Academic Papers (NOTE: I only post those papers that I know have absolutely no chance of being plagarized by someone evil and even lazier than I - and then only when I have a good reason to.)
A Late November Simulation (POL200.0C-00/01 B)
I got an A+ in CSC226, but none of the programs I've made so far are innovative or portable enough to be worth sharing. Check back here later.
local joe - At the time I made this up, poor Joe hadn't updated his page for weeks. Only the front page is available here, and though I admit that my 'humor' is sketchy at best (I thought that it was a total scream at the time), I still say take a look because you can drag your mouse pointer over his photos and see the ALT text I wrote to go with his different facial expressions. Also note the 'dates' of his postings. Yes, Joe is aware of this, and he's also aware that I'm not going to try anything like this again for a long, long while. You know what they say about glass houses...

Neil's Opinion - My cousin Neil
is given the space to vent his feelings. [:03, 320 x 240 QuickTime (MOV),
718K, with audio]
Basin Head - Kids jumping off the
wharf bridge into the run. Lots of splashing. [:26, 320 x 240 QuickTime
(MOV), 5.1M, with audio]
Greenwich A
- A simple 360º-pan of the shore portion of the Greenwich Dunes Trail
at Prince Edward Island National Park. [:20, 320 x 240 QuickTime (MOV),
3.9M, with audio]
Me - This is my "highly, highly inauspicious
video debut." I set the self-timer and didn't notice when it came on. Then
I forgot that I could set the camera to 'unlimited' record length, so I
get cut off. I decided not to do a second take. [:30, 320 x 240 QuickTime
(MOV), 6,109K, with audio]
Uncle Shane A
- I told him to do something funny, so I could see if the video recording
worked on Souris High's newest digital camera. [:10, 320 x 240 QuickTime
(MOV), 2,108K, silent]
Kevin Richter Meets A Wall A*
- The classic .avi gets a new home at willmatheson.com. Only 548K!
The poor guy suffered a concussion, but he's okay now. Backstory: This
was a Charles P. Allen High School Student's Council event that had people
running with boxes on their heads for prizes. After Kevin completed the
race, he didn't hear that he should stop running. [:02, 160 x 120 Audio

Experiment
Legacy (older willmatheson.com front page designs)
2002a - Brought
in new navigation features. Followed by 2002a-2 (first,
second).
2002 A
- A long ugly period, but it features a box with a poem called "Snow" that
can not be found anywhere else on willmatheson.com (you think I'm going
to open up a poetry section for one lousy poem?).
Summer 2001 - Brought
along the whole "this is a website" feeling.
Spring 2001 - Move
along, nothing to see here.
Shut Down! - We hope not to
see anything like this much.
The Will Matheson Web HQ - The old,
and still the best. Adapting it to fit willmatheson.com was a pain
in the
A View from the Solarium - Relates
to Charles P. Allen High School. If this place was still named Will Matheson's
CPA-Related Geocities Page when you were last here, than whoah Nellie,
you haven't been here in a while.
Site 'B' - Relates to nothing. Basically
a piece of crap, except for the Xenogears Guide.
Site 'B'2: Critic At Large - A CRS
experiment. Worked out pretty well.
Freshman At Large - Relates to Saint Mary's
University. A breakthrough in "William Matheson Web Design."
Projects (also: full project descriptions)
Will's Obligatory CRS12 Page
My
TalkCity Page - I set this up to help a friend. (off-site)
The Halifax Source -
Part of my final exam for my second attempt at CRS12.
"A Brief Introduction to Star
Wars" by Colin Brown A - At this point,
Colin still sort of owes me a favor. =) (2003 Update: It turns out this
project wasn't even for Colin! I wonder how the poor guy who needed
it to pass explained the "by Colin Brown" in the animated GIF to his teacher.)
