A Passion For Great Design: The Mobelux Story
I wanted to build interfaces for the iPhone as soon as I’d tapped the glass on the original model. I wasn’t alone. Plenty of other interface designers saw the future in multitouch and started mocking up apps. I’d recently signed up for Tumblr and wanted to post from my iPhone so my first iOS design was meticulous views of what that app might look like. Unfortunately, Apple wasn’t allowing third party development on iPhone OS at that time so my interface was relegated to nothing more than a mobile design exercise.

Making RVA a Beer Town: The Hardywood Story
After a decade-long quest, Patrick Murtaugh and I launched Hardywood Park Craft Brewery on Ownby Lane in Richmond in October 2011. The dream, which began with our first taste of handcrafted beer at an Australian farm bearing the name Hardywood Park, was driven by our desire to enlighten others about real craft beer. While our first months of business were an exhilarating adventure, 2012 was really a landmark year for Greater Richmond’s beer scene.
Enjoy the Journey: The Bioride Story
When most people hear the word “grease,” they think John Travolta. Well this story is far from the glamour of any “Summer Lovin’.” My brother Joey Anderson and I were flipping hamburgers at your local burger joint and doing the ever-loved grease dumps when Joey came up with the idea of using waste cooking oil for fuel, but we didn’t know what to do with it. After doing research, we found out it’s recycled to make lipstick, other cosmetics, and biodiesel. That was when we were seniors in high school. I went off to college in Florida to pursue professional wakeboarding and a business management major while Joey stayed in Richmond to study advertising at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Hold on tight. The way we give is about to change. There is a new plan. Inside a ground-level office in Richmond, easily accessible to the public, Marti Beller thrusts her cell phone forward.

Sharing the Code: Tech User Groups Sync Up
The inaugural SyncRVA was a fashion show, of sorts. Attendees wore jeans, others sported khakis, yet others went with suits or dress skirts. Some were jacketed, others not. But such a fashion menagerie is expected when you put the hackers, the corporate IT types, and the web developers – all with diverse technology backgrounds and workplace attire standards– in the same room together.
Push the Button, RVA: TechCrunch Digs Us
“Where am I, again?“ That was the feeling you got after walking into what appeared to be, at least on the outside, a standard office building in Henrico County’s West End. Once you stepped in, though, that’s when things turned West Coast-y: a slide in the lobby, and beer taps not too far from that […]
