Written by James - 81 Comments

Bloggers continually produce posts to maintain a consistent, regular publishing pattern to keep readers happy. And if they’re going to take some time off, they should let people know that they’ll be disappearing-…
Wait. Say what? Disappearing? Not posting? Unheard of. How dare we. Bloggers taking leave of absences? Without permission? Without leaving something for people [...]

Do Images Move You Too Much?

Written by James - 38 Comments

When you look at this picture, what do you see?

Depending on your perception, your mood, your frame of mind and a thousand other factors, you might see a duck or a rabbit. It’s all up to you and how you perceive the world.
Art is like that.
Writing is extremely subjective, and what might seem like creative [...]

What a Horoscope, Twitter, and Blog Packs Have in Common

Written by Harry - 25 Comments

Yup, the question of the past few weeks seems to be, “Where’s Harry hiding?” I’ve been in stealth mode for a few weeks while we prepare new projects and work for our clients.
