Hulabalub tech and design event guide

Thursday, 21 January 2010 @ 15:35

Local artist, developer, and entrepreneur Jason Lynes has launched a new project called Hulabalub. It is a free registry for technology and design events. He’s done some excellent work making browsing and posting a smooth and pleasant experience.

Hulabalub is the definitive guide to every tech and design event in the world.
Our unique filtering lets you search and subscribe to all conferences, lectures, parties, even dinners and drinks, further filtered by location, speaker, topic.”

Conference Scheduler

Monday, 27 July 2009 @ 15:50

When an internal technology conference succeeded beyond estimation and drew more interested than imagined, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints decided to expand the schedule, presenters, and audience the following year by including all domestic employees and local university institutes. To accomodate the dramatic increase in size, an advanced scheduler was required.

Working together with three independent teams of developers, we also took the opportunity to use the tool as a case study to highlight the pros and cons (a “bake off”) of several cutting-edge technologies such as asyncronous javascript, Google Gears, and FLEX. The app presented an exciting challenge of creating something that was flexible and powerful and yet was ridiculously easy and obvious to use. My primary goal was to allow the user to browse the catalog (searching by authors, times, and tags), flag sessions of interest, and “window shop” different time slots, and then register their personalized sechedule all within a single screen.

New Omniture.com Launched

Wednesday, 4 March 2009 @ 11:46

The Omniture Creative Services team recently redesign and launched a new version of the Omniture.com homepage, and all new category and product page designs.

The goal of the site design was an increased focus on brand to demand, and a way to interactively show the Omniture Online Marketing Suite. This was accomplished using a new JQuery javascript, and a tiered rollover design. Also new are a person-based offer box, and multi-tabbed Brand box area. Site is tagged with 8 Mboxes for using Omniture Test&Target.

While the goal was increased Brand and design, the new site actually offers MORE areas for demand—63 links to offers in total!

Post to group through Google Wave

Thursday, 15 October 2009 @ 16:35

I have created a Google Group for us so that you may “wave” to everyone in the group via Google Wave. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a pretty URL or email address because they were already used and Google has a lame rule that they can only be used once, even if the previous instance has been deleted (which was by me, which makes it even more lame).

Visit the Google Group home page for more information. Join the group and then add the address “utah-graphic-arists@googlegroups.com” to your Google Contacts list. You can then add the group address to new waves and everyone will have access to it.

Note that Wave will bark that that user does not have a valid Wave account when you try to add it. Ignore that and simply strike the return key and the address will be added to your contact list.
