Latest: COMMON, SXSW

Welcome to the FearLess Cottage. As alluded to in my last post with the Vimeo-Facebook embed form, I’ve started an internship here where I’ll be helping Alex & Ana Bogusky, Rob Schuham and some other really smart, really nice folks to launch COMMON. The concept, briefly, is to build a socially and environmentally sustainable brand that can launch any number of independent, loosely connected ventures. In the midst of getting rolling with all this, I took my maiden voyage to SXSW Interactive as part of Boulder Digital Works’ 20+-member delegation. Not surprisingly, the highlights of my trip all happened away from the throngs at the convention center.

Embed a Vimeo video as FBML

I spent a while earlier today trying to embed some Vimeo videos in a FBML box on COMMON’s Facebook page and it was kind of a pain. Facebook doesn’t like Vimeo’s new iframe-based player, and you have to specify a thumbnail image for an embedded flash object. So in case anyone else is trying to do the same thing, I made a little form. It’s not pretty but it gets the job done.
