not awesome: kids with cancer

A local photographer and a good friend of our company has a niece with a rare form of children’s cancer. We’re helping out by printing their flyers and sending people to their fundraising events, and their donation website.

We’ve all heard the “we don’t realize how lucky we are” stuff, and it sounds good and it feels good, but doesn’t offer the kind of support families need in tough times. Families need time with their loved ones and real, concrete support from people who care. Visit the website and donate to help them cover the costs of this tough time for their family.

Oh, and think about how lucky you and your loved ones are to be healthy and happy.

Hey, if you design on a laptop like I do sometimes, this is pretty cool news.

Corsair announced “the world’s first high-performance memory module for the Mac” - and that’s pretty sweet for a couple of reasons. First, it’s a sign that high-performance Windows items are integrating to the Mac. Also, it means that I can get more out of crunching huge Photoshop files while I’m watching CSI, which is also pretty freakin’ cool news, to me.

Here’s the link to the full article, thanks to Extreme Tech’s website.

Thanks to:

Christy from Mohawk Paper for helping out with our First Friday Party. We had a pretty good turnout, and it looks like most of the new Mohawk samples were picked pretty clean. There were over 50 people in our studios throughout the evening on Friday, and we followed up with some friends at ArtBar. Yes, I had a headache on Saturday. Totally worth it, though.

Kristina and Christa for a killer glamour session Sunday at the studio. You can see some of the shots on this web gallery. Pretty hot, huh?
