Increasing sustainability through the magical power of worms, Stephanie Davies and Amber Gribben of Urban Worm Girl are helping people get smart about the environment one compost bin at a time.

Urban Worm Girl’s mission: to educate the community on composting with worms (also known as vermiculture). Worm superhero Stephanie came to Mightybytes yesterday and set us up with a sweet in-office composting system that will take care of our coffee grounds, banana peels, leftover scones, avocados, and even some paper waste like cardboard, egg crates, and newspaper.

Last week, most of our crew from Mightybytes ventured down to the Sheraton Hotel and Towers to satiate our Drupal appetites. Here’s what we learned.

The mobile landscape, although an already booming industry, is still considered uncharted waters for many businesses looking to expand brand awareness. If integrating mobile is on your business’ radar, here are some notions to get you started building a strong strategy.

In his keynote at DrupalCon Chicago, Drupal founder Dries Buytaert said that if he had to build Drupal again from the ground up he would build it first for mobile devices and then support desktop users.
