Bonny Fleming’s Photography Show – Somewhere Else Instead
Today is the BIG DAY, Bonny’s photo show will open at 5:00 pm. [nggallery id=10] It has been an effort to get this show together. Sometimes it was an effort of love and other times it was a table-full of sketches, thumbnails and yes, there was a heartfelt discussion or two about the best way to get the job done. …
2010’s Internet numbers
Back in the old days of advertising we used to look at media reach – how many subscribers a newspaper had, how many viewers watched a tv show, how many ears tuned into a radio broadcast. Then we would apply what now seems like caveman-like formulas to calculate what kind of return on investment an advertising campaign might deliver. Even …
OH NO – NO ICED VENTI CUPS! –Or- Never underestimate your customers’ expectations
Bonny and I went to Starbuck’s drive thru this morning just like we do on way too many other mornings. We ordered our usual two iced venti lattes – one with two raw sugars. The speaker voice said, ‘Um, we are all out of iced venti clear cups.’ ‘Well,’ Bonny said, ‘How about putting them in your hot venti cups …
Email newsletters – are they still effective?
The oldest (and in my opinion one of the best) social media platforms is email newsletters. Today I received newsletters from both the US Forest Service and the Game Fish and Parks. The Forest Services’ was an information blast on how they were taking action to control noxious weeds in the Black Hills. And the GF&P’s was a roundup of …

Lets talk downloads…
I recently switched form CS2 to CS4, there are things I like and things I don’t and even something’s I don’t understand yet (imagine that). Back a while I was still a CS2’er I discovered the exciting new world of downloadable presets for Photoshop. Brushes, Custom Shapes, Gradients, Actions etc. When I made the switch to CS4 I thought I …
Photo What?
When I was 10 my dad got this really cool program for his computer. I think it was called Photoshop. He showed me how to use a couple of the tools, I remember specifically the “smudgy finger tool” was of particular interest. I played with it for a while and made (drew) a picture of a candle. I remember thinking …
… I think I have a problem.
This morning… I… Well, I’ll let the picture do the talking.
Just say no to Internet Explorer
… I’ve been pulling my hair out this past week because of my dear friend Internet Explorer. Now, I could sit here and type on and on about why Explorer sucks and why you shouldn’t use it, but quite honestly I don’t want to and a quick trip to Google would provide you with more than enough reason to make …
A soothing service
I was Stumbling around this weekend and I Stumbled Upon this site. I was made to stop. Usually, I will instantly close/Stumble away from any site with intrusive sound. This one held me for a while. It felt good to just let it play and relax for a little while. Give yourself some Zen time.

Soon we will be communicating with you and you will be …
Social Media Stumbling
If there is one thing that can be said about me, it’s that I Stumble a lot. What’s that? No, no, I don’t trip over everything, I use Stumble Upon. It is a plugin for most browsers that will (after a brief survey) deliver websites tailored to your interests. Being a tec and web savvy kinda person, I tend to …
Inspiration…
Its easy to create when the project is itself an inspiration. I want to share a logo I did for CHS Players (Central High Theatre Department) I designed it for the State One Acts competition. The kids go east river each year to perform an original piece written, directed and choreographed by Justin Speck. There has been a reoccurring theme …

So its 7:31..
… even though my computer says its 7:31 in the morning. (I’m still getting used to Vista) I’m sitting here alone at work enjoying the silence and this song Johnny Cash is singing to me. I recently re-discovered Pandora, and subsequently am rediscovering lots of great stuff i once knew about but have since forgotten. Why am I here so …
