It’s the holidays…which means it’s a time for showing your coworkers how much you care for them, chocolate gifts, and well, having some fun!
Here’s a fun online tool to make a holiday video that is sure to get your coworkers laughing — and involve them at the same time. You know those mug shots you use in proposals all year? Put them to good use for a fun holiday video by Elf Yourself.
Check out a sample video of some A/E/C marketers you may know!

GreenSource online recently posted a video of the Downtown Tempe Transporation Center designed by Architekton with Otak.
The new Downtown Tempe Transportation Center caters to bus and light-rail riders, pedestrians, and bicyclists. As principal planner for the city’s transit division, Bonnie Richardson, AIA, played a key role in the project. She shows us the facility, which awaits LEED Platinum certification.

Sunday morning marked the demolition of the first building in Phoenix since the Adams Hotel in the 1970s. According to an Arizona Republic article , the implosion was filmed for a new TLC show called “Dynamite Family,” which will begin airing in December. The building at Third Street and Earll Drive housed Mountain Bell and Qwest Communications since it was built in 1972 until 2003. Local architect Al Beadle originally designed the glass-and-steel office building.
Powered by dynamite situated in the basement, stairwells, elevators shafts and first floor, the building fell gracefully as promised — an implosion contrary to the explosions commonly seen in action movies, the Arizona Republic article noted.
In case you missed the action, here’s a video captured by Mark Roddy last Sunday morning.
Upon receiving Phoenix Business Journal’s e-mail about ‘Volunteerism — The Heart of Business Awards 2009′ finalists, I was pleased to see A/E/C firms represented on the list!
McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. is a finalist in the ‘Most Outstanding Company Project’ for medium-sized businesses (100-499 employees), called “Heart Hats.”
Kristy Kevitt of SmithGroup and long-time member of SMPS Arizona is also a finalist in the ‘Volunteer Spirit’ award for her ‘See Kili Our Way’ campaign, raising over $200,000 for the Foundation for Blind Children, and summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania while managing to break two World Records — the youngest blind person to summit (13 years old) and the largest group of blind climbers to summit.
Award winners will be announced at the awards reception Nov. 10 at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts.
Congratulations to those in the A/E/C industry who are being recognized for their service to fellow Arizonans!!
