Like a dad who’s proud of their kid, we love to see partners and clients go from infancy to great heights, it sounds cliché but it makes what we do worthwhile.
Paul broke into the Technorati 100 on Friday the 13th (insert Stammy the slasher joke here) and we think this won’t be the last time. So, if you know him or appreciate his writing, drop him a line to say congrats.
Our clients Diesel and Far Far have long prided themselves by standing out and doing things differently. Diesel’s online presence and Far Far’s work have held that tune exceptionally well.
The “HEIDIES 15 MB OF FAME” campaign, promoting the launch of Diesel’s new “Intimate” line of apparel, recently won the prestigious Grand prix Cyber Lions award at Cannes. The underwear-clad “HEIDIES,” two models holed up in a hotel room with a “kidnapped” Diesel manager, “hi-jacked” the Diesel website to stream live video to users of their dubious plan unfolding.
Admittedly, This campaign certainly had us scratching our heads. “Are we showing some sort of hack here?? No, everything ‘looks’ secure, but is this the new Diesel site?” A quick phone call and we were straightened out, and duly impressed.
Since we are helping out with MySkitch, we already knew how cool Plasq’s new app was and it looks like our friends at TechCrunch agree. Congrats to the team at Plasq on a great product and another great review.
In it’s 7th year, the May 1 Reboot is going strong, providing inspiration and a new generation of web eye candy for the discerning design enthusiast. The Judges have made their decisions and the results are in! Their rightful prize, beyond the obvious glory of victory, is (mt) Media Temple hosting for life.
And the Winners ARE!…
We’d like to take a moment on JFK’s birthday–the creator of the Peace Corps–to shine a light on one of our clients; kiva.org. If you haven’t heard about them yet, they are the only non-profit micropayment organization who’s helping the world’s working poor through your loans. You contribute and interact with members requesting business loans, and they pay the loans back and build a future for themselves in their developing nation.
Amazing as the Peace Corps is, we think kiva.org is equally remarkable as a technological high-water mark in the challenge to better our world.
We’re big fans of cool eye candy here at (mt), and one of the best toolkits out there for adding some snazzy effects to your site is Mootools. And we’re not just saying that because they host with us. Mootools is compact, easy to use, extensible and lightweight. They’ve just released version 1.1 for general consumption. You can see what’s new, check out the demos, or go directly to the downloads. Enjoy!

Jessey White-Cinis, co-founder of Stolen.la and long-time client of (mt) Media Temple, recently came out to the island of Oahu, Hawaii to work with a newly obtained client. Since he was in the neighborhood, Oahu based Jason Mcvearry, (mt) Partner Director, decided to hook up with Jessey and conduct a small interview while they caught a local surf break.
Jason McVearry and Paul Neave of Flashearth.com and Neave.com got together recently for a question and answer session. Everyone at (mt) is a huge fan of Paul’s work (yes, even the receptionists) so we just had to find out more about what makes this genius tick.
