E-Mail Standards
As some of you know, I recently took a job with a company in Austin called Engauge Direct. We focus our daily efforts on helping companies communicate through e-mail and micro-sites about new products, special offers, promotions, and other forms of electronic communications. Specifically, we work with Best Buy for Business, Logitech, CDW, Advocent, and [...]
To My Readers…
I ran into B-Dub’s girl yesterday and we got to talking about blog posts and the funny things that happen in our lives. During the conversation, I was asked why I wasn’t posting anymore. So to all of my three readers, I have to be honest that I have just been in a blogging funk [...]
April Fools Joke’s Abound
I arrived into work today to find the first of many April Fool’s jokes in the office and around the net. However, little did I realize that it was in fact April Fools. The company dress code at work is pretty relaxed. We can wear shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops, etc. As I [...]
Wedding Venture
So I recently had the opportunity to help a friend here in Austin with a web project that she and her man to be were trying to put together for their upcoming wedding. Becky designed a website (which is fantastic) that showcases many of the amazing pictures that their wedding photographer took here in [...]
Computer Woes
Oh man! For those of you in the design and web development world, you realize the importance of a stable work environment. And for that matter, almost everything we do on our computers these days requires a good stable environment. As for me, I have been having some trouble with my computer for a few [...]
Aqua Dots Recall
After a year chock-full of toy recalls for lead paint, small chokeable parts, and intestine-twisting magnets, parents may have thought the worst was behind them. Well, guess again. Last week brought the weirdest — and definitely the creepiest — recall with the highly publicized Aqua Dots situation. If swallowed by children, the popular toy beads can cause symptoms including [...]
I’ll Drink to That!
Interesting Article I found at work today. When gas prices continue to rise, where do our thoughts about this really fall?
Forbes would have us believe that $100 a barrel oil is a good thing, because it will encourage the development of synthetic oil from coal via a process that was too expensive to commercially develop in [...]
LA Ink
I’m not an avid watcher of LA Ink, but a guy that I met in California at the Saddleback Worship Conference a few years ago was recently on LA ink. I thought I would post his segment here. He tells of his time while on staff at church and how he was losing [...]
Day One: Completed
I just finished day one of the new job. What a difference it was from my previous job. Things move at a much faster pace at Hoover’s than they do at FEFC. Although I haven’t learned this the hard way yet, it was pretty obvious today while I was getting my feet wet. More acronyms [...]
New Adventures
Many of you have heard by now, but I thought I would post and let my few readers that frequent here know that I have accepted a new position here in Austin. My last day with FEFC will be on October 5th, just two days from the day of this post. I am [...]
