Filed under: 88 QUEEN ST, tit_bit, portfolio worth!, web work, collaboration, VANDA — bling @ 3:40 pm

We are very pleased to announce that the new website for local eco fashion label 88 Queen St is UP and RUNNING!
A lot of work, from photo shoots to web design & programming (thanks Omar and Sofia!)… but its always a pleasure to work with the talented Genny!
Take a minute to have a look at the site, and do a little shoping. You’d be supporting a local label, you’ll be supporting an effort in sustainability, and…  looking good! so, why not?

let us know what you think of the site!

Filed under: tit_bit, web work, performance/events, collaboration, VANDA — bling @ 12:40 pm

This, is a special post. Its about a special person, a dear friend, who has gone through an unbelievably arduous and trying journey: fighting cancer.

Now cancer free, and going through radiation treatment, my friend LISA POLITO, is organizing a fund-raiser for the Lymphoma Foundation.

“I try to be a resource of information. I write about my feelings and my thoughts in hopes that, I too, will get something from my own writings after reading it, over and over. ”

source 

I’ve had the opportunity to work with her, and to contribute a little to her cause. She has started a blog, where she is generously sharing insights of her experience. She now has a site, where you can read info on her fund-raising plans. Please, take a minute to read up on all this, and pencil in this next event in your calendars:

TAVOLA GRANDE, a fund-raising lunchon,
on sunday may 25th, 12:00

at the Centre des Congrès Renaissance

If you, someone you know, your employer, anyone, would be interested in donating, please refer them to the site where they can get more information and find out how to contact the Wigged Out team, for a sponsor package.

BLOG COMMENTING ~ COMMENTAGE DE BLOG November 21, 2007

Filed under: projects, web work — bling @ 3:58 pm

Dearest friends, clients, and peers,
this is an exercise in BLOG COMMENTING. More specifically: commenting on THIS blog.
We have noticed over the past few posts, how our readers are much more inclined to comment about our parties and other none “work” related events, than our actual work. (which we do appreciate and encourage!) Though we get many positive and heart warming verbal props about our work, we’d love it if you would help us increase the text-based activity on our blog.
(If we can get 50 comments (good or bad) about our work, then the first 24Karrots child will be named after the 50th commentator, no obvious cheating allowed… ok some cheating allowed.)
So here is how this is gonna work: you may pick from one of the following examples, or put together your own. Click on “comment” under the post, and … comment.

  • ” Wow, this project is really _________”
  • ” This reminds me of ______. no wait, this does not remind of ______, it reminds of ______ !”
  • ” Is this a joke? Because it is ______ !”
  • ” How much for a _______ ?”
  • ” You guys are _________. You should check out _________”
  • ” Great blog! You should check us out at __________ and maybe write about us!”
  • ” Tabarnak, c’est tout en anglais asti!”
  • ” Are you the same people who’ve done the __________ project? Because, if you are, you are a bunch of ____________!”

THANKS GUYS! MERCI MAN! vanda & robby
