thumb We had another great webinar last week, and this one was thanks to the attendees. After a brief primer on website usability best practices, we jumped in and critiqued sites that viewers submitted. Everyone was a good sport, and I think the sites will only improve as a result. [More]

thumb 352 Media Group has started a new tradition called "The Race to 3:52", wherein each employee works on something they normally wouldn't be able to work on during business hours. The event takes place over a 24 hour period, and has only two rules: you must do something that helps the company, a client, or your own profession, and you must do something that inspires you. This isn't just for web designers and web programmers... this is a broad set of rules meant to engage us and empower all of us to enjoy our field and share our excitement with our colleagues. We were pumped! [More]
