mod7 Journal

Things may seem quiet at the mod7 studio from the outside, but we’ve actually been busy as bees/beavers/insert-industrious-metaphor-of-choice-here. To prove it, we’ve started a long-overdue blog that tracks our progress on an exciting new educational game we’re developing. The Titanium Chef Developer Blog is live and we hope you share your comments on the game information we share!

Find us at Flash In The Can! mod7’s Tyler Egeto will be presenting at this year’s FITC Toronto design and technology event. His presentation will be a beginner’s introduction to using Flash with the Arduino hardware platform to create alternative, real-world interfaces. Thanks to Brett Forsyth for the opportunity. Very cool.

Working onsite at the mod7 studio, the Web Developer operates closely with our designers and other technical team members to creatively execute our award-winning communication, education, and entertainment properties. We want someone who is fanatical, professional, humble, and self-motivated.

The person we want thinks AJAX is the second coming of buttered bread. They know that 1 pixel matters. They also embrace CSS frameworks (Blueprint), PHP frameworks (Zend), JavaScript frameworks (MooTools), and AJAX frameworks (Google Web Toolkit) and talk about them at parties to the chagrin of everyone else.

mod7’s project for Discovery Channel and Exploration Productions, exploration.ca, is an “Official Honoree” in the Interactive Advertising / Rich Media Business-to-Business category of the 13th Annual Webby Awards.

UPDATE:

Also another mod7 project is an honoree: ShiftControl Media in the Professional Services category.

Wow, it’s been a busy week. We helped launch three new websites:

1. The 100 Mile Challenge (premieres April 5) : Last year, the town of Mission went on the “100 Mile Diet” and Food TV was there to catch the drama. mod7 designed the site that lets you go on your own 100 Mile Challenge, find local foods near you using the Google Maps mashup, watch clips from the show, join the local foods community, download the desktop widget and much, much more! Good golly, this site is tight.
2. Vancouver International Partnering Forum: Speed dating website for businesses looking to get business (not “bizzay” which is something else). Already confirmed to attend: Disney, Nickelodeon, Google, and few more companies you may have heard of. mod7 designed the sweet logo, built the site, and is handling print ad designs too. And some other stuff.
3. Popvox 09: Enter. Vote. Win! Popvox rebooted this year with a sick (as in phat) new logo and identity. mod7 designed the new logo, graphics, website and we’re working on some really cool posters and such to help promote the event in Vancouver. The site was built in Drupal by our friends at Fuse and powered by our close associates at Strutta.

Hope you like our new things! Ok, very busy, gotta run… more projects to launch! Thanks for looking.
