Nola....
Hello. Hello. Yes, I know. Two posts in one day!?!? It must be a special day. Well, it was a very special weekened in the 805 Collective family. On Saturday, Seth and his wife brought their second daughter, Nola, into the world. Take a look. Be amazed!!!
Look Mom, We're on T.V.!!!!
If you don't mind me saying, 805 Collective, just made a pretty sweet site for a really sweet company: Food for the Hungry.
Its really fun to be able to do a site with a company that does such great things for the world.
It just so happened that a few days ago, Lindsay Branham, the communications coordinator for Food for the Hungry, was on CNN talking about the work that she had been doing in the Congo for the past year, and the website got mentioned and shown on CNN.
It ended up being a really great piece. Well done Lindsay, stay safe.
And the Hits Keep Coming.
OK. Life never stops. Big moments don't wait for you to be ready for them. And the 805 team has had quite a few the past few weeks. Don't worry we've been getting a ton of work done but this post will be about the personal happenings of our lives. First off on the duties list for me is to report that my wife and I had our second child two weeks ago, on August 28. His name is Charlie, and he is sooo super sweet, and having a second child has been amazing. Benjamin, my other son, is extremely excited about being a big brother.
So with Seth's child coming soon, I'm going to get all of the "Seth you don't understand. I have two children" line for a few months....
in other news, Jeremy's company One Truth has finally shut it's doors. He shipped off the last order, to Bill from Canada, last friday. Thats it. The book is written. Jeremy was extremely excited to see this get accomplished. He took this picture and sent it with Bill's order, which i'm sure Bill will be extremely excited about.
During the packing up of all the orders, there were a few Germans hanging out in the wherehouse/office, a bunch of empty boxes, a video camera, a new sport to explore. check it out.
Big Beige Baby
A lot has happened since the last post, best of all, Jeremy has returned home. I'm sure he's already planning his next great adventure, but it's nice to have him back. Well a site that was just finished when I joined on to the 805 team back in March was the site for Beige Apparel.
My first or second job was working on a small detail on this site.
I had a good time the past two weeks watching the Olympics and seeing all the athletes for the most part get along far better then the countries governments could ever dream to get along. Like how this guy from Kenya won the marathon, and like 10,000 Chinese people roared their approval as he came into the stadium and finished up the 26 mile race. He was in tears as he crossed the line. It was amazing. I was pretty inspired.
Other than that, things are getting back to normal. Seth is still breaking laws daily like this pic:
It took a little over a month, but I finally got the chandelier put together. You have to have an opinion on this, love it or hate it. We love it.
There's been a few other recent additions to the decorations at the 805 office...including a few zebra pieces.
and a painting done by Seth.
So, for now, have a good week. Enjoy the rest of Sunday, and try to break an Olympic Record this week.
Mmmmm. Coffee.
Ok. So I don't think I'm on track to blog for 805 Collective every day. But I promise it's not because I'm not keeping busy. Jeremy is still down south (really really south) and Seth is holding down the fort here. I'm gonna tell you about a site that the guys did recently, and it's one they did for a place that we actually frequent. Ladies and gentlemen, if you like coffee check out the Nautial Bean. The guys tackled this web design project having already done some work for Brett, and the folks down at Nautical Bean.
Head on over to the site, check it out, and then go get some coffee. The Nautical Bean has great hours, great coffee, and some great food.
Just letting everyone know, Seth and I have been listening to a lot of Bob Dylan lately. We also checked out the latest Weezer album, and Collectively, we weren't impressed. So with that, hopefully I'll be back here blogging about something amazing tomorrow.
Mac and Cheese. Hold the Cheese.
The office is a little colder when Jeremy is away, but he is staying quite busy down south. This week has been going pretty smoothly. I think my brain is starting to connect the dots on some of the things I've been learning. The new key is doing my tasks in a reasonable amount of time. During our lunch break today we went to our friends Kim and Jeff's house. "Chef Newsom" made us a delicious vegan mac and cheese (it had no cheese!), and it was amazing! So, on to business. Today I'm going to tell you a little bit about the site that we did for Sevnone. Sevnone is a camp, a movement, a place where purpose is found, uniqueness is celebrated, and the passion for life explodes. We finished up their site a few months ago, and really had a great time working on it. All the guys their are super sweet.
Remember that all proceeds from their merchandise helps send kids to Sevnone camps.
You can learn everything you want to know about Sevnone at their website. Check it out. We at the 805 Collective hope that the rest of your thursday is safe and that you listen to some good tunes.
Alright. Here's the deal.
As I'm sure you all know, the last year has seen no real updates on our blog. So there are so many projects that we've finished and want to share with you. It's my personal goal to update the blog 5 times a week to catch everybody up on the life of 805Collective. So, let's start with a web page that was finished around a year ago. Bryan McLain's videographer site.
Bryan's website has full screen video backgrounds that resize depending on the size of your browser. This idea really translated well with Bryan's unique way of capturing special moments.
This should be the beginning of updates galore so check back often.
