We’ll be premiering our new music video Secondhand Smoke at Sputnik (directions to Sputnik) on Friday December 30th. There will be 4 bands playing including the band featured in the video, Vague Angels. The video should be on between 10 & 11 prior to Chris Leo & Vague Angels taking the stage. We hope to see you there!

For those of you who can’t make it, sit tight! The video will be coming to the web in January…

As 2006 approaches we’re reminded: dang, we’ve been in business for 6 years! And we’ve added a few more gems to our eclectic portfolio that we’d like to show you…

Recent project highlights include web development for the Pratt Center in Brooklyn (urban planning), a logo and web site for Green Lake School-Age Care Program in Seattle, Likeness to Lily’s debut CD design, and a web site for the Pueblo of Santa Ana Department of Natural Resources in New Mexico. We’ve got a seriously funny music video in the works, too. Check out the recent entries below for more.

Our September summit meeting in Baltimore was a gas, and next month we’ll be taking a 4-day soak in the wintry wonderland of Lake Tahoe. Thanks to Robin Z for hosting both!

Lastly, you may have noticed that this blog is new. We’ve just made the transition to WordPress for delivery of our News Flashes. Check out the new format and feel free to post comments. (If you really want to stay up on your Dtek news, you can even subscribe to our RSS feed with your favorite RSS reader.)

Happy new year, folks. Don’t forget to request your Dtek historical postcards for holiday hilarity.

Secondhand Smoke: Music Video — We’re currently producing a narrative music video in Brooklyn for a Chris Leo & Vague Angels song, with a cast and crew featuring several Dtek Industries Members. Coming to the web in January 2006.

The Experience Club — We’re breaking ground on a web site for this Manhattan-based women’s social club that organizes a wild mix of “experiences” for its members. Ladies, stay tuned…

Scott and Leah Jurek — We’re working on 2 new web sites for this dynamic Seattle duo. This spring we’ll help them launch the official site for their running camps, clinics, and coaching services, as well as Leah’s massage therapy practice.

We just developed a colorful logo and web site for Green Lake School-Age Care Program, an action-packed before and after school childcare program in Seattle.

We provided multiple versions of the logo to be used across digital and print media, and other GLSA promotional items like T-shirts. The web site is a playful, informative brochure for GLSA, including program details and registration forms.

The site also features some slick code behind the scenes: semantic, accessible, and easy for GLSA to understand. And of course, we met with GLSA to help them get familiar with their new site so they can handle their own site maintenance. Have a look at greenlakechildcare.org.
