Project Launch: Body Ami
October 29, 2008
Today we launched a website for Body Ami (an organic, health product company in Napa, California). It’s a beautiful site designed by the folks at Boldium. Boldium did most of the heavy lifting and I came in toward the end to help polish things up. Body Ami’s site uses the Drupal content management system and some custom modules. Watch for more new products and website features on the Body Ami blog.
Project Launch: Accolo EcoPartnership
October 17, 2008
I recently got to help plan and develop a great project for Accolo’s Ecopartnership program. Accolo is a global recruiting company based in the San Francisco Bay Area that focuses on helping companies in the high-tech, marketing and sustainability industries. The EcoPartnership program offers financial incentives to help Accolo’s clients become “green businesses”. If your company is interested in becoming more environmentally sustainable of if they offer services to help others become sustainable, you should check out the program.

I love creative data visualizations. TwittEarth is a fun way to watch Twitter post from around the world with a 3D globe and cute like characters.
Fairwell LinuxWorld
October 9, 2008
The annual festival of nerdy-ness LinuxWorld will be changing its name and focus next year. Here’s a snip from Eric Brown’s post RIP LinuxWorld:
The largest conference devoted to Linux technology is changing its name to embrace open source software on other operating systems (OSes). Next August, LinuxWorld will relaunch as the OpenSource World Conference & Expo, but will retain existing LinuxWorld features, says show organizer IDG World Expo.
LinuxWorld has been going on for about 10 years and I attended several of the San Francisco ones with my techy cohorts at Clear Ink. It was always a great relax, check out geeky gizmos and pick up tons of free t-shirts. One year we even got to see a great keynote presentation by Lawerence Lessig about “Free Culture”.
Over the last couple of years attendance seemed to be dropping but I’ll miss LinuxWorld, but I’ll always be able to relive it with this touching montage video of my last trip, assembled by Jim Kwak with music by Ric Seaberg.
