The Start of Something COMMON

I didn’t exactly come to Boulder Digital Works to help start a bike company. But, sure enough, I’ve been involved – at least to some degree – in the early stages of Common Cycles as part of a bigger ongoing role designing a user experience and writing code for COMMON.is. Anyways, my role as more of an observer than a participant in the creation of Common Cycles has been an interesting chance to think about the bike industry in general and what I was actually doing in it. Something I realized: Passion isn’t special. Humility is.

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.

Props for Zombies, thoughts on barcodes

I’m pretty stoked that my recent BDW project Zombies Vs. Hippies has been well received by ad critics and the BuddyPress community. Here’s what we actually learned in the process.
