Kingston Digital Corridor
March 24th, 2012
Kingston Digital Corridor is a group of – and for – tech folks, independent creatives and artists in and around the Kingston, NY area.
Our primary goal is to bring folks like this together, both in a social setting and on the web – and to provide folks who need their services with a way to connect. We also share information about community events and organizations.
The social aspect of KDC is served chiefly by our monthly “Happier Hour” events, which occur on the last Wednesday of each month. The location of each is announced on our website, our linkedIn and Facebook pages, and our twitterfeed.
Here you’ll find KDC & area news, information on upcoming events and links to many community resources - to help you discover Kingston.

 Kingston – The Dig Kids, an Urban Farming Program created by the Kingston Land Trust with a grant from the Columbia Foundation and donation by Family of Woodstock invites Kingston Citizens to celebrate their success.
Since May, five Kingston youth between the ages of 15 – 19 have been paid to work weekly and grow vegetables under the stewardship of Farmer Jesica Clark, a first generation organic farmer. Through the Dig Kids program, the teenagers have transformed the front of the community center while learning valuable farming skills that include garden visioning, soil construction, companion planting, harvesting and preparing or donating their vegetables.

A very interesting event was held this evening at Stella May Productions in Kingston.
The description of the event (from its’ facebook page):
DISCUSS > FOCUS > ACT
Help us consciously create a vibrant community.
Transcending the typical panel discussion — stimulating but often fruitless — we’ll focus on turning vision into reality. We’ll use an organized creative thinking process to explore the issues that matter most and, more importantly, act on them.
More on the event, with a video stream, after the jump.

I frequently am asked, or overhear someone asking, “What exactly is the Kingston Digital Corridor?”
It usually comes up, at least once, from someone attending a KDC Happier Hour. I’ve also noted the answer differs, depending on who was asked.
Niche.
I’m a latecomer to the Kingston Digital Corridor so what I perceive as the purpose of the KDC may not cohere with the concept at its creation. I had heard of its first events but regretfully missed them. But it appealed to me. Spending more of my day in front of a computer with virtual teams instead of in an office with live humans made the group particularly appealing. Connection with like-minded individuals with real versions of virtual people!
I can’t speak to its origins, nor can I speak for what it means to you, but I can tell you what it means to me. It’s a place where I have an opportunity to make face-to-face contact with an eclectic bunch of creatives and burgeoning digerati in our beautiful Hudson Valley community. It’s a pleasure to meet every single one of you, hear about the connections you’ve made because of KDC introductions, and absorb some of the energy thriving in our area.
Neighborhood.
Some would pose the Internet brought us further apart. From my perspective, I think it’s helped pull back some of our sprawl into smaller, more closely knit communities. Social media can help drive our community closer together. Modes like Twitter make it easy to call over the fence, to distribute and communicate news digitally, and to connect with other locals who have similar interests. But it shouldn’t end there.
Let us be an offline hub – all are welcome. Expand connections, increasingly born digitally, off of the grid, and help make our community a more connected place to be.
What can we do together? How can we help you? What do you think the Kingston Digital Corridor should be, or already is?

 I’ve been thinking a lot about those of us who work as sole-proprietors in the world of digital creative contractors. Whether we’re offering video, interactive, copywriting, design, programming, animation, photography or a dozen other possible services, we all have to sell ourselves to prospective clients as having a range of skills. I’ve coined the term blender… are you a blender? Read more here:
