Another website in the making
Posted by Emily | Filed under design, freelance, personal, website
I am working on developing a website and more artwork for a band that I used to be in. It’s still a work in progress, but coming along pretty well. I decided to develop the whole thing in WordPress, for now at least. Suggestions/improvements are more than welcome.

Visit to Silicon Valley and elsewhere
Posted by Emily | Filed under corporations, google, travel
Last week I was able to visit the Silicon Valley area for the first time. Although it was not the purpose of the trip, it was great to visit the “leading high-tech hub” in the US. I stayed with some friends in Mountain View who live a few blocks from Google (pictures may be posted soon). I learned that Google offered to give free WiFi to the whole town of Mountain View (more about that here and here). My friends who live there did not get it because it apparently runs fairly slowly and contains advertisements. What can you expect though, it is free after all.
While I was in CA I also got took a tour of Current TV where my friend Stephanie works. It’s definitely a cool place, as well as a cool network. It was started 2 years ago by Al Gore, and the concept behind it is to cut out the middle man and create media content for viewers, by viewers, giving regular citizens the opportunity to “create and influence what airs on TV”. They also just won an Emmy Award this year, not too shabby.
