Perhaps the best place to start exploring science and nature in Northern California is now on the Web. As part of KQED’s public programming, their innovative Quest project produces television and radio stories exploring science, nature, and the environment. The project also focuses on the Web as the key media platform for forging connections with Bay Area residents.
Ideum worked with KQED to build a Quest site that presents the TV and radio broadcasts along with blog posts, photographs, educational guides, printable maps, and other supporting materials, allowing visitors to further explore topics covered in the broadcasts as well as learn about new topics.
The Quest site makes extensive use of Google Maps, Google Earth, and Flickr mashups to provide a media-rich, geo-coded view of the Bay Area and beyond. Visitors can follow mapped "explorations" in state parks, beaches, and other areas or watch HD-quality videos from research labs, universities, and other scientific hotspots. The Quest blog and integrated Flickr group provide ways for KQED viewers to become active participants as they explore the science and nature of Northern California.
Ideum developed a custom content management system (CMS) for the site using Ruby on Rails. Using this advanced Web application framework allowed Ideum’s development team to tackle challenges like an "explorations" mashup feature, which provides a framework for KQED staff to upload GPX files (GPS eXchange Format) to create paths and points on Google Maps and connect them to Flickr photographs.
Developed by Ideum with KQED Public Broadcasting in 2007. KQED currently maintains the site. To learn more about this project please visit our portfolio.
Not a whole lot of change on the reorganize view for Pages. It's a little clearer where the options fall within the window.

O'Reilly had a bookstand. Apparently around 10 copies of the pickaxe sold (which amazed me, as I had assumed everyone already owned it). They were also selling back-issues of Make.
"gem install that!"

i had to have this on a t-shirt, so i set one up at spreadshirt.
if you'd like one too, head over to this page:
https://www.spreadshirt.com/shop.php?op=article&article_id=1316033
i set it up with no mark-up, so you'll get it for "cost" (t-shirt + text = $12.90).
Almost everything inside our homes (and inside our offices) can be automated. We want to challenge your hacking skills to come up your favorite home or office automation. We'll be hosting with Rocky Moutain Ruby, so expect a huge turn-out and register early. Plus you'll be the first to hack on Chui - the socially intelligent doorbell. The winning team will receive a Chui Doorbell plus dinner and drinks with the founders Shaun Moore, and Nezare Chafni.

The Files (aka Resources) default view. Chris cleaned up the XHTML a bit so for smaller monitors it fails more gracefully then my XHTML. Still have the bucket but it feels a little better place on the right and obviously separate from the rest of the info.

This is a re-make of this shot (my most popular photo ever, viewed 500+ times).
My desk (and my life) have been upgraded with a few new items. VitalSource has been acquired and I'm the proud father of a beautiful baby girl. And by the way, I'd still rather be on Rails.

Dave Thomas rocked the house at UT's Taylor Hall where over 100 of us gathered to drink the ambrosia of metaprogramming followed by suds and burgers at the Crown and Anchor pub.

An archival site developed with the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Los Angeles
The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Library has kept records of artist installations at the museum since 1983. The records, kept in an internal system, were not available to public until the launch of this project. The MOCA Exhibition Archive takes the records and directly publishes them to the Web, allowing visitors and scholars to browse, search, and explore past installations at one of the world's premier modern art museums.
The look of the site is understated and modern, matching MOCA’s graphic style. The simplified design ensures that the site emphasis is squarely on the installation records and images. The MOCA Exhibition Archive main page, built in Adobe Flash, uses animated rollovers to link to the exhibition detail pages. These dynamic images offer visitors a visual means of engaging with the archives. Visitors can also browse by year or conduct full-text searches. Individual records include photographs and container lists (of objects that were in the installation). Full-screen version of the photographs can viewed and some installation records include audio files as well.
Along with developing a Flash-based browser for the front page of the site, Ideum developed a content management system (CMS) using Ruby on Rails. This custom application pulls project descriptions, installation views, and contents of the exhibitions into the Exhibition Archive site from standard (and existing) Encoded Archival Description (EAD) files written in XML. These files automatically generate the Website and provide thumbnails for the front-page browser. MOCA Library personnel upload EAD files through a web-based CMS, making it easy to modify or add new exhibitions to the public archives.
Developed by Ideum with Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.

dojo4 is a technology services provider and hacking collective located at 2030 17th Street in downtown Boulder, CO. It is managed by dojo4 llc, a partnership between @drawohara, @digidigo, @jlarrimore, and @hoosteeno.
dojo4’s domain of technology expertise includes massive custom Ruby on Rails application design and development; iPhone and mobile application development; UI design and production; and CMS implementation and customization, among others.
dojo4 is open daily. Visitors and inquiries are welcome. Check out Justin Crawford's blog for more goings ons around the dojo.
[About this Shoot: I met up with the 4 founders at their downtown Boulder "dojo", a new workspace they've acquired and modeled with a plethora of macbooks, toys, and various implements of destruction. These guys are coding Ninja's and can hack out any custom development you need.
It was great meeting them as they love what they do and make it a fun atmosphere to visit and work in. We crammed all four of them in a tiny bathroom and did a shot like something you'd see on an album cover as they're Rock Stars in their own right.]
slate now allows for the automatic creation of slideshows using slideshow pro. using one line you can link a set from the files section of slate to slideshow pro and embed it in your page. any option that you can modify in slideshow pro can be modified here. see an example of this.

A custom-built community site for exhibit developers
A community-based Website developed with the Association of Science-Technology Centers and Independent Exhibitions.
Too often the lessons learned designing and developing public exhibitions are not shared with other designers. ExhibitFiles is a place where exhibit developers and other museum professional can share their work and review exhibits created by their colleagues. Over the last two years, dozens of museum professionals have authored more than 200 case studies and reviews of exhibits and exhibitions.
Along with the ability to post, browse, search, and tag reviews and case studies, ExhibitFiles contains profiles of 1,300 exhibit developers and designers worldwide.
Member profiles contain personal and professional information along with favorites, contacts, and links to blog feeds and Flickr photo feeds.
At the onset of the project, a blog was launched and the design process for the site was shared with the community. This open process, along with an active advisory board, helped shape the early development of the site. The ExhibitFiles project receives Informal Science Education (ISE) funding from the National Science Foundation.
Ideum developed the site and a custom content management system (CMS) using Ruby on Rails. Ideum, along with the Association of Science-Technology Centers and Independent Exhibitions, helps maintain the site. A new round of development, including a new networked-media feature, is planned for early 2010.
