Joey doing a great job describing what’s great about Jacksonville and where its going from here. I believe its going to be a monthly thing associated with Art Walk so keep a look out for new presentations this summer.
Great presentation from nGen Works. Lots of great insight on the design process and client management with a little sexual innuendo thrown in for good measure.
With new social networks launching everyday most start with the same basic features. Bloggers have wordpress, mephisto, typo and other open source solutions. Yet there isn’t an open source social network platform, until now.
Built with Ruby on Rails this open source project has all the basic features you will need to setup a basic social network.
Created by the guys at Less Everything, Lovd By Less allows people to rapidly develop social networking tools without crazy feature bloat. I love how simple everything is and how things aren’t assumed on the developer/designer end. It provides the basics and fundamentals. No more, no less.
I know, I know. Where are the actual pictures of the presentation? For some reason we had the darkest presentation room ever, and that made for really crappy pictures. And popping random flashes during a talk is usually a taboo at these events so I’m left with the social hour before.
While the movie “The Year of Getting to Know Us” was being filmed last year, a bunch of my friends were seeing Jimmy Fallon around town. I am a big Fallon fan, yes Jimmy Fallon has fans and people do love the song Idiot Boyfriend. So you can imagine I was anxious to know what the movie was about, when it was releasing etc etc. I think it’s fun to watch the trailer below and recognize some of the areas in Jacksonville where they were filming. I know that New Yorkers, Bostonians, Miami-ites and San Diegans get to see this stuff regularly, but not us Jacksonviller-ian-ites (that’s what we call ourselves).
Feel free to point out all the places you recognize in the clip below. Kind of like one of those Highlights magazines, where you find all the missing things on the back page.
