Listen in a Andrew, Ryan, and Mike discuss Drupal news from the past week. In this week's episode, we discuss core themes, open source software licenses, HTML5, and metaphors (among other things).
This is not an ad, I just thought this thing was cool. A great way to recycle plastic, and props to the designers for creating something reusable and smart.

The revolution in Tyvek® wallet design began with this super thin single folded sheet of Tyvek® created by Terrence Kelleman in 2005 for Dynomighty Design. First sold at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Mighty Wallet® is quickly becoming the most popular wallet on the market because of its durability, longevity and ecological features.

How do I submit my video(s)?
Between 24 July and 31 July, just click the “Submit” tab on Life In A Day channel and upload the footage directly from your computer. The “Submit” tab will become visible on 24 July.Does my video have to be documentary? Can it be fiction?
All we’re asking is for you to document your world over the course of a single day; we expect most videos to comprise documentary footage, but if you think that your world is best captured through fictional storytelling or even animation, it is entirely up to you.Do I need permission to record other people in my video?
Yes, you do need permission to include other people in your video. If your video makes it through the first stage of our selection process, we will email you release forms which you must send back to us signed by anyone who appears in your video.Can I use music?
Please avoid the use of music within your submission.What do I need to know about recording sound?
It’s important to think about the audio on your video, as sound recording often affects the overall quality of a video. Good sound recording will probably increase the chance of your footage being chosen to be in the final film. If possible, it would be great to enhance your recording by using external microphones, in addition to those built in to most cameras.When is the Sundance Film Festival?
The 2011 Sundance Film Festival will take place from 20 January to 30 January 2011. The premiere date of Life In A Day will be announced closer to the start of the festival.

What do you make of this, kids? Looks like the fine folks who make the excellent Miro Player are up to some new tricks. I created a sample site and imported a bunch of Orlando Video and OrlandoSceneTV content.
One of my twitter friends, @ultimike, recently linked me to a story from the Orlando Sentinel about a homeowner’s association in East Orlando that won’t let someone get a light-colored roof, which could save them $100 – $150 per month on their electric bill because it won’t match the “harmony” of the rest of the neighborhood.
From Orlando homeowner battles HOA, wants roof to reflect energy-saving ethic:
She said she understands that her neighbors denied the request because no one else has a white roof.
But “until you get one white roof, you can’t have two. Until you have two, you wouldn’t have three,” Piper said. “If we did all the roofs at one time, with $100 of savings a year on each one and 100 homes, that’s $10,000 … for electricity that is just wasted now.”
Listen in a Andrew, Ryan, and Mike discuss Drupal news from the past week. In this week's episode, Ryan talks about his trip to Design4Drupal, we all wonder why anyone would be against a code of conduct, and we plan out exactly how to get Drupal 7 released.
Join us as we do our first multi-continental podcast where we end up losing Ryan in bat country. Somewhere along the way we talk about Drupal.
Yes our puppet-loving friend Hannah Miller (of Thunderhag) is up to it again, this time with a video documenting a recent art opening at Taste by another one of our featured creators on this site, Jessica Earley.
via YouTube
Jessica’s show at Taste is her first solo show, and the entire show depicts mothers, girls grappling with the state of being a mother, and the fact that they are able to become mothers.
A blurb from the Daily City had this to say:
From Jessica Earley at Taste
Jessica Earley (Audience Choice Awards, Blunder Bungle, Interview) has her first solo show *ever* June 11, 2010 7-9pm at Taste (717 W Smith Street). Free admission. Drink specials. She describes the show as this: “There will be boobies, there will be babies, there will be blood (really).”
Not to mention the purple hair, but WTF?
One of the stand-out contributions to the Creative Mind Experiment was the Dog Powered Robot, created by Evan Miga and friends (including his Pomeranian, Fisher). Found via The Daily City.
About the Creative Mind Experiment:
See how differently creative minds interpret the same inspiration.
All of the creators agreed to participate without knowing what their source of inspiration would be. They were given a 3 min and 33 sec piece of music and asked to create “something” in that time frame. They can use any medium they wish and as little or as much of the music as they desire. The only rule is that they must create something that was inspired by something they heard or felt in the piece of music.
See what creators like Bob Kodzis (Creative Catalyst/Improv Actor), Brian Feldman (Performance Artist), Jordan Woods-Robinson (Blue Man/Actor/Fiddle Player), Evan Miga (DRIP Creative Engineer & Graphic Designer), Lindsay Cohen (Writer/Actor), Ryan Price (Community Builder/Hacker), Richard Paul (Improv artist), Brandon Roberts (Producer/Director/Actor, Creator of the PB&J Theatre Factory) , Tisse Mallon (Photographer/Creative Mind), Melissa Cowen (Child Dance Prodigy), Comedians, Musicians, Choreographers and more separately create.
Each creation is placed one right after another so you can see just how differently they think even when inspired by the exact same thing. 8 creators will participate in every show. View the show-by-show schedule to see when your favorites will appear!

While communities across the nation seek new ways to generate local economic development and job growth without spending millions of dollars, St. Cloud and Osceola County took a big step forward recently with the formal dedication of the new UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud facility at 3201 Budinger Ave. in St Cloud.
Gordon Hogan, director of operations for the UCF Business Incubation Program, said the launch of the new 14,000 square foot facility marks a new era of economic development activity in Osceola County.
Four incubation client companies are locating offices in the new facility immediately, Hogan said, and the UCF Business Incubation Program expects to name a full time site manager in less than 30 days. Eventually, the UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud could accommodate as many as 20 client companies.
Business incubators rank among the most cost-effective ways to generate sustainable local economic growth. Since 1999, the UCF Business Incubation Program has helped more than 140 emerging companies generate more than $800 million in annual revenues and more than 1,600 new jobs with an average salary of $59,000.
Research has shown that 87 percent of incubator graduates are still in business five years after graduating from an incubation program, said UCF’s Business Incubation Program Founder Dr. Tom O’Neal.
“The UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud will provide a wide range of services to accelerate the growth of promising young companies so they can play a greater role in economic expansion in the local area,” Hogan explained.
The UCF Business Incubation Program currently supports nearly 90 client companies, Hogan said, and ranks as one of the premier university-based incubation programs in the U.S.
“St. Cloud is very excited to have one of the premiere incubation programs in the country in St. Cloud. The UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud will not only assist in growing our own companies, but will help to achieve the long-time goal of diversification in the local job markets and the overall economy,” said Ernie Gearhart, Economic Development Consultant for the City of St. Cloud.
The St. Cloud incubator facility is one of eight in the University of Central Florida’s Business Incubation program. Additional incubator facilities are located at UCF Campus, Research Park in east Orlando, and in Orlando, Sanford, Winter Springs and Leesburg.
Memorial Day weekend is upon us. For every other holiday, there are a variety of ways to celebrate. Sometimes I don’t know my Thanksgiving plans until two weeks before. As a student, I had a part-time job in which I always worked Easter. Sometimes, I’ve even celebrated the Fourth of July without fireworks.
But I’ll be damned if I celebrate Memorial Day in any other way except Fringe. The Orlando Fringe Festival, to be specific – the first in North America and one weekend in which I get to come back to my beloved hometown and celebrate in the kookiest way imaginable.
