I believe it was my business partner Jessica who first said the word Pinterest out loud. I asked what she was referring to and I was shown this odd website that looked like a mix between an ad agency’s mood wall and some gal’s “vision board”. I joked that I hadn’t heard of Pinterest, but [...]
I was talking with my friend Rachel, and she was explaining she spends more and more time reading blogs these days. It’s not particularly surprising. ”Blog” is really one of those non-words, because it attempts to explain far too large a category. There are an endless variety of blogs out there, from the informative to [...]
The internet is constantly evolving, and as the owner and lead developer for a web development studio, I am in the constant state of re-teaching myself how it is that I perform the work I do. While I imagine workers in most fields need to keep aware of whatever is occurring in their profession [...]
One of my favorite things to do is cook. I was lucky enough to grow up in a home with fresh cooked meals prepared nightly (not including Friday pizza night of course) – and so shortly after college when I found myself living out on my own, I began to try to teach myself how [...]

This is episode #2 of what is quickly becoming an animated series depicting real meetings with clients and the interesting requests and feedback we get on a regular basis.
This episode is actually a composite of two design reviews we had over the past couple weeks. I love my clients – but sometimes you really [...]
This past week we had a series of back-n-forth conversation with one of our favorite clients, regarding a banner ad they had already received approval for from their client. Try as I might, I couldn’t seem to convince them that what they were asking for just wasn’t realistic.
For the heck of it, we’ve now recreated [...]
It’s been a rough couple weeks.
A close friend lost his sister in a car accident three weeks ago – and just when I was beginning to breath regularly again and not self-reflect the incident on my own reality and my own beloved family – I received a Facebook message from one of my closest friend’s [...]
