Check out the slideshow and slideshow builder tool that I'm currently working on. The builder is still a work in progress, but it's getting there.
Easy to use tools:
Currently in development:
Site and Content management tools - slick and easy to use!
While I am engaged in commercial enterprise, your kind donation to support development of publicly accessible tools is greatly appreciated!
Application (according to wordnet):
1: diligence, (a diligent effort) - "it is a job requiring serious application"
2: a program that gives a computer instructions that provide the user with tools to accomplish a task - "he has tried several different word processing applications"
We are all too familiar with application and applications. The unfortunate fact tends to be that using applications(2) requires far too much application(1). The flip-side is that developers who employ sufficient application(1) in developing an application(2) can turn out very usable and sometimes even enjoyable software tools for our use.
I invite you to explore some of my applications and would like to hear from you regarding their utility and ease of use:
Vertical multi-level menu builder: Building upon the fine work of Stu Nicholls, this tool allows the creation of multi-level, fly-out menus with sub menus up to five-deep.

Online site and content management
As a commercial venture, I am working diligently to complete a fully featured site management tool including content management built around the excellent javascript editor tinyMCE developed by MoxieCode. The application is being developed in VB.net with extensive client side code coupled with AJAX to make for an overall excellent user experience. To date (7/6/07) the content manager is completely functional and includes some very nifty features:
- As close to WYSIWYG performance as anything I have seen on the web.
- The ability to have multiple editable elements in a page without the clutter of multiple editors - all of the controls stay in one place regardless of the element being edited. (This page has 5 different editable elements.)
- tinyMCE is pluggable and there are a number of extremely handy plugins that I have not even explored yet as I have been focussing on basic functionality.
