First Month at Frisk

It’s time for a new semester (my last semester, hooray!) and it’s about time I update you all on some of my latest projects. As some of you may or may not know, I’ve recently become the Frisk intern. If you haven’t heard of them yet, you should definitely get yourself in the loop here. They just released their Fall 2011 line, and I was lucky enough to assist on their latest photo shoot. Click here to see some of the beautiful images from the “Day at the Museum.”

Also be sure to check out the redesign I did on their business cards.

Therapeutic Riding

After their granddaughter, Hannah Sue, was born with Down’s syndrome, Janice and Cleayton Mills were inspired to provide therapeutic horsemanship and equine-assisted therapies. In 2002 they founded Hannah’s Horseshoes of Hope, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, in Bonham, Texas to assist both children and adults with physical, mental, and emotional needs.

Technology Arts & Media Portal

A little late, but better than never.  The culmination of my Dreamweaver skills yielded here.

Digital Media

This semester I finally got into a little class called Digital Media 1.  DM1 is part of the Technology Arts & Media (TAM) program offered through CU and provides students with an opportunity to learn the latest and greatest software from Adobe Creative Suite.  The class also allows students to establish their online presence and build an online portfolio.

Here’s a little sneak peak at my work in progress: Digital Media Portfolio.

Knowledge Based Feature: Energy Analysis

Green is the new black.  When it comes to the latest trends in energy, wind, solar, water, geothermal and biofuels are the leading renewable energy sources.  Rising oil prices, energy security and global warming are all contributing to the hype of ‘going green’.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, renewable energy accounted for eight percent of the total U.S. energy consumption in 2009.  In a press release on September 17, HOMER Energy, a local Boulder business, announced its intent to partner with the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute at the University of Colorado to explore new energy scenarios over the next year. Boulder’s strong political will to integrate clean energy resources, the latest in smart grid capabilities and the existing electric grid makes it an ideal case study to explore new energy scenarios.

“Multiple factors are causing policy makers to focus on alternatives to traditional centralized electricity systems,” said Dr. Paul Komor, a Lecturer in the Environmental Studies Program at the University of Colorado Boulder.  “Those factors include the falling costs of renewable technologies such as wind and solar, rapid advances in electricity storage and plug-in vehicles, and the integration of information technology with the power system.”

Commentary: Hipsters

Walking around Boulder it’s hard to miss the skinny jeans, plaid throwbacks and black-rimmed glasses.  Hipsterdom has laid its roots and turned Boulder into a hotbed of thrift stores, organic restaurants, vegetarians, vegans, amateur photographers, bicycle riders – particularly fixed gear cyclists – and listeners of public radio.

Rejecting the mainstream and striving for something a little more antiquated may seem rebellious within the context of today’s newer, bigger, better, faster society, but it’s hardly revolutionary.

And yes, even though a true hipster is one that would never admit it, a large portion of my peers, including myself, tend to embody at least one of these characteristics.
