The Adventures of Splish & Splash
The Adventures of Splish & Splash is a series of interactive videos designed to teach kids about pool safety. Follow along as Splish the cat and Splash the dog enjoy their backyard pool, the neighborhood public pool and then learn to swim!

This video was developed for the US Consumer Product Safety Commission in partnership with OmniStudio, a print and web design company here in Washington, DC.
We’re going to SXSW!
We didn’t quite get it together soon enough to go last year but I’m really excited to be going and I’m looking forward to making some great connections and learning as much as I can. If anyone has any tips about getting the most out of the experience I’d be happy to hear them. If you’re going to be there too I’d love to meet you for a beer and/or some of the delicious Austin BBQ I’ve heard so much about.
I’ll be tweeting from @dukeandtheduck and @alexherder so send me a tweet or follow along. If you’re going to be in Austin too, let’s meet up. It’ll be fun! If you haven’t seen it and want a quick laugh, this video is a funny guide to how to be “South by South BEST.”
Global Tiger Initiative
Did you know that there are nearly three times as many captive tigers in the US (~10,000) as there are in the wild (~3,500)? Or that a wild tiger on the black market is worth up to $50,000? We certainly didn’t, at least not until we started work on this video for the Global Tiger Initiative.
