The Blog Post As A Christmas Card

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

What was going to be a newsletter is now a hastily composed blog post. I have precious few hours before we travel home to spend a few days with family and way too many hors d’oeuvre. Yay!!


(Merry Christmas…by Flickr user Tio)

And so, I wish thee all a very Merry Christmas (that’s what celebrate in my family) and I will see you all again very soon.

Sidebar:: As a bonus link, I was looking through my sister’s copy of Vanity Fair, and I noticed an interesting ad for Target, which spanned several top 1/3 pages, featuring sheet music for Tony Bennett’s “I’ll be home for Christmas,” remixed by Moby. I thought that was pretty cool, then I went to download it at the link they gave: www.target.com/tonybennettremix. What was really neat was that you can download it as a GarageBand file (Macs only, snobs!) and remix it yourself.

David Blaine hanging in a box to promote Target = 1.0
Tony Bennett + Moby + UGC (User Generated Content) = 2.0

Again, enjoy your holidays everyone, and get wound up to honor those resolutions come January one!
Love,

Jordan and Alex

Happy Birthday to Tell Ten Friends

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

The blog turns 1-year-old this week, the company celebrates that same milestone this Spring.

As an early birthday and Christmas present, Rob has been making tweaks to the site again, to the back end as reported earlier and most noticeably, to the banner.

I love it. It’s Vancouver, it’s fun and it features a great photo by Rob himself, of False Creek and BC Place. The stadium which, sans inflatable roof, will be home of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics in 2010. Great job, mate!
