Oxygen Education Marketing - Website and Demo Reel

I was recently made project Leader at Oxygen Education, LLC for the internal Marketing Project. I was responsible for putting together a team of talent from my co-workers and we developed a website in 1 week www.o2ed.com and we also created a Demo Reel in 8 days currently located on YouTUBE Demo Reel I put in 77 hours in 8 days for the Demo Reel and my graphics team worked during lunch hours and we all came in on a Sunday evening, where I purchase the 3 of us steaks from Outback Steakhouse. Oxygen was nice enough to reimburse me for the costs of dinner and a pizza I had bought the team as a thank you for working extra hours outside of the regular 40 hour work week.

Learning / Lynda.com - PHP essential (10.3 hours)

I have been learning PHP in my free time for the past 2 weeks. I'm currently 75% done with a 10.3 hours course about the basics of PHP. The basics of programming PHP are very similar to elements found when programming Flash, so this has already proven to help me in my current job at Oxygen Education, as a Flash Graphics Developer.
