Last year, I had the opportunity to contribute an article to ICOSA Magazine, a website that we launched the new online version of earlier this year.

Check out the full article here.

I currently sit on the Board of Directors of a Denver-based organization, Ethiopia Reads. Earlier this year we completely revamped their website (gratis) and have been working on some additional marketing & advertising strategies to get the organization the exposure it deserves.

Yesterday afternoon I got a very nice email from Google entitled, "Welcome to Google Grants!" with a nice little welcome packet. 

As a grantee, Google provides us with a competitive $120,450 in advertising budget per year through their Google Adwords product. This is pretty awesome. 

I have some new ideas coming for the ER website as well as how we are going to rock out this campaign. So excited. 

If you are unfamiliar with the Google Grants program and are affiliated with a non profit in any way, you should check it out.

As one of our clients, Colorado Ballet, celebrates their 50th season, they asked us to participate in a commercial down on the 16th Street Mall in Denver. We figured it would be us saying how much we enjoyed the Ballet and congrats on the season . . . well it was; except we had to wear tutus while we did it. 

So us and another 50 to 100 folks took turns in front of some cameras to help them with footage to create a series of commercials that will air throughout their entire season this fall. Not sure what all stations it will be on and if we even made the cut, but there is something incredibly empowering about wearing a tutu...

Oh yeah, here is a photo:

Myself, Carol, Erick, & Chad

A few weeks ago, Carol decided that we needed some greenery in the office. Instead of buying plants for the office, she slowly consumed several avocados at home and one-by-one brought us each a couple of seeds for us to grow our own plants on our desks.

So for the past few weeks, each of us has cared for at least one and up to three seeds in either shot glasses or plastic cups. We have had a few comments from clients walking through seeing shot glasses everywhere, so I just wanted to set the record straight that we are just experimenting with some low-level horticulture.

Here is the progress so far...

The best of my three...nice split, but been pretty lack in activity the last week or so...

Carol's = first to show solid green

Chad has nice splitage and some sparse downward growth

Erick's has some narrow splitage, but solid downward root growth

Steve's has some amazing curling root growth, however, I think he needs to upgrade from the shot glass

Waller's for sure has the most impressive root structure...might be time to start adding soil

So what does this have to do with web design? Nothing, but perhaps eventually we'll have our clients over for some home-made guac.
