Digital TV Officially Delayed

Congress voted yesterday to delay the DTV switch until June 12th. This will become official once President Obama signs the bill. Only time will tell if another 4 months will be enough for people to be prepared or if officials will call for another delay.

Arts & Entertrainment Adorn Facebook FunSpace

For those who haven’t noticed, eclectic art and entertainment is starting to emerge on Facebook FunSpace. This example is the brain child of Slide Inc., which builds social media entertainment applications, and Katalyst Media, an Ashton Kutcher-led production firm. See the Keep your eyes on Slide. The company has a lot of heat behind it and is doing some fantastic stuff. There might be ideas there about the evolution of our clients’ sites.

Be Outside in Idaho

Addressing the troubling rise of what’s being referred to as “nature deficit disorder” is the driving force behind a new initiative that deems 2009 “Be Outside – Idaho Children in Nature” year. More than 100 state and federal agencies are partnering with educators, health care professionals and private entities to help raise awareness about the importance of children establishing a meaningful and lasting bond with the great outdoors.

In support of this initiative, Drake Cooper worked with Idaho’s Department of Parks and Recreation to design a website encouraging nature-deficient youth to go outside and play. The website, designed by Justin Yonk of Drake Cooper, includes 101 ideas for ways to play outside, the latest news and events happening outside in Idaho, information on how to get involved with the initiative, Idaho maps featuring destinations and attractions and plenty of other goodies.

Check out the site here: http://www.visitidaho.org/children-in-nature/.

Then get offline and get outside!
