Organic Gardening website

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new website for Organic Gardening Magazine. Organic Gardening launched a new look and feel for their magazine in March, and asked Seymour Creative to design a new website to match. We worked with them to create a new look and feel that took the design sensibilities from the printed magazine and translated them to the web. We also designed templates for each of the extensive new features that Organic Gardening was adding to the site as part of their move to Drupal. You can see some of the results below.

simSchool

We’ve started working with simSchool again, continuing work on one of the projects that Brandt led development on before founding Logic Branch. simSchool is a classroom simulator that helps teachers develop experience in analyzing student differences, adapting instruction to individual learner needs, gathering data about the impacts of instruction, and seeing the results of their teaching. We’re starting with moving the application for simSchool to a new server cluster at the University of North Texas, to enable it to scale up to serve a larger user base.

LifeNaut Launch

Today we’re glad to announce the public release of our rewrite of the LifeNaut research project. LifeNaut is an experiment to investigate how digital technology can best be used to help preserve a person’s memories, emotions, and personality. As part of this project, we built functionality for people to connect socially, upload and share photos, documents, videos, and more. Users can also use several instruments to measure various aspects of their personalities, and can create a digital avatar that can be trained to converse like the user. Here’s a preview of what it looks like:

Fuel Economy Facts

We just delivered the designs for Lubrizol’s fuel economy website, scheduled to go live in the next few months. Along with the website design, we also prepared the look and feel for a fuel economy calculator, as well as the user interface for a fuel economy game. Keep an eye out for it to launch in the near future, but in the meantime, here’s a sneak peak for you:

Intellidimension

We’ve begun working with Intellidimension on the next generation of RDF Gateway, their semantic web database software. The new version, Semantics.NET, is built on top of Microsoft’s .NET platform and will support distributed processing of SparQL queries across clusters of servers. We are working on optimizing the performance of the distributed processing, to ensure that complex queries over large datasets can be handled efficiently by various sized clusters of database servers.
