ThoughtWorks Studios

After a long incubation, the ThoughtWorks Studios redesign has launched.

This project was a from-scratch rebuild of an existing Drupal site. The primary goals of the project were a major UI update and reorganization of content types/relationships to support a more structured presentation of content, and to make it easier for content editors to make updates.

Strongarm/Features use cases uncovered

I'm launching my first project that uses Features heavily, and I've run into some of the limitations discussed in this post by Bill at Funny Monkey.

Bill talks about the difficulties in deploying multiple sites from a set of Features, and then keeping those sites in sync with the Feature as it evolves, and how that process is incompatible with Drupal's goal of making it possible for non-technical content admins to do more things.

Rabies Post-bite Treatment

Rationalization

It seems like everyone in Buenos Aires who owns a dog and lives in an apartment has a dog walker to take their dogs out every day. You constantly see dog walkers in the street with 10 or 20 dogs, all on separate leashes, walking around perfectly happily. Many more dogs that would be considered safe or responsibile for dog walkers in the US.

Break Bread Concert, December 11 at the Paramount

The Oakland Symphony Chorus is performing in the Oakland East Bay Symphony's annual Let Us Break Bread Together concert on Sunday, December 11, 4PM at the Paramount in Oakland.

This concert is a fun, cheesy, ecumenical holiday concert with a bunch of different vocal groups crammed together on stage. Joan Baez is guest starring (if she doesn't fall out of her treehouse again this year...)

Crockpot vs. Gas oven

Welcome back to the n of 1 institute.

In this episode we'll be comparing crock pot cooking with gas oven cooking. Specifically we'll be comparing my electric crock pot with my gas oven - so it's really an n of ME analysis! n of ME is even less useful than n of 1. Cool! We're going to aim at comparing carbon footprint, but will also touch on a straight comparison of "energy", and a price comparison.

OSC Workshop, Haydn Harmoinemesse, November 19

The Oakland Symphony Chorus is performing a recital of Haydn's Harmoniemesse on Saturday, November 19 at the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland (on Lake Merritt) at 8PM.

It's a free concert. It's a recital for our annual workshop, so we will be larger and less-rehearsed than usual.
