Dear Adobe Elves,

I know I’m early for Christmas, but I thought I’d give you some time to work on my wishlist. Here are a few things that I really really really really want for the next generation of the creative suite.

Silverscape is aflutter about the premier of our virtual tour of the Joslin Diabetes Center. The completed presentation was unveiled Wednesday September 23rd at an event held at Patriot’s Place in Foxburough MA.

For the last several weeks one of the larger projects I’ve been working on is finishing the content entry for a consumer website that will be launching in the next month. The site is for Fabreeka International, a global company ...

Big News: the FCC announced that it would prevent broadband carriers from limiting your access to high speed Internet for things like Internet-based voice calls (VoIP), video streaming, and legal file sharing - things they would love to make you pay extra for, or even block. What's more, is that the FCC is looking to extend these rules to cellular networks with the rise of smartphones and 3G equipped netbooks.

WebAwards from the Web Marketing Association? Sounds official -- it is! Check out what sets Walbridge apart in this review of their win for "Outstanding Website" in this year's judging.

A couple weeks ago my friend, Yoshi, came back from Japan to visit. He and I attended MassArt together, both majoring in Graphic Design. And other than making him say all the swears he could think of in Japanese, I was really interested in the stuff he was designing in Japan.

Silverscape has just launched the new corporate website for LifeYield, LLC, a leading retirement income software solutions innovator based in Boston. (In laymen’s terms, they develop software tools to help brokers maximize retirement income for clients.)

For several years now I've heard web agencies say (usually pretty adamantly) that there's no Content Management System (CMS) for Flash and that all updates are going to have to be done by a programmer. This may be a nice tactic for attracting clients to place money in your outstretched, open palm, but as someone interested in the technology at hand, I beg to differ...

Hue-Saturation-Lightness (HSL) is a newly supported color specification in CSS3. Like RGB, HSL is a numerical representation of color with the use of three distinct values, Hue, Saturation and Lightness.

One of our favorite clients, Ned Taft of Alden Lab has passed away at the young age of 59. Ned was a gracious advisor to Silverscape. I’ll never forget how pleased he was and how hard he laughed when I told him I accidentally messed up my fish tank pump and I had a flow problem. His enthusiastic imaginiative ideas and infectious laugh will be missed.

Last Thursday, a friend of mine and I were driving when one of her dashboard lights lit up. Immediately she started freaking out because she explained the light was of an exclamation point enclosed in parenthesis ( ! ). Now, I don’t know about you, but exclamation point to me says “Danger / Check Engine Now / Tuck and Roll out of the car before it explodes.”

This morning, we learned Silverscape has been named number 17 of the Largest Web Design firms in the North East by the Boston Business Journal. If you don't know us, this is our TENTH year in business. (That’s like a million internet years right?)

If you live in or around the Boston area, chances are you’ve heard of the Joslin Diabetes Center. If you are someone with Diabetes, like myself (let me hear it from my type 1’s!) than chances are you know about Joslin Diabetes Center. For those of you who are thinking, “what is she talking about,” allow me to drop some knowledge on ya.

When IKEA announced that they were scrapping their beloved “IKEA Sans” (a customized version of Futura) for Verdana, the design community exploded - on the internet, at least. The reason behind the swap, according to an interview in Cap & Design magazine, is that Verdana allows Ikea to establish a consistent branding both internationally and across web and print.

Silverscape is teaming up with Arnold to create the new website for The Walden Woods Project - an organization whose mission is to preserve the land, literature and legacy of Henry David Thoreau to foster an ethic of environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
