New Blog: The Eminent Domain

December 21st, 2007 by Andy

The Eminent Domain screen shotLast week we helped the Pratt Center launch a new blog called The Eminent Domain. From the site:

This website is a news, information and networking resource for New Yorkers working to influence the shape of their neighborhoods and make sure that development is an asset to their communities, not a force for displacement and destruction.

The site is built on WordPress, which serves as a simple content management system as well as a blogging platform: in addition to publishing blog posts about NY neighborhood development, the writers can manage the site’s pages and administer the site from WP’s administration area. It’s a powerful tool and we look forward to seeing The Eminent Domain’s contributors use it to promote just and equitable development in NYC.

Check out the site at theeminentdomain.org.

PeaceMaker on Fox News

December 6th, 2007 by Andy

Asi Burak of ImpactGames was interviewed on Fox News recently. He does really well with the few minutes he’s given, eloquently and humbly representing the game as it relates to the larger conflict.

Check out the blog post on peacemakergame.com, and the video on youtube.

We’re proud to continue supporting the online presence for ImpactGames and PeaceMaker.

New California Coalition for Reproductive Freedom Web Site

December 4th, 2007 by Andy

CCRF screen shotWe worked with Parker Dockray to rebuild the Women’s Health Rights Coalition web site back when she was executive director there, and we’re proud to have just finished a site for the organization she joined recently, the California Coalition for Reproductive Freedom.

The new CCRF site is a lean, clean online “brochure” to replace the organization’s previous broken placeholder page. The code is easy to follow, and Parker’s stepping up to the plate (again) to do her own manual maintenance of the site.

Rhys and I are grateful that we can do creative work and provide simple, powerful tools for organizations like CCRF, to help them continue their own great work.
