I Love Boulder community project launches iPhone and Facebook apps Local creative shops build free, social apps that make sharing the things you love about Boulder even easier
Boulder, Colo – April 6, 2011 – The I Love Boulder community-powered campaign just got more social with two new digital applications from local shops Rage Digital and Aftermath Interactive. The applications, an iPhone app andFacebook app respectively, are making it even easier to share photos, tweets and other digital content that highlight the things Boulder residents love about their city.
Rage Digital’s I Love Boulder App for iPhone Rage Digital, Boulder’s nationally acclaimed iOS design and development shop, created the I Love Boulder app for iPhone. The mobile photo sharing application makes it easy to customize and share photos of the things you love about Boulder on Facebook, Twitter andFlickr. Download the free app here. “We love Boulder!” says Andrew Kimmell, Art Director at Rage Digital. “When we came across the campaign, we felt immediately compelled to contribute. The iPhone app we created allows users to place a digital ‘I Love Boulder’ sticker over the photos they take around Boulder, then easily share those photos with their friends. It’s an easy and fun way to capture the crazy things and beautiful surroundings Boulderites see every day, and we’re excited to be helping iPhone users get involved.” To check out photos the I Love Boulder community is sharing right now, visit http://bit.ly/LoveBoulder-FLK.
Aftermath Interactive’s I Love Boulder App for Facebook Aftermath Interactive, a local creative and web design firm, created the custom I Love Boulder Facebook application. The apps can interface with any Facebook page and shares information about the founding and community partners that made the campaign possible as well as direct interaction with the iPhone app.
“We created these apps to provide a way for I Love Boulder fans to interact with the project, while also giving everybody the ability to add these apps to their own Facebook pages,” said Creative Director at Aftermath Interactive Sean Allen. “Participating in a community project like I Love Boulder is what makes living and working in the Boulder area so rewarding – the ability collaborate with community-minded people that really do care.”
The applications will enhance the communities’ ability to share content seamlessly.

CU-BOULDER TO HOST CAMPUS MASTER PLAN OPEN HOUSE ON MARCH 16
Mar 14th
The Campus Master Plan, a guiding document required by the Colorado Commission of Higher Education, outlines campus development over the next decade. The university began the planning process over a year ago with eight task force groups consisting of members from the campus and the community. Each task force provided input on larger focus areas and subjects. After receiving final reports from each task force, the university hired consultants for technical areas, compiled information, and wrote the draft plan.
“The Campus Master Plan represents a convergence of key communities on campus and within the city of Boulder,” said CU-Boulder Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano. “We are putting forth a bold vision — one that makes maximum use of our existing resources, promotes sustainability and innovation, and that will accommodate new generations of students. Together, moving the plan forward, we are laying the groundwork for a bold new century for CU-Boulder.”
Following the 30-day comment period, planners will finalize the document and submit it for approval to campus planning and design boards, the Board of Regents and ultimately the CCHE. The approved Campus Master Plan will guide CU-Boulder campus development until 2020.
The Center for Community is located on the CU-Boulder campus on Regent Drive, just east of Broadway, and the Flatirons Room is located on the third floor. Pay visitor parking is located just west of the building. After 5 p.m. the parking lot across the street is free.
A draft of the master plan will be available for download on March 16 at http://www.colorado.edu/masterplan.
Yes on 3A. Restore Classroom Funding in Boulder Valley Schools
Oct 9th
We have an opportunity this election to stand up for Boulder Valley K-12 schools and take back the cuts that are being made to education by voting yes on 3A. This would provide the local support to restore funding to the classrooms, teachers, and broaden early childhood development. This can result in a more focused approach, more teachers, smaller classrooms and better education for children.
