Armadillo Blacksout For SOPA & A Better Internet
December 10, 2011
Today, January 18th, Team Armadillo is joining hundreds of web sites across North America in “blacking out in support of the anti-SOPA and anti-PIPA”:http://sopastrike.com/ movement.
And while it’s great news that “SOPA (The Stop Online Privacy Act) has been shelved by Congress”:http://www.zeldman.com/2012/01/16/ding-dong-sopa-is-dead/ for the time being, it still doesn’t address some of the underlying threats towards the web industry in North America. It’s a step forward, but governments north and south of the 49th parallel must show a greater understanding of the importance of this emerging industry.

DCWEEK2011: Armadillo Invades Digital Capital Week
November 14, 2011
Members of Team Armadillo are once again excited to announce our participation in Washington DC’s “Digital Capital week”:http://www.digitalcapitalweek.org/. Running from the week of November 4th, the Digital Capital Week (“#DCWEEK”:http://ford.getgrandstand.com/) unites the ever growing DC, Virginia, and Maryland tech community in a barrage of conferences, talks, parties and local home grown events. Last year, we were lucky enough to attend a variety of “events through out the inaugural week”:http://blog.armadillostudios.ca/article/armadillo-invades-digital-capital-week, so we are more than excited for round 2.
To kick off our participation, members of Team Armadillo volunteered our time to help out local DC organization, “Bread For The City, with their DCWEEK Tech Day last saturday”:http://digitalcapitalweek.org/2011/11/dcweek-community-profile-greg-bloom/. For a first run and such a unique concept the event was a fantastic success. The entire day united a variety DC tech volunteers with the local clients of Bread For The City. There was a fantastic amount of sharing of knowledge and some great conversation between community members and tech innovators. It was a great event to be apart of and we were more than happy to lend a hand.
In addition, to checking out some of the other events throughout the week, Team Armadillo will be partaking in the all-day “Core Conference on Thursday November 10th”:http://dcweek2011.sched.org/overview/type/dcweek+conference and also two discussions on Friday November 11th – “Gamification Perspectives
Diverse approaches to engagement, design, problem solving, & avoiding the buzz”:http://dcweek2011.sched.org/event/d1e5e9cc0281f93178c16d46b17e68ce and also “Vote Tech”:http://dcweek2011.sched.org/event/1db45c0d149762d28562a77c57c79948.
It’s sure to be an exciting week and if you see memebers of Team Armadillo around, say hello and we’ll even share a couple of our beloved stickers with you.

Three New Web Sites To Kickstart The Fall
October 10, 2011
As usual things have been fairly exciting in the *Armadillo Studios camp* for the past few months. In addition to our usual gambit of web design projects, we are also working furiously to launch our first “iPhone App”:http://apps.armadillostudios.ca and on a re-branding of our main corporate web site to celebrate our “5th Anniversary”:http://blog.armadillostudios.ca/article/what-does-armadillo-studios-do. But in the meantime, we’d also like to share with you three new site releases that we just rolled out at the beginning of September.
These three new projects are the launch of “klintec.tv”:http://klintec.tv, and the redesigns of “tdstock.com”:http://wwww.tdstock.com and “ctoverdrive.ca”:http://www.ctoverdrive.ca.

The Big Switch From Written Manuals To Video Tutorials
September 30, 2011
*Armadillo Studios* has always prided ourselves in creating great personal relationships with all our clients. Our philosophy is to view our clients not as customer, but as members of a big warm happy family. One of the techniques we have used to build that type of relationship is to provide a fantastic suite of personalized support with all our products. One of our key elements has been the creation of customized manuals to accompany all our web sites.
When we first started creating these manuals, things were a bit simpler. WordPress was a very standard tool and our client pool was much more manageable. But as our sites have became more complex and our client base has grown, it has become more difficult to provide comprehensive instruction manuals that cover all aspects of our clients products.
So like any good company we have chosen to grow and adapt. Since the beginning of September we’ve taken the bold step towards *developing customized video tutorials*.
