First, there was yesterday’s piece in the StarTribune by Dick Youngblood. In the article Youngblood wrote about our growth, our work with ad agencies, how we focus on nerdery and not design, and, of course, our awesome sense of humor. He particularly liked our whiteboard walls:
The rest is a mélange of wit and whimsy, some of it delightfully sophomoric. There’s the “food pyramid,” for example, which includes cake, nachos, beer, coffee and, for unknown reasons, ramen noodles. Then there’s the note posted alongside an electric plug-in: “Insert fork here.”
And my favorite: “7 days since the last workplace injury.” Aside from a broken fingernail from typing too hard, no one can recall any injuries.
Today, if you head over to Twin Cities Business you’ll see Senior Editer Gene Rebeck has a piece, ” . . . praising the hardy men and women behind the scenes who wield the digital hammers and tape measures, working tirelessly to make our leisurely surfing a more satisfactory experience.”
Basically, it’s about The Nerdery & Ratchet (a firm similar to ours) and how we’re helping agencies make websites that look like they belong on the web and not an electronic brochure.. Head on over there and check it out.
