		<description><![CDATA[Internally at my agency we now have a running joke – the two-year web site. This is mostly based on our experiences of the past six months. Since mid-2011 I&#8217;d estimate we acquired ~six new clients who were escaping bad situations with other agencies taking excessive amounts of time to complete website development projects. And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Daily deals sites are red hot right now. Appearing on one of these sites can be a big exposure boost, but it&#8217;s also important that the deal offered works for you and your business. That sounds like a no-brainer, but the web is filled with horror stories of mom-and-pop shops or early start ups getting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Harry Epstein&#8217;s Hardware is an 81-year-old hardware store on 8th Street in downtown KC. It&#8217;s one of those historic, funky, and ancient little places you could easily drive right past if you&#8217;re not in the market for an Adjustable Klein Spud Wrench or a nice Friction Thimble Micrometer &#8230; and I&#8217;m guessing most of us [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;re not going to hire an amazing web development and design agency (like us, amiright?) then there are roughly two things you should keep in mind: Keep [...]]]></description>

Familiar, yes, but it is not taking advantage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As an iPad owner, general Apple-advocate and tech geek, I&#8217;ve been getting asked this question every few weeks since the iPad came out. The frequency is accelerating with the holidays drawing near, so I&#8217;m going to reproduce some of the analysis here that I&#8217;ve been sharing via email with friends and family.

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an old Steve Jobs video talking about branding. He&#8217;s unveiling the &#8220;Think Different&#8221; campaign from 1997 and then shows the first TV spot at the end of the video. It&#8217;s a really great campaign, but pay attention to the very beginning of this talk: The big takeaway is in the first few seconds of [...]]]></description>

As of 1:00 AM this morning, myself and about a million other folks have been trying to pre-order the new iPhone 4. I started at about 7:15 AM myself. The results have been less than stellar. The white iPhone is nowhere [...]]]></description>
