Today, Hawaii’s own Civil Beat celebrates its first birthday. Can’t believe it’s been a year already. One year is just a speck of time and yet, it feels like Civil Beat has been making an impact for much longer. Thanks for the investigative reporting and congratulations on the milestone. Here’s CB’s video commemorating their first […]
At events, I’d see Civil Beat employees sporting custom branded t-shirts. Simple, yet clean designs that I always craved. Through their hospitality, I managed to get one! Yay! But really, my hidden agenda for wanting this tee? Besides its cool factor, it’s a good match for these Air Max 95 Bright Mandarin kicks!! Not quite […]
Ooops, sorry about that. Pulpconnection was beaten civilly (I think) by a Civil Beat tweet. There was a big spike in server resources (see that blue and red lines climb?) that made this site unresponsive. Rebooted and now back online (kinda sorta). #becivil!
Just one more dark variation of Civil Beat inspired kicks, and this time testing out NikeID’s embed code. Check out theNike Air Max 95 iD ShoeI designed at NIKEiD.com This is the generated wallpaper version.
Have you seen the redesign of the Civil Beat web site? It’s cleaner and has more visual elements that pop. So how would this new design translate to Nike kicks? Well, it might look like these (iconic) Air Max 95s. The “light” colorway. The “dark” colorway. I’d rock either of these (in a size 10)! […]
On Wednesday’s Bytemarks Cafe radio show, Burt and Ryan interviewed some of the talent from local startup Peer News. Editor John Temple and Developer Ryan Kanno talked about Civil Beat, its background, its goals, and just about everything else. If you missed the show, it’s now available for listening (the Civil Beat interview is about […]
Hawaii startup Peer News is online and poised to revolutionize the changing landscape of journalism with Civil Beat. May 4th is the official launch date, but Civil Beat is currently open for business in a soft launch mode. I joined as an early subscriber (and at a reduced cost) to see what the potential future […]
You have to love Civil Beat’s display of the 2012 poll results. So clean and simple with a clear view of the information. The coverage of the Star Advertiser isn’t bad but relies on a slider to navigate between the various results. At least the Star Advertiser removed that obnoxious advertisement they had in 2010.
My Nike Air Max 95 Mandarin Oranges goes well with Civil Beat’s tee, and it also matches this shirt by solar company, Revolusun! Thanks for the sun-powered shirt Revolusun!
Did you watch Civil Beat’s first birthday video? This wonderful, informative, and stylish documentary was created by Micro Documentaries. Check out their portfolio for some very, very nice work. I didn’t realize it at the time, but they did the ReThink Hawaii video a few years back. I don’t know about costs, but definitely a […]
Okay, really there’s no Kicks Wednesday, but there’s been some interesting shoe-related tidbits floating around. First up, Twitter and Facebook inspired kicks. I prefer the design elements of the Twitter sneaker but that sky blue color scheme is harder to match. But really, I’m partial to these Civil Beat-inspired Nike Air Max 95s. 😉
I’m not into politics, but when I wanted to follow the latest with Hawaii’s 2010 Primary election online, I had two choices. Which one do you prefer? About a third of the screen of the Star Advertiser site was advertisements! Meanwhile on Civil Beat, you could glance at poll results, headlines, and discussion in the […]
