Some thoughts here and there.

Okay, real talk, blogging often is hard shit. We care so much about you and your time. We don’t write posts for the sake of writing posts. If we have a passionate topic, you’ll see it here. Otherwise trust we are probably just busy making something great for the citizens of the interwebs.

Site Launch – Pine Ridge Church

Pine Ridge church was one of our first church clients over 2 years ago. We did their first site, and it was awesome. Times change, and the site was no longer the revolutionary site we once loved (although we always got compliments on it, even the day before we took it down). A few months…

Why punish your best customers?

Creatives and their resumes

So often we are bombarded with run of the mill resumes. Generic, accountant style. Seth godinonce asked, why even bother having a resume. I often think that non creatives, like accountants, and HR stiffs need a typical resume. And I still expect a resume of sorts. In a recent conversation with a friend and former…

nominate factor 1 as the business of the year

We work very hard in our local community with both non profits, for profits, and even a lot of work for our chamber. The Chamber of Commerce is holding the annual awards banquet, and we think we deserve to be on the ballot. If you honestly think we meet the criteria, will you nominate us?…

the BIGGER, Badder, faster Web — keep up!

http://business.motorola.com/experiencelte/home.html   It appears we really don’t need our desktops, but most of us with laptops knew that already. My wife and I are currently getting caught up on “LOST” by watching back episodes from our wi-fi at home while snuggling in bed… turns out we will be able to do this and many more things in…

IE6 just wont die

I know I have rambled on about Internet Explorer 6 still being used by some 20% of the population, even though it was replaced 2 years ago by IE 7. So I wont spiral into that post again. I do have to share this. In a post by CSS tinderbox. Raymond shares his analogy for…
