WordPress Updates to 2.8

June 11th, 2009

Bloggers, WordPress 2.8 was released today. As usual, it is recommended that you upgrade your blog as soon as possible. While you are at it, blog updates always make a great time to archive and backup your blog files and database, especially if you do not maintain a regular backup schedule.

If you are using an outdated version of WordPress, there are many changes under the hood including a faster admin interface, security updates and over 790 bug fixes. If you aren’t familiar with the underlying system of Wordpress or have been neglecting your Wordpress-based blog, give Corporate 3 Design a call. We can bring your site up to speed, as well as provide you with a backup of your existing files including your database (an item often neglected) for $150. Contact Shawn at 402.398.3333 extension 205 orĀ  studio@c3design.com for more details.

What can good branding do for you?

May 6th, 2009

Although this was not a C3D project, it is a representation of what good branding can do.

Landor Associates was tasked with creating a brand for the Burj Dubai, what will be the tallest building in the world. One task was to create a brand that would help sellĀ  apartments for the Burj before the foundation was even poured. “In less than 24 hours, every apartment-to-be was spoken for, netting more than half a billion dollars. Even by the heady standards of the region, the branding of the Burj Dubai was off to an exceptional start.”

Snow Day!

February 13th, 2009

Yeah right! So at 5:20 this morning, I put on the news to see what the day is going to be like before the kids wake up. I see the crawl at the bottom of the screen, then look out the window, then look at the crawl again. Really? All schools are cancelled?! Hmmm, strange considering there isn’t one flake of snow falling and what he did have has long since melted. Jump to 8:30 AM. I proceed to wonder and begin to Twitter thinking it’s insane that school was cancelled.

Then…

I figured to save time later I would clean off the car at lunch time. The last image was taken at 12:35 PM. We’ll see where we are at when I leave at the end of the day.

**UPDATE**

Just checked at 2:15 and there is now 3″ of freshness on top of my car. Up to 7″ so far for the day.

**3:30 UPDATE**

Well stack 3.75″ on top of where we were at noon. So far a total of almost 8″ on the day. Crazy. Time to go drive in it. YAY!

Look at the Bling on that thing!

February 13th, 2009

Marcus decided he was going to go snowboarding in Breckenridge next week, so, why not get some new bindings. Check out the bling!

Plus it’s fun to play with the work camera!

Friday Office Fun – Board at Work

January 19th, 2009

So in an effort to wind down a little on Friday, a dart board “mysteriously” showed up at work, along with a few friends. Hmmm, I see tournaments in our future!

Let the games begin.

RDQLUS (Steve.G) explains why he’s so good at darts.

eDowns (Eric Downs of Downs Design) threatens the board.

eDowns shows us his new "Momma's Boy" tattoo. He may look tough, but he's just a teddy bear.

Hard to be tough with a Momma’s Boy tattoo on your wrist Eric!

Shartley’s utilizing stealth darts. U can only see the shadow, and once you’ve seen it, it’s too late.

Tweeting and Darting. RDQ can never stay on task.
