Visual Lizard
Julian Moffatt
Julian is one of the founders of Visual Lizard Inc and a web/tech-junkie if there ever was one. He has a small collection of iPods (3 and counting) and a Blackberry 7250 for those times he is actually away from his computer.
Having been first introduced to computers at the tender age of 6, Julian has had at one point or another: an IBM PC XT, an Apple 2e, a Fujikama 286 (with a 256 colour monitor!!) through to the first computer he personally purchased, a glorious 486 PC with 40MBs of hard drive space and a 16-bit graphics card for $4200 in 1990. Coincidentally, that was his first loan as well. However, it was the 486 that led to the discovery of newsgroups (remember alt.rocknroll before Usenet?) and Pine, the worlds worst application for email ever. In-fact, some would say that his addiction to X-com and Pine caused him to take a break from University to pursue "something to do with computers dad". The rest is history as they say.
He works with a MacBook Pro in the office and is equally at home in front of Linux, Windows or OS X operating systems. He is project manager, design shepherd (he speaks designer fluently and has been known to run in certain design circles under an alias) and CSS guru. He also brow beats the guys in the office about accessibility, Search Engine Optimization and the importance of music to the soul.
When Julian is not actually working, he can be found enjoying time at the hockey rink with the guys, beating small synthetic dimpled balls across acres of manicured land or just hanging out with family and friends at home or the cottage.
In spite of all of the above, Julian has an awesome wife, two crazy-cute daughters (5 and 3), 2 cats and a dog that has moved out citing breach of contract under the "no-child-and-dog-cohabiting" clause. She visits from time to time, but can be found relaxing on a pile of sheep-skins at the grandparents house most days.

On The Road To A New Web Site - Photography
In 1996, when we started Visual Lizard, we didn’t have a web site. The Internet had just started to appear on the landscape of everyday use. In fact, at the time, there wasn’t even a web host in Winnipeg that had a working server, but that is a different story. One of our first...
Visual Lizard Launches the Women's Health Clinic Site

Happy Earthday 2010
Photo credit: NASA Kyleigh woke me up this morning with "Happy EARTH DAY!" and a song about earth. It was pretty cool actually, even though it was 6am. So to honour that childhood enthusiasm, we are going to assemble the Visual Lizard BEST of Earthday right here. The Official Earth Day...
Fieldnotes, Evernote and Scanning in Written Words
I freely admit that I have an unhealthy addiction to FieldNotes notebooks. Something about them makes me feel smarter when I use them. Maybe it is the fact that I fill up pages so quickly because of the small size? At any rate, I now have a rather large collection of filled notebooks. The problem...
