Niyati recently signed-up with a Switzerland based organization to build a Job portal to augment their recruitment services. The client chose on us after they were impressed with our creative capability and experience in building interactive portals.

ReadWriteWeb (@RWW) has a good article out today analyzing the recent Pew Internet findings and the growing popularity of Twitter among young college students (18-24-year-old, and even some of the 25-34-year-old demographic), as well as the increase in the median age for Facebook users from 26 to 33 over the past year. @RWW speculates that the increase of older users on Facebook is pushing college students to Twitter. MySpace is now the only top social networking site with a younger median age demographic than Twitter.

The people at TED have an inspirational project underway. This first is called the Charter for Compassion which was the idea of the first winner of the TEDPrize -- Karen Armstrong.
The Charter which embodies the ideas, words, and spirit of collaborators from all over the world is a "cry for return to the central principle" of the Golden Rule. It requires that we use "empathy ... to put ourselves in others' shoes." When I scrolled through the list of participants and their projects, I was struck by the lack of entries from schools. My school's November ceremony ties in with this theme and so I will be adding our name to the list. Perhaps we can invite our students to read the document: Reflections on Compassion and add their own reflections to the Charter website or join the Facebook group, the Flickr Group, or the YouTube Channel and post a contribution.

Finally here's a video project done with cell phones that we should be able to get kids to try. It's mostly images of words, but assembled this way, they communicate a powerful message about empathy and compassion.
Working on a gratis site for my friend Jurek.

I just got the leg piece finished up. I'm really stoked about the colors and how it turned out. And for those interested, here's the story behind the art...
My best friend, James, plays in this amazing instrumental band Giants (www.myspace.com/giantsmusic). For our wedding gift, he wrote us a song called At Last, Ashore. This song was then added to Giants' latest album. Along with the song, James wrote us a letter of explanation with his thoughts behind the song.
We, as people, are ships lost at sea. When we find true love that we know we're going to spend the rest of our lives with... Well, at last, we're ashore.
The tattoo features two ships docking and coming ashore. On the name plate of each ship it has our wedding date - 6/07/08. When James gave us this gift, I knew someday I would want to carry this imagery with me forever.
After picking up a variety of groceries, I decided to play around with some food typography. Here's what I came up with:
