Elegant Functionality Requires More Than Hacking Bluemarine
One of the greatest benefits of a Content Management System like Drupal, is the ability to separate the visual presentation (Theme) layer from the site logic. This is accomplished by placing your theme files in site/all/themes. The rest is up to your abilities to write & edit PHP template files, use hooks, and customize CSS for use in customizing the presentation of your site. The callbacks may seem a bit labyrinthine, but by making a sub-theme you can get well on your way.
Sound tough? It is not.
Come out next Month to learn how to get started! Lauren N. Roth will be giving short presentation to get you going and recommends bringing a Localhost installation on your own computer. Even if you are an experienced Drupal developer, write modules, and have been pimping out sites for years, let’s get together, discuss best practices and demystify the design process. If you write modules, some themer needs to handle your output after they enable your module, so it would be fantastic to build a little elegance into the module itself!
Come out, ask questions, share your experiences and help others make some amazing Drupal sites!

Can I fist pump you my social networks?
During the week of May 24 through May 31st AustinLifestyles.com, The Spring, BHI, and RegistrationAssistant are hosting a visitor from the Netherlands, Paul Geurts of MyNameisE.com. He is bringing the first prototypes of a social networking and business card connector to Austin, Texas. If you’re around Austin next week and want a demo, call Paul at 512–699–4000 or email terry at spring dot net.
My Name is E
The E device can be used at conventions, trade shows, and meetings, in metropolitian areas like Austin and on college campuses like the University of Texas. There are over 1.2 million conventions, trade shows and events in the US every year.
What is the E device? In its current incarnation, E is small white, sleek looking device much like an ipod nano or USB storage device. With E, you can share your contact information and social networks in one simple gesture.
Connector allows you to safely transfer an online business card and your set of social networks in a simple gesture like a fist pump or a high five. Tap two Connectors together and you’re connected. Synchonize Connector by using the built-in USB plug with your PC or Mac. It is ideal for networking at large events and conferences.
During the week that Paul Geurts is visiting Austin, we will be meeting with venture investors, potential partners, customers and forming a team to distribute and promote E throught the US and North America.
There is no setup with connector, it can be used immediately out of the box. It’s equipped with a lithium polymer battery which allows you to use it for 72 hours on a 2 hour charge. It holds two of your E Business Cards (one for personal and one for professional) and connects to RFID tags as well as other Connectors and iphones. It gives you intuitive feedback through LED lighting. The RFID tag feature opens it up the world of “choice based advertising” and integrates these connections in to your social network activity stream. It connects you to objects and to the environment as well as to people.

Description
Ever since GeekAustin announced the “Introduction to Drupal” workshop, we’ve been getting emails asking: “So what’s the big deal with Drupal?” Sounds like an excuse for a party? Yes!
We’ll have drinks out front and panels in back. We’ll be bringing in local experts to discuss and debate topics such as: “Why should I use Drupal instead of Wordpress?”, “Isn’t theming hard with Drupal?”, and “Why would the city use Plone instead of Drupal?”. Ok, well maybe not the last panel.
This should be fun. Hope you can make it.

Our children will inherit a world profoundly changed by the combination of technology and humanity that is social media. They’ll take for granted that their voices can be heard and that a social movement can be launched from their laptop. And they’ll take for granted that they are connected and interconnected with hundreds of millions of people at any given moment.

SXSW update, Felicia Day and Wordpress
I’m at the Wordpress Users group tonight which is a basic intro session for beginners. Karen Kreps is here. Cesar and the Conjunctured Gang is hanging around the front porch. When I walked up they asked me “have you heard of this thing called a blog?” . . . they were talking about the meeting but for a second I thought they were alluding to the fact that my updates here have been, slightly, majorly scarce.
I’d like to say I’ve been busy editing the 200 plus SXSW interviews that our little crew did, but actually Luke Mullen gets all the credit for that. Luke and I are starting to get in synch with this and he’s on the final lap, which is putting all these videos in to a format we can publish on Itunes for ipods, iphones and desktop high def video.
I’m particularly fond of the Louis Gray interview (alistapart), Silona Bonewald’s open government series of speakers and the Felicia Day interview:
Felicia Day (Codex, the Healer)
…was born in Huntsville, Alabama. She was home-schooled all her life and got her first acting role as Scout in the Huntsville Little Theatre production of “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Felicia started college at 16, majoring in violin performance, and then in mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin. She has been on television shows such as “Windfall”, “Strong Medicine”, “Monk”, “Love Inc.”, and most notably had a recurring role as Potential slayer Vi on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” She has been in such films as “Bring it on Again”, and the Emmy award-winning “Warm Springs”.
She recently played the role of “Penny” in Joss Whedon’s “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”, and filmed a 4 episode arc on the upcoming ABC Family sitcom, “Roommates”.
(IMDB). And in an exclusive bit of news she dropped on AustinBlogger, Felicia said she will be in a pretty major role in and upcoming episode of “Doll House” on ABC television.
Texas Social Media Awards top 25
How in the world did I get on the same list as Cali Lewis? I don’t know but it’s amazing to be on a list of the “top 25 Texas Social Networkers” with her and 23 other amazing people. To whoever nominated me, thank you! It’s an honor to be on the same list as all these incredible social networkers.
The list was pared down from 125 nominees. The actual awards show where all the award winners will get *trophies* is on March 15 from 6 to 9 pm at Ballet Austin, 501 W 3rd St, with tickets going for $15.00.

