It was a long journey to a short two days, but both Jodie (Design Goddess) and Diana (Social Diva, Wordsmith, Pro Nit-picker) attest that it was well worth it! Here’s a recap of the inspiring conference for Creatives from the perspective of our two favorite female team members. D: From the fancy swag to the amazing speakers to partying with the other Creative-types, I couldn’t have spent those two days in any better way. J: Yeah. It was a super […]
Here was a fun project we enjoyed working on for an enthusiastic, history-focused, non-profit group. Make sure you attend the event if you can. You won’t regret it!
The History. TymeShift is an application we wanted to create because there was nothing out there that would do what we wanted it to do! What we were looking for was this: A 1-page time-tracking system (No flipping windows for different ticket) Down-to-the-minute reporting to assess where time is spent More granular reporting (again, to know where every last moment was spent) The ability to track time case-by-case in order to bill properly (No estimating) A simple way of managing payroll and internal […]
People frequently ask us what can they do to either speed up or protect their XP computers since they are now no longer supported by Microsoft. Now, we realize it is hard to accept, but since XP came out fourteen years ago, it’s only natural that Microsoft move on. There will never again be any real protection for the XP operating system. Also important to note, is that – since the hardware is also much older – there is no hardware […]

A question came in from Burt. He asked, “I drive for a living. A LOT. What kind of technology device(s) would you recommend so that I can stay in contact with the world, yet stay safe while driving?” Here’s my response to him: Technology is more and more mobile.

If your laptop is going to be plugged into AC power for an extended period of time and the battery is charged, remove the battery for longer battery life. Always use your laptop on a hard surface. This is essential for proper cooling. Batteries do not like to be hot! You would […]
Most people don’t put a lot of thought into creating a password. It’s usually easiest just to create a short, easy-to-remember password, or even just to use the same password for every account you have. After all, the average person probably won’t be able to guess your password. However, hackers often use password-cracking software that can keep testing many different passwords until they find the correct one, and they can easily crack weak passwords. By creating strong passwords, you can […]
