jQuery Lightbox / Modal Plugin
There are SO MANY different types of lightbox scripts in the wild, and while most of them are absolutely fantastic (shadowbox being one of my favorites) most of them are very limited in the control that they give you over the style, function and code. To make things worse, most of these lightbox scripts are also 5k or bigger, which is 5k more than you need sometimes. If you're like me, and you do a lot of customization or want to tweak your code to be as fast as possible, then you'll want this simple little jquery lightbox plugin. Style your lightbox exactly how you'd like and then simple invoke the modal() function and you'll be able to trigger the lightbox.

Bordo Bello 2010
Bordo Bello is an AIGA event combining two of my favorite things: art and skateboarding. We had the opportunity to volunteer at this event this year, working outdoors as part of the setup crew and security. We hung out with Yellow Designs Stunt Team all night and watched them perform some amazing BMX tricks in a tiny space. Overall we met amazing people and got to see some incredible art!
