Times change. The seasons come and go. After many years, Rhys and I are sick of being “geographically-tied”, so we’re dropping the “dtekeast” and “dtekwest” monikers. (And it looks like we’ve got some geographic changes upcoming, anyway…)

So for now — and we know this is revolutionary — we’ll refer to ourselves simply as “Andy” and “Rhys”. Our email addresses will change accordingly.

We’re proud to be working with a private group that’s developing a Voluntary Universal Healthcare Identifier (VUHID) system in the U.S. (As in, get knocked out while cycling in Washington, and have the doctor be able to easily access your medical history from your primary physician in New York!)

We’ve been working on the VUHID logo and branding, and just launched an initial, “brochure”-style site at vuhid.org. We’ll be helping with further web presentation and documentation efforts as the project evolves.

Check out the site and read more about the VUHID system at vuhid.org.

The Generation Connection is an action-packed Gainesville Florida-based summer camp that connects youth with senior mentors. Before the 5th annual camp last week we launched a big, bold, and beautiful new web site for TGC.

A fixture of each year’s camp is video production with the kids by The Media Spot. Have a look at our blog post on themediaspot.org to read about that. And of course be sure to watch all of the new "Clip of the Day" videos at thegenerationconnection.com!

We pride ourselves on getting to know our clients, and The Atlanta School shows why — TAS is full of great folks and fantastic educators that have been friends and colleagues for many years. But rebuilding TAS’ web site at theatlantaschool.com was special to us for another reason: the old web site was the very first that Rhys and I ever built together, back in 1999! Then known as DPC Productions, we poured a lot of heart into the site, if it was certainly showing its age by 2007…

The new site sports a gorgeous, fluid design that of course highlights the creative energy of the students. It has an integrated blog, powered by WordPress, and colorful galleries of artwork, photos, and videos.

The Atlanta School is also where The Media Spot got its start — Rhys made his very first collaborative videos with TAS students. Check them out in the Video Gallery!

We’ll always be grateful for the creative support from the folks at The Atlanta School that helped us get started. We hope their new web site serves them well!

EDIT: Belated thanks to TAS for the kind words on their own blog.

I was excited to hear ImpactGames’ Asi Burak on NPR this morning, discussing PeaceMaker with Steve Inskeep. We’re glad to have done a lot of work with ImpactGames, including coding and consultation on their web sites and online delivery of the PeaceMaker game.

The interview is available on npr.org, and Asi has also posted about it on the PeaceMaker blog.

Kudos to Asi, Eric, and all the ImpactGames folks for this coverage of their excellent project.
