WORK ALERT: new site: headautomatica.com

We just launched a new site for Head Automatica The site is our first foray into Drupal based sites, and uses prototype.js, moo.fx and other Javascript libraries intensively. Some AJAX inside, but mostly its based on RSS feeds and standard Drupal modules (Story and Event). We also on the back-end, customized the admin to make it more intuitive for bands.

This is phase one and we’re launching more stuff later this week.

Design was done by Prod4Ever, programming by Chime. Internally: Kathlene, Jeff, Robin and myself worked on it extensively.

It’s also the third or fourth site done in accordance to my Flash Is Bad (FIB) edict. Flash is only allowed for players/ornamental content now.

Like the site! Too much happening on the one page, what with Video and Photos. I feel simple works better!

Can I ask why you chose to use Drupal, or was this discussed in a previous posting that I may of missed!

Cool stuff, but using Control4 is cheating. And expensive.

This is so cool. Love that under New York is this hidden world of old.

So, its not as good in the screen, the speed, weight, cell modem, video or apps, and yet is a competitor? How?

I find it amusing that the same people who lament, mock and take glee in the demise of traditional media are very happy that one of the hallmarks of "New Media" - Techmeme - got a (deserved) profile in the New York Times.

I just had a heart attack and vowed that we will never, ever get a pool in our backyard. EVER.

Pretty much sums up my feelings on Android. I fear as well that with the rapid pace of "This is the BEST ANDROID PHONE ON THE MARKET" -- seemingly every three weeks -- we are nearly to the point where one company (say HTC) will cause an Osborne Effect on another manufacturer (say, Motorola or Samsung). It is only in each companies best interest to have the worlds best Android phone (WBAP for short). I fear its about to get nasty.

Ancillary data produced by your business can become more valuable than the profits from the business itself. Don't throw anything away.

R.E.M. should, one random day, close down College Ave between Broad and Washington, setup a stage, play, pack up and head back into their office. Unannounced.
