog, and portfolio. It's constantly changing as I play around with WordPress, PHP, responsive themes, and other web stuff I find interesting, so don't be suprised when you see something new.

Right now, this is a custom minimalist style theme that I'm working on using Skeleton as a front end framework and self-hosted WordPress (obviously) as the guts. Resize the window to see some things change, and check it out on your iPad, iPhone, Android, tablet, or whatever.

HuluRandom.com – A Sunday experiment with Hulu’s hidden API

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013 In: Work.

I wish we just had a random button to turn something on that we would never normally watch. Said my girlfriend on Sunday morning “I can do that.” As Netflix/Hulu Plus users who have officially written off traditional cable as a viable source of entertainment, we’ve adopted a new way of watching TV. We sit [...]

UX vs. UI Infographic – The Difference Between User Experience and User Interface

Thursday, October 18th, 2012 In: Blog.

Last week, I wrote a post about writing project requirements, and in the process found this awesome little infographic on the difference between User Experience and User Interface. It’s such a great way of representing the subject of UX vs. UI that I felt like it deserved some deeper explanation and accreditation. The infographic uses [...]

The Death of SEO – Infographic

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012 In: Blog.

As a webmaster, freelance designer/developer, and WordPress junkie, I come across SEO questions daily. I’ve met all of the personalities in the left column, and can’t figure out for the life of me which one of them is craziest. I feel like the entire business of internet marketing is so diluted between sleazy approaches, snake [...]

This is version 3 of the unfinished project I’ve been working on. It’s been almost a year since I’ve even touched on this, and I’m ready to start it over again from scratch (surprise…). It’s amazing how much you learn about WordPress by wrenching it into something it wasn’t initially intended to do. Someday…someday…

Peacocking.me

Sunday, September 16th, 2012 In: Work.

It can be anything from a sequence covered cowboy hat and leather pants, a humungous body kit on your Dodge Stratus, a shirt with a picture of yourself wearing the same shirt on it, or that 35 [...]
