It’s no secret that mobile browsing and smartphone platforms like the iPhone and Google’s Nexus One are having a significant impact on how we access the internet. As new browser technologies and platforms pop up frequently, we as strategists and developers are constantly challenged to adopt new approaches and development practices. Of course, as these new technologies become available, we also field all sorts of questions about interfacing with them. While we are always enthusiastic about developing new and exciting products for our clients, if your traffic indicates that your audience won’t care… then why waste the money?… Read More
So I kind of stole that title from the Sports Illustrated article I just read about small market teams getting ready to make good on their promise to “wait ‘til next year”. What can I say… it’s been a busy week… and if you’re reading this, that means I most likely know you… and you know better ways to spend your time than to sue my overly inflated ass.
Speaking of which, I’ve been thinking about working out a little more. The family and I are heading to Clearwater in March to watch the Fightins get ready for the 2010 campaign, and I’m just not going to look so great in my thong bikini unless I get crackin’ on those crunches. But that’s the thing about Spring… anything is possible.
To many… and myself… the start of Spring Training always symbolizes the hope for better things around the corner. My mind swings to thoughts of two 30 game winners… maybe a home run record broken… and an unbelievable Phillies season that will certainly end with 130 victories. My heart is bursting with anticipation.
Okay… so none of that will probably happen. But as I look at the grey slushy mess through the gaze of a Fishtown apartment, I can hope. I wonder if, when the clouds part and the snow melts, will Carlos Ruiz hit 30 homers? Will Cole Hamels and Brad Lidge get back to their 2008 forms? Will Roy Halladay live up to the hype and carry the city and the Phils’ pitching staff on his shoulders? Will my son eat his first hot dog? Will I give it back to him within five seconds of it hitting the ground? I can only hope… and it seems like a good time of year to do that.

Icon set I designed for St. Peter’s Church here in Philly. I used icons from my Droid for reference… then worked the corners, cross and texture for effect.
