What's Happening

Digital Frontiers Media remembers the historic Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969. That moment stands forever as a testament to mankind's spirit, bravery and ingenuity--and to what it can accomplish when focused on a single goal.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo mission, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum has created wechoosethemoon.org, a unique online experience that recreates the mission in real-time, and we highly recommend it. Visitors can watch videos and learn interesting facts. If they'd had Twitter in 1969, this is how the launch would have been delivered and consumed--mission updates relayed using the social networking tool! And, as you await the heart-racing moments of liftoff, we invite you to take "one small step" of your own with our lunar lander game at digitalfrontiersmedia.com/beyond-apollo-lander-game.

Digital Frontiers Media (DFM) was successful in attaining last minute tickets to attend DrupalCon in Washington, D.C. this March 4-7, 2009. DrupalCon is the official Drupal unconference that attracts the most talented open source developers and innovative web shops in the world and brings them together to share knowledge, make decisions on the future of Drupal, and get to know each other in person.

We were recently introduced to a product called Courier from Deep Thought Software, and we were so impressed with the product that we joined up with Deep Thought Software to become one of their Preferred Developers in sharing this great solution to e-commerce clients in need. Courier is a piece of middleware that automatically enters sales from one's website into one's QuickBooks accounting system. This saves the merchant from having to use web sales reports to manually enter them into their bookkeeping system or deal with cumbersome export and import procedures.

 
Over the past 2 years, Digital Frontiers Media (DFM) has grown fonder and fonder of the Drupal Content Management System (CMS) and, more recently, the UberCart e-commerce module. We've introduced code that has been worked into some of Drupal's contributed modules; we've also provided some that has been committed into UberCart's core distribution. As a result of these experiences and building projects for clients using Drupal, DFM will be looking to start focusing even more on Drupal as one of our primary services in the future with a keen eye towards integration of multimedia into Drupal-powered sites and use of e-commerce tools such as UberCart.

Stephen Barker, President of Digital Frontiers Media, will be live with the Potomac Sports & Entertainment Network (PSEN.tv) internet show and simulcast on WTMY 1280AM radio this week. Chat for the hour will likely include topics such as website design and internet trends & technology. Tune in!
