The Blog
Here’s a bunch of stuff I’ve written. I like to write about CSS, XHTML, JavaScript, PHP and anything I feel that I’m good enough at to let others know about. Occasionally, you’ll find me writing about something that I know nothing about, like movies, books or life in general. That’s when the good times start a rollin’
If you like anything that you have read, please comment. It keeps me motivated 
A Bit About Me
My name is Rogie, formerly Jesse (long story) and Komodo Media is my site. Currently, this site is a business, a blog, an experiment lab, and an area to express myself creatively on the web.
I am a father, a husband, a youth leader and a web designer, illustrator and blogger. I love designing, especially with vectors. I get giddy about using CSS and newsk00l JavaScript to create sweet stuff.
If you want to know more about me, hit me up on twitter or email me and we can chat more.
About This Site
This site was hand-built by me. 99% of the graphics were produced using Adobe Fireworks. This site is a mixture of a love of jungles, reptiles, swiss-family robinson, a butt-load of coffee, a love for jQuery, PNG images, inspiration from other designers, and a desire to create my own mark on the interweb. Oh, and yeah, this site was made using a Mac (however, I think you could still pull it off on a PC).
If you want to know about the technologies involved in this site, here ya go:

- ZoomBox
jQuery Image Zooming Plugin
- CSS

Komodo Media, Through The Years
Komodo Media, as of this writing, is on its 4th redesign. Each version expresses some part of my personality, as all of my redesigns were very personal. Version 2 was really the start of something big. That’s when I hooked up some mad JavaScript and got some recognition in web galleries as well as covered in Web Designing magazine. Version 3 kept the ball rolling, as I received much recognition and gallery showcasing as well. One can only hope for version 4
Trying to get ahold of me?
Yo, thanks for visiting my site. I hope you found something you like around here, better yet, something you love. If you are interested in chatting with me, feel free to. If you are interested in my design services, I’ll be honest - I have limited time, but I’d love to help you. Small projects are typically easier, say an illustration, a logo, etc. I may have time for a smaller website.
If you have questions or comments about a blog entry, feel free to hit me up. I generally am pretty fast at returning emails, but no promises. However, throwing a coffee my way may help fuel the conversation
Welcome to the Jungle
Komodo Media is a tiny web design studio and blog created, inspired by and maintained by Rogie King. I specialize in illustration, identity design, jQuery, JavaScript and am somewhat of a CSS/xHTML freak. I’m pretty good with databases, PHP and Flash, but my heart loves and lives in the design and front-end scripting world.
This site is a hybrid of sorts. At the moment, it is more of a journal where I discuss the work I do and the various things that inspire me around the interwebs. It’s also a great place to creatively dump what inspires me, which at the moment appears very islandish/reptilian in nature. I think I might be obsessed with jungles, which most likely stemmed from my love of Swiss Family Robinson and Disney movies as a kid.
If getting to know me is your bag, head on over to the about section to find out more.
