I try to find inspiration wherever I can find it. Luckily for me, there's a ton of it online these days. And, I can access said inspiration at any time and in any place; while I'm driving the car, cooking or even cleaning the house. Today is a pretty glorious time to be a curious person.

At long last, we've got this baby up and running. As with many of our web projects, the idea was to merge business strategy, creative vision, and current web technology to create something fresh. But what are these mysterious technologies and how do they all fit together? Let's open this thing up and see what makes it tick.
Having never belonged to a frat (excuse me, "fraternity brotherhood") in college, I thought it only appropriate to haze our intern, Alex, by covering his entire desk in Post-it® Notes.
The Apothecary is a new wine brand from Relic Wine Cellars, in St. Helena, California. Run by Michael Hirby and Schatzi Throckmorton, Relic makes modern, full-bodied wines with an obsession for the old way of doing things. When Relic approached us to design The Apothecary, we jumped at the chance.
The November issue of Novum, a German design publication, has a really nice article on Planet. But it’s the cover that caught our eye.
When checking out a company, for whatever reason, I start by getting a sense of what they stand for. Whether I’m researching a potential client, peeping the competition, or considering a new credit union, how a group thinks is just as important to me as what they do.
LeAnn Rimes released her latest album, Lady & Gentlemen a couple weeks ago. The well-received project, if’n you’re not familiar, has her covering a slew of classic country from the likes of Merle, Kris, and Waylon. And again, if’n you’re not familiar, that’s a bad-ass trio right there.
Ooh we’ve been gone for a minute! You know it’s bad when it takes you three guesses at the wordpress admin password.
Strange days, as of late, in the Capital City. A week and a half ago, Governor Walker proposed a budget repair bill that didn’t go over too well with some folks. Tens of thousands of protesters have been at/in the capitol ever since, with the crowd swelling to 70,000 or so on Saturday. It seems the only ones who aren’t at the capitol these days are Wisconsin’s 14 Democrat Senators. In an effort to delay the vote and allow for amendments, they’ve fled the state to avoid the reach of the state patrol that was sent to reel them in. Politics a go go!
I suppose it’s that time of year to get all reflective. More in that looking back way, than that good-for-running- at-night way.
It was a fine year for that sort of thing at Planet, in large part because we celebrated our 21st birthday at the end of October. And oh, what a bash. Friends, family, former Planeteers, clients past and present . . . they all made it a night to remember (until about 5 am, anyway — very fuzzy after that). Maybe most importantly, it lit one mother of a white-hot flame to fuel the next 21.
I started messing with my “out of office” e-mails again.
Once upon a time, that was just what I did: amending the usual “if you require immediate assistance…” spiel with a bit of silly whatnot. A story, a parable, a poem. For no conscious reason, at the time, other than it gave me something to do while sitting around the Madison airport, waiting for my flight to some exotic locale (via Detroit).
