We recently had the pleasure of working with HookUP Media to help produce the Web site for “March for California’s Future,” an online companion to an event going on right now in the Golden State. Organizers say that the 250 mile march, sponsored by the California Federation of Teachers and its diverse allies from labor, the faith community, and other civic supporters, is designed to draw attention to the underlying causes of the state’s woes as well as gather signatures for a majority budget initiative.

Devastation. Tragedy. Hopeless. Those were the words used to describe the recent earthquakes that struck the island of Haiti on January 12 near Port-au-Prince. To a nation that that was already struggling with poverty and trying to meet the basic needs of its people, the earthquake magnified the crisis for the world to see. Like many companies in Nashville, CentreSource matched its employees’ donations to give $500 to the UNICEF organization to help with relief efforts.

You have likely already seen this video. Google interviews a number of people in Times Square to see if they can answer the basic question: What is a Browser? Less than eight percent guessed correctly, and you can be reasonably sure that figure translates well into the general public. When it comes to the Internet, one of the single most integral pieces of the experience often gets overlooked.

Veterans Day is a time for us to reflect on the service and sacrifice of the men and women in our armed forces. That is why we were we were deeply honored to work with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) to help launch a Facebook campaign for the latest PSA video last week on Veterans Day. IAVA is the first and largest non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to bettering the lives of veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and their families. We developed the Flash player and utilities that capture the spirit and message of the campaign. You will soon see this amazing video, “Camo,” on television broadcasts across the country.

Look how shiny it is!

You already knew that CentreSource is an award-winning Web firm, but we are really excited to announce that the Two Futures Project has been selected as a W3 Awards “Best in Show” winner as presented by the International Academy of the Visual Arts. The academy says that projects winning “Best in Show” represents only the top one percent of the more than 3,000 entries received.

It probably comes as little surprise that our team members are very attached to our mobile devices. A quick look around the office turns up at least a dozen iPhones and Blackberries. Yes, we are very up on the latest trends in mobile computing. But what you do not know is that many of our employees lead a double life as an elite group of assassins for hire!
