WordCamp SF 2010

Had a great time on Saturday at WordCamp SF 2010. A few quick highlights:

After The Deadline: a plugin for WordPress and TinyMCE with contextual Spell Checking, Advanced Style Checking, Intelligent Grammar Checking. The demo was great and I’m eager to try it out.

Minute Memes: reframing copyright restrictions one idea at a time, through a series of short, captivating, classroom-ready videos by award-winning artist and animator Nina Paley (Sita Sings The Blues). The back story of publishing Sita Sings The Blues was really fascinating too.

The Creator Endorsed Mark: a logo that a distributor can use to indicate that a work is distributed in a way that its creator endorses — typically, by the distributor sharing some of the profits with the creator.

Kloop: The founder Rinat Tuhvatshin talked about his harrowing experiences in taking great risks to present the truth in national news. The audience was clearly moved by his story…

“@alexbcnd: #wordcampsf #wcsf I think we just had the best presentation given at any Wordcamp, Rinat Tuhvatshin of Kloop.kg in Kyrgyzstan.”

Current Projects Underway

Stay tuned for the fruits of my labor… I’m currently in deep, working on some new and exciting projects. I’m eager to add these to my gallery of work once the projects have launched. I also hope to post an update soon regarding two other projects that are under wraps.

GenGreen & 3rdWhale: Brand Advisor
Two green focused media companies, GenGreen of Colorado and 3rdWhale of Vancover BC, have recently merged into one mega green company. I’ve joined as a part time Brand Advisor to help them move to the next stage. I’m super excited to be involved in designing some really interesting things that are on the horizon.

AmericanCupcake: Brand, Website & Product Design
This project is tormenting me with amazing photos of delicious cupcakes. Good thing I have willpower. American Cupcake has been around as a cupcake caterer in San Francisco for several years, and the word is out that AC is expanding their cupcake empire with their first cafe set to open in early 2010. I’ve been hired to bring the essence of the best cupcake around, to all of you. AC is a small, local business, started from scratch (literally) by Devin Alper, and features locally sourced ingredients and sustainable business practices. Yums.

GreenCafeNetwork: Pro Bono Brand Advisor
GCN is a fantastic operation located in San Francisco. It is the only non-profit organization dedicated to reducing Americans’ environmental impacts by greening the coffeehouse industry and harnessing café culture for community and individual environmental education. I’m rooting for quick, mass expansion across all of North America!

“Jenny is a talented designer who brings creativity and a passion for excellence to everything she does. She is also extremely responsible and pays close attention to details. She knows that the little things matter. I was happy to work with Jenny many years ago and would welcome the opportunity to do so again.”

“This is the second time I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Jenny and I’ve only grown to appreciate her value even more the second time around. Her attention to detail combined with a unique capability to see potential pitfalls long before they appear makes her indispensable at any stage of a company’s growth.”
