Communikey 2012
Their website says it best: “Communikey is a Boulder-based interdisciplinary organization dedicated to social, cultural and ecological innovation through creative process. We facilitate forward thinking cultural experiences that emphasize the intersection of sound, design and technology in artistic forms that are under-represented. Communikey forges a creative exchange across cultures, backgrounds, and mediums while fostering the development of the local arts community.”
I know I’m intrigued at what all that means! Come on out April 25-29, 2012 to check it out for yourself.

Tee Time Anyone?
This summer, Indian Peaks Golf Course will be offering a way for people to use their smartphones to improve their golf game. Pretty cool idea, isn’t it? The iPhone and Android app will allow golfers to pinpoint their location on the course, determine yardage to the green and any hazards in between. Users will also be able to view tips for each hole from the golf pro, order food from the clubhouse, schedule tee times and sign up for golf lessons.
The app is brought to you by Denver-based Slick Greens LLC.