It’s a great list and I’m honored to be listed on it. Michelle Greer has been really helpful to me and I hope I’ve been helpful to her. She recently had the major role in pulling off the “Twestival” that raised 10 grand for world water causes. I had the privilege of interviewing Cali Lewis as she breezed in and out of last year’s SXSW. Below is that interview with Cali.
Michael Cote made the list, he really was the person that got me going on twitter and his “DrunkandRetired” podcast rocks, it’s the best podcast coming out of Austin, Texas. Erica O’Grady is super, she really did an awesome job at the recent Mashable event in Austin and the Camp connected with it. Last summer I got to co-moderate a session with Connie Reece at the SEMforSMB conference and did an hour long video with her on Youtube and all over with her on social networking. Lani Rosales has given me a lot of great advice and she’s a riot. I hope to get to know all the other award winners better, they’re an awesome group of people.
Note - Perry Belcher was cut from the list at the last minute for being a “bad boy”.
OrgSync social media campaign works!
AUSTIN, Texas (Feb 11, 2009) — OrgSync, Inc (OrgSync.com) is excited to announce its successful campaign to raise $1500 for Charity: Water using social media. On Tuesday, February 3, 2009, OrgSync’s team launched a social media campaign to raise awareness for the importance of clean, safe drinking water around the world. The team of 25 employees used Twitter, Facebook Newsfeeds and their company blog to rally the public behind the cause. OrgSync’s goal was to raise $1500 to donate to Charity: Water during the Austin Twestival event on February 12. Michelle Greer, well known Austin media figure and coordinator for Austin Twestival, says “Big problems like the lack of clean drinking water won’t get solved over night by the few. They will get solved by the many donating in bits and pieces towards a common goal. OrgSync pooled their resources and ended up being one of our top sponsors and I hope more companies follow this approach towards charitable giving.”
Over 175 cities around the world will be uniting on Thursday, February 12, 2009 to increase awareness and raise money for those in need of clean, safe drinking water. “This is a great cause and an opportunity to unite our Austin community with cities across the world to create social good. As a leader I am passionate about leveraging my understanding of social media to help create awareness and provide people the opportunity to give back,” said Fortenberry.
The OrgSync team was successful at meeting its goal of raising $1566 in 24 hours and is excited to contribute 100% of it to Charity: Water. Andrew Katz, Director of Community Relations feels, “It’s very important for our team to give back and get involved in the Austin Community. We feel that by being visibly active in the community, we can be positive role models for our students and clients to do the same!” OrgSync’s successful campaign proves how important online communication and networking is for increasing awareness and uniting individuals for a greater good.

scoutle - a blog community
You’ll notice another widget in the lower right column of this blog, it’s scoutle and I recommend you check it out and add me as your friend so we can compare notes. I found this in Louisvillian Tom Osborne’s profilactic mashup this morning. As far as I can tell, this came out of the Netherlands and it’s designed to be a blog community.
This is where you can find me on Scoutle
I started a blog network for Austin, Texas also. One member so far, me.
To quote Wicked Pretty, who has quite a following on Scoutle, “I particularly like the animated one, Scoutle. You have a little Scout (who you get to name and give a catchphrase) and he “wanders the internet” looking for people to match to your blog…I don’t really understand how it all works, so if you’re the kind . . . “
Is this the next big thing? It could get pretty big from what I’ve seen. If these guys hit it hard and listen to their community they’ve got a great start.
Here’s the description of Scoutle by the creators:
Scoutle is an automated social network for bloggers and functions as an ideal Guide for internet users to find a valuable blog, no matter the language, subject or location.
Scoutle helps you find, promote and connect blogs using an automated rating and matching system. Not only find a blog easily, but also know what a blog is worth and discover similar blogs.
Scoutle searches, matches, validates and values… You only need to find a blog or as a user, make sure your blog is and keeps interesting.

Stay tuned for the entire series of interviews and some commentary on this night and on Lynn Bender’s terrific idea to start a “BarCollege”. Yes, you heard it right, BarCollege. It’s an awesome hyper extension of the BarCamp concept that Lynn hopes people will steal. They should. It’s an idea whose time has come and one that should spread like the co-working movement.
