Our latest Web site debuted recently: New York Computer Forensic Services. We’ll have more on this later. This week, Kelley is recuperating from an injury to her right arm, so she’s avoiding graphics work as much as possible.

The Written Word - aka Transcription Work

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

A client presented us with an unusual request last week: a number of .MP3 files (constituting just shy of 3 hours of audio) that they needed transcribed. To complicate matters, some of the recordings were of marginal quality and the topics frequently ranged into very technical matters. Further complicating things, it was Friday and they […]

The Business of Buying and Selling Houses

Friday, May 12th, 2006

The on-site realtor work came through, so far there are two branches of a national chain that we contract with - one in Tampa and the other in Saint Petersburg. Between them, they have interests in all of Hillsborough, all of Pinellas and a good part of Pasco counties. The work is fun but the […]

Paying the Piper: the annual debt management exercise

Monday, April 17th, 2006

Today is the day. This year, all IRS tax forms and payments (where applicable) must be postmarked by the 17th. Why is it the 17th instead of the 15th? Because the 15th fell on a Saturday so it rolls over to the next business day. In some parts of the country (the New England region […]

Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

We’ve been doing some on-site work for a few realtors in the area. Buying and selling real estate as a line of work did not have much interest before but even we recognize that if you know what you are doing, and you are lucky, you can increase your net worth more quickly in real […]

If there is anything about the freelance trade that is universally true, it probably involves pressure and time in some way.

Should America have a national tree?

Sunday, November 13th, 2005

Otok Ben-Hvar thinks so. Formerly known as Ben Garcia, Ben is one of those wonderful people who gives of himself freely. For several years he traveled to Red Square in Moscow so he could play Santa Clause on Christmas Eve. He’s ridden a riding lawnmower across the United States. There is more. The Saint Petersburg […]

Selling sales letters by the seashore

Friday, October 14th, 2005

If you study public relations and marketing, you’ll quickly learn that a lot of people recommend the use of direct sales letters. Direct sales letters have a distinctive look and feel — and for good reason. They work. Years of research has show that sales letters, absolutely chock full of information, highlighting, underlines, strategically bolded […]

Two steps forward, three steps back

Wednesday, October 5th, 2005

We worked on these a few weeks ago, but only now had time to get some thumbnails up. These are the concept roughs we created for a book about how to combine traditional and alternative health care approaches. The authors had a plethora of ideas with which to work and a large audience of supporters […]

Something old, something new

Friday, September 30th, 2005

The Culture Lab Collective has resurrected their resource site, renaming it Culture Lab. The site got a juicy new update in the bargain: a light, retro look with a little techno/lab/science edge to it.
While we were in the concept rough stage, we kept calling it “Frosty Goodness.” It reminds you of a summertime ice cream […]
