• My mind has gone into Spotlight-Overload, I wonder if this is a fatal condition?
  If you’ve ever seen a Firespring website you will know what I’m talking about.

So, I’ve been a little negligent in updating this ol’ site of mine of late. Well, that’s a bummer because there has been plenty of things going on in this big bad world that people should know about. So in the next week or so I will try to catch everyone up to speed, so bare with me.

This clip is so purdy it brings tiny tears to my eyes. My coworker and I have been drooling over all the slick Halo 3 marketing tactics while at the same time thinking of ways to justify purchasing Xbox 360’s to our wives.

I added a couple of pieces to the Gallery. First off in the Web Design section is Cascades Humane Society. These folk were great to work with, they had clear ideas of what they wanted, while still allowing me some creative freedom. Notice that sweet little puppy at the top of the page, who could that be other than Mister P.T. himself. Check out www.cascadeshumanesociety.org and learn what they are doing to help the animals in Jackson Michigan.
