  • musings on effective branding

    i passed by a billboard this morning on the way to whole foods that said something about build your brand and it made me think about effective branding and what that really means. “branding” is the new buzz-term in internet marketing lingo.  it applies just as much to your corporate identity as it does to…

  • it is done…

    i’m not going to publish the link yet until the client officially approves the site, but my first website for heritage is done. i was able to do most of it over the weekend and on my half day friday, overall spending maybe 8-10 hours working on it total. i was happy to find out…

  • some counters and new page in the story thingie

    i added a hit counter on the side bar.  i could host that myself, and i used to, but it tracked all page hits even from within the site and made some huge ridiculous number.  this one is externally hosted and does only unique hits.  i don’t really care and there’s probably a better way…

  • margaret atwood – lady oracle

    so i finally finished reading lady oracle. some books are those that you can’t put down. this was one i couldn’t pick up. for a period of months when given the opportunity to read, i chose to do other things. sometimes consciously, sometimes not. i finally consciously started picking it up again to read in…

  • books: lady of avalon, marian zimmer bradley

    so i’ve been reading lady of avalon and i’m a little more than halfway done with it. it’s the first book in the avalon series beyond mists that i’ve read, and i’m a little disappointed. the writing is not as engaging, and it has a slow start, but that’s not the problem i’m having with…
