By Clay Parker Jones | March 16, 2009

If you’ve been following the UXUP thing, I’ve been talking about a beer-related surprise.
Here’s the idea:

Problem: Existing tools to find recommendations on beers are kinda lame. You might like Beer Advocate’s rating tool, and you might find what you need on RateBeer, but they’re not exactly shining star examples of interactivity.
Solution: Consolidated Twitter beer reviews. Let’s talk about […]

Blogging Guidelines – Feedback?

By Clay Parker Jones | February 18, 2009

Blog-friends and readers alike, I’d love your feedback on a pretty hot topic for me recently. I haven’t written about it much here — instead, I’ve been perusing the internet, looking for source material — but I’d like to start a discussion about corporate blogging guidelines.
And I’m not talking about “when to blog” or “how to blog” … but literally […]

Obama Baton: Pass It On.

By Clay Parker Jones | October 6, 2008

Ahh, so the Obama Baton. As you might know, we went from a 160-line chat to a wireframe, to a live site in under 10 days. I won’t get into the how, but instead into the why.
Seth reached out to me about two weeks ago with an idea: running the NYC marathon with a blue baton […]

By Clay Parker Jones | March 3, 2008

I’m pleased to report that my good buddy, Kevin Panke, has successfully started his own blog at kpanke.com. I have to say it’s one of the better-looking blogs I’ve ever seen. The big thing at the top is going to be a Flash piece containing all his portfolio work.

By Clay Parker Jones | January 17, 2008

So I made a site for Adam today and got my aforementioned buddies to host it. I had been trying to get him to have a site for a while now, and I finally convinced him. It’s built on Wordpress, and uses my modification of the Brightpixel theme… made it all white, messed with the […]
