Refresh Denver is having their first event this Monday. Refresh Denver is “a community of designers and developers working to refresh the creative, technical, and professional culture of Internet developers in the Denver Metro area.”

I love this kind of stuff. I’ve long been a little gripey about how it seems like the Denver design/development scene is weak in this area. I know there are plenty of us around, yet it seems like none of us get together and hang out. I’m really hoping that Refresh takes off and I can meet and collaborate with local web folk.

The first meetup in Denver is at The Hive. We’ll have drinks and stuff there so feel free to stop by! It’s this Monday, May 21st at 5:30pm. Call me if you have any questions: 303-997-2529

Refresh is in other cities too. Check out the Refresh website to get involved in shaping the creative community near you.

I’m in Kansas for the National Writers Workshop put on by the Poynter people. They asked me last summer if I wanted to come talk about online stuff and I said yes, but to give you an idea of how much of a lightweight I am at this conference, I bumped into another speaker on the hotel shuttle and he modestly said he had to give a talk as well, so I looked it up (a keynote!) and this is him:

As a journalist for the Tri-State Defender in Memphis and the Baltimore Afro-American newspapers, Moses Newson covered almost every major event of the civil rights era. His stories included the 1955 Emmett Till murder trial in Mississippi; school desegregations in Hoxie, Ark. (1955), Clinton, Tenn. (1956) and at Central High School in Little Rock, Ark. (1957); and the desegregation of the University of Mississippi in 1962. Newson was one of only two reporters aboard the CORE Freedom Ride bus that was fire bombed in Anniston, Ala., on Mother’s Day, May 14, 1961.

And I’m a guy with a blog that has comments. Can’t wait for my session!

Zack & J.C. continue to amaze with their ability to exceed expectations within expected limits. This Star Wars spoof and music video created for Comcast proves so. Wow!

I’ve worked with Zack Resnicoff and partner, J.C., during our brand campaign for R.BIRD client, GenSpec.

Just as Zack & J.C. delivered for GenSpec, they consistently demonstrate an ability to pull together talent, location, film and editing to deliver superior value way beyond expectations.

Rock on, Zarsonar!
