It works like this: the elf makes his appearance around the holidays (or earlier, depending on [...]

Holding Court at Blue Ion
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008Here’s a sneak peek inside our weekly production meetings – where we run through the stuff that needs to get done, tell some jokes, and blame whoever sits closest to you for projects running late. This week, MH and NW were asked to take charge and lead the meeting. The responsibility must have gone to [...]

Run Up A Hill
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008Ran a fun but painful trail race in Asheville this weekend. The weather was perfect and the leaves were prime. But 17.8 uphill miles resulted in blood, sweat and tears. Fortunately, the blood wasn’t mine. I carried a video camera to share the joy.

Awards Entry
Thursday, September 25th, 2008In typical BI fashion, we were once again late in entering the InShow awards, a regional contest put on by the SC chapter of AIGA. Launching 4 major sites in the span of a week could have something to do with the delinquency, but I’m not one to make excuses. I am, however, a well-schooled [...]

Bald Faced vs. Bold Faced
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008Today there was some debate over the correct use of the term “bald face liar.” To settle the point, and help guide future workplace discussions, here is the official word on usage (it’s official because it comes from WikiAnswers):

Just Add Water
Friday, September 19th, 2008Joined the Park(ing) Day gang this morning to help set up the mini parks downtown by Charleston’s Market.. In just an hour things transformed from a boring slab of asphalt to an urban oasis featuring a music stage, sunflower garden, farmer’s market, mini dog park (for mini dogs), green car and ping pong park. Here’s [...]

Happy Birthday Mike!
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008Today we celebrated Mike’s day of birth with a fun-filled BBQ feast at Melvins. Because September 1 is the most special of days, we asked one of his heroes to stop by for singing and cake. Funny thing…the a/c is always cranking at Melvins so we all had to wear ski jackets. I only wish [...]
