Cool Site Launch of Mine: AmericaFree.tv
Feb 12th
I’m wanted to let people know some new functionality on AmericaFree.tv (AFTV). It’s a project of mine CP+B.
What is AFTV? AFTV is a joint venture of CP+B (where I work) whose purpose is to redefine television. Streaming 14 channels 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, AFTV is television for the people, by the people. It strives to work with and promote independent directors from around the world by providing a unique mix of new and old content.
Last night we launched many updates to AFTV including the following highlights:
- Boulder International Film Festival Channel – We created a special channel in honor of the film festival that starts today, In includes films from past BIFFs.
- Chip In – We’ve enabled our independent directors to make a few bucks off of their work through this PayPal integration.
- Live Chat – Each channel has now a chat room where you can strike a conversation with other viewers in real time! The chat thread is overlaid right on top of the film itself. The effect is very Mystery Science Theater 3000/Rocky Horror Picture Show like. It is completely uncensored to give our participants the most precious of American freedoms: free speech. This one is really sweet. Definitely try it out!

MusiciansDirect.Org: A new JZapin.com site
Aug 6th
Go ahead and check out my newest creation: http://www.musiciansdirect.org.
I built this site for my good friend Mike Marsh who is a Musician and was looking for a way to represent his bands online. MusiciansDirect is an agency that he started to represent his own bands.
It's a pretty neat site that has teh following features:
- Built on Joomla! content management system
- Uses the Regulus Template from Joomlart.com
- Also uses Jogadgets for the music player (very cool flash based track player).
Check it out and let me know what you think.
Interactive Agency Project Management Forum Created
Aug 4th
Check out the new Interactive Agency Project Management Forum I just created on Google Groups:
http://groups.google.com/group/Interactive-Agency-Project-Management
Why I did I start this group…
Quite frankly, because I haven't found a forum anywhere for people who
manage creative projects. While there are definitely Project
Management forums (http://www.pmi.org, http://www.gantthead.com), there
is virtually no chatter about people who manage the development of
experiential, brand-focused, consumer oriented web experiences.
So, here it is. The first place where we can get together, PM to PM
and talk about the stuff that gets us.
So, sign up. Start the chatter. Let's collaborate. Isn't that what being a PM is about?
Creating Digital Dashboards: DashboardSpy
Apr 19th
If you are in the business of building digital dashboads, those web-based executive views that give you, instanatly a sense of the health of things, then check out DashboardSpy .
Personally, I think good design always comes from other good design. In other words, take pieces of other sites, and use them as our own. This site, for example, uses the color scheme from JetBlue Airlines .
DashboardSpy is a site that collects real-life digital dashboards from around the business world. If you're looking for inspiration for your dashboard, this site will give you lots of it. Just go to the site and be inspired.
Some of the dashboards include:
- Crime Analysis
- Cellular Telephone Service
- Remote Netowrk Stability
- Healthcare networks
- And, lots, lots more.
Take a look at it and let me know what you think.
