  1. Professional Communication 101
    May 13, 2012 in Other

    I get a fair number of emails related to potential project work and I’m often surprised at them for a number of reasons.  I’ll go through some specifics in a moment, but my thesis is this: the web is a communications medium.  If you are involved in the creation of websites as a paid professional it means you are a professional in the Communications industry.  Take the time to ensure that your business communications reflect that.

    Men in Black II. My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Sweeping forest fires in Colorado. Snipers in DC. The Euro becomes official. Queen Elizabeth dies. No Child Left Behind act signed into law by President George W. Bush. Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, UT.

    Remember the year?  Remember the decade?

    I do, quite well.

  3. Mobile Web Development
    May 1, 2012 in Boyink Interactive News

    I’m pleased to announce that Boyink Interactive is now a dedicated mobile web development shop.

    But it’s not what you are thinking.

    While I am getting more involved in the world of responsive web design with the goal of sites that adapt themselves to both the desktop and smaller-screened devices, that’s really not the topic of this announcement.

    Rather, the Boyink family is no longer weighed down with the ownership of a stationary sticks-and-bricks house.  At approximately 11:30 AM ET on April 27th we tucked (shoved?) the last remaining possession from our house into our fifth-wheel trailer, climbed in the truck, and pulled out of the driveway that we had called home for 16 years.

  4. Boyink! World Headquarters for Sale
    March 9, 2012 in Boyink Interactive News

    The formal listing will happen on Monday, but we’re too excited to wait to make all the announcements.  After 16 years of ownership, blood, & sweat we are putting Boyink! World Headquarters up for sale. 

    This is part of our master plan to become fully mobile, ideally by mid-May.  I’ve posted the details of the house including photos and price on our Adventure Site.

    No, we don’t know where we’re going once back on the road.  Yet, anyway.  Too much to think about between now and then!

    Here’s the latest in my series of garage creations.  I’m not sure what the final resting home of these pieces will be but I’m sure having fun making them.  The entire process - from scrounging at the recycling yard, to arranging potential pieces in the garage, to the welding/assembling to the viewing and enjoying is sheer pleasure.  I really like the fact that once they are done, they are done.  There’s no subsequent need to update the system files or the 3rd party add-ons, or take backups.
