Still working hard at Horizons [Companies]. We recently updated that site with a new layout and lots of videos. Up next: HTML5 (no Flash required!) videos. The videos will work on all major devices, including mobile! For browsers without HTML5 video support, there is Flash and Silverlight fallbacks. That was a real challenge to get all the codecs to work. But with the help of the excellent mediaelement.js library, we're all set to make the switch. Now we just have to get the video team to find all 70 or so original videos and re-encode them in the various formats required and at higher resolutions.

The final publication stage of the new Columbus Public Schools' web site is upon us. It has been an exciting summer of work as we enabled this entirely new public web site to be easily accessible and maintainable by non-technical staff. In addition to the new and improved look of the site, it now even includes a mechanism where all of the 130 schools in the district can manage their own individual sites. This new, custom, automated system will enable more community interaction and enhanced communication with parents that is so important in maintaining a great relationship with those involved in the education of our youth.
