Angeline’s Bakery
It took a while to post, but I’m real proud of working with Sisters, Oregon Graphic Designer Lynn Woodward this last summer on launching a re-designed website for Angeline’s Bakery, also in Sisters.
Lynn did the design and I did the WordPress coding. Please check it out, and drop by to visit the bakery.

Are you a Bacon American?
Had lots of fun with this one. Check out the Bacon American Burger Campaign.
Gluten Free RN
We just recently launched a website redesign for Nadine Grzeskowiak at Gluten Free RN, out of Corvallis, Oregon.
I’m really happy with the final design and WordPress website. Please take a look and get in touch with Nadine if you are interested in learning more about a Gluten Free diet or resources for Celiac Disease.
Bend Oregon
My family and I have moved to Bend, Oregon.
The mountains, rivers, and lakes are beautiful here. With 300 days of sun, it’s hard to imagine a more spectacular outdoor-adventureland.
Only three short-hours away from Corvallis, I will still be consulting on a regular basis. However, I will not be doing any more in-person meetings in Corvallis. I will be looking to pick up some local Bend clients, once I hit my stride and learn a new schedule with Stacey – who is now teaching math at Summit High School – and Lily, our two year old daughter.
It appears there is a strong media demographic here. The 2010 Bend WebCAM conference is coming up, and I think it would be a great opportunity to put my feelers out there, testing the market pulse.
Otherwise, I’m learning the new demographic makeup here, and the differences in businesses. There are many more recreation-sports businesses in Bend, than Corvallis. I think this goes perfectly with my background. We’ll see.
Standing Desk
I upgraded to a “Standing Desk” today:
After learning in college about the downside of having a job where you sit on your butt all day long, I proceeded to do just that. So, today I created a hybrid standing desk by putting one of my spare desks on top of my main office desk.
It is pretty stable, so it should work, as long as I don’t get too frustrated and start pounding downwards with extra force.

Ratio of Productivity
Last Winter, I found that I was spending long days in my office and getting an average amount of work done. At the end of each day, I would look at my hours and see that I put in the time, yet feel as though I didn’t accomplish much. This lead me to putting in more hours, and yet – still – getting an average amount of work done.
I was frustrated with my “lack of productivity,” and the waning hours in the day. So, I tried Cherry Picking.

Honest Economy
I found $20 in the post office today. It was sitting in the middle of the floor. A woman with a purse had just walked by. I picked it up and went up to her. “Is this yours?” I asked. She replied, “No. Sorry.”
Another woman had just entered the line. She had a purse, and also recently walked by. “I’m sorry, I think you dropped this,” I said to her. “No. I don’t think so. Thanks, though.”

Beckon Call Window Cleaning
Today I launched a new website for Jim Ordway at Beckon Call Window Cleaning, out of Halsey, Oregon. Jim’s a great guy and we got this project under-foot and moving along at a very quick pace.
I’m very happy with the final product. Take a look, and get in touch with him for your Windows if you’re local to the Willamette Valley. He’s a professional who takes his business seriously, and he does some great looking work.
Turman Financial Group
I’m really excited to announce the launch of John Turman’s “Turman Financial Group, LLC” website, as of this weekend.
We worked together with Trent Bingham to create the awesome logo. The site itself was built using WordPress for the CMS, and XHTML/CSS for the front-end.
