http://www.deepgraysea.com/ The deep gray sea website is the evolving portfolio of Michael Micheletti, Seattle-area web designer. The site features photographs, code samples, links to previously created sites and screenshots of web applications. Topics include design, music, faith and family.

Anime, fiction, technical books, graphic novels. This may be the longest "good reads of" article I've done yet, and the irony is that this is just the best stuff. Hope you find something you like here.

Maybe sixteen if you count the Slate article. Don't worry, it didn't go to my head.

The WAVE Web Communicator is the result.

The Bahá'í Prayers website now includes prayers in more than 80 languages. Sat, 26 Nov 2011 19:49:58 GMT http://www.deepgraysea.com/sites.htm http://www.deepgraysea.com/slprogresswheel.htm For a recent Silverlight project, I needed to come up with a progress wheel animation that would work within a DataTemplate. I found some examples that relied on code-behind to start the animation by navigating through page elements, but that looked like the hard way. I came up with another approach that works entirely in XAML.

My favorite books, manga, and anime of the year 2010 follow. Let's start 2011 out right by being honest and putting the anime right up on top. Also true to life is the slightly-behind-schedule delivery of the 2010 list in early 2011. But don't worry, I should have the 2011 list done no later than 2013...

Big Deal you say. Before I actually tried to do this, I wouldn't have rubbed two brain cells together worrying about it. But then I spent days trying to figure out how RIM's Graphics.drawShadedFilledPath() method works so that I could make a good-looking button. Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:17:18 GMT http://www.deepgraysea.com/bbroundedrect.htm http://www.deepgraysea.com/newdesktop.htm Early this year a big project fell into my lap: I was given the opportunity to redesign the WAVE Desktop Communicator. This is the most popular client application for Twisted Pair Solutions' WAVE software, which lets people with computers talk with people with radios, people with telephones, people with satellites halfway across the world, etc. Let's subtitle this page "What I did With My Summer Vacation" since I pretty much worked nonstop on this beast during Seattle's warmest season and now have the geeky pallor to prove it.
