Our favorite whirlwind of creative expression, Chris Tarry, has gone and done it again.That's right, another website update.
You'll notice the christarry.com Home page now defaults to News and he's added a blog to keep the fans current with whatever spills out onto the page. The blog is a WordPress deal we installed on his server and he's basically doing the rest. You can get to it from his site via the blog call-out at the top of the page, or you can hit it directly:
Chris Tarry's Blog of Wondrous Nothings
I imagine Chris is the kind of guy who wakes suddenly in the middle of the night and fumbles about in the dark as he searches for a pad and pen to jot down his latest bit of inspiration.
Before I was a business owner (and married, and a dad...), I spent a considerable chunk of my life writing like a madman so I know the territory.
It's good to be mad.

The news came in a flurry of emails late last week.
The New York Times calls it "the internet's highest honor."
Our favorite interactive Mountain Gorilla website, Miza.com, has been recognized with the prestigious honor of a Webby award in the Youth category of the competition.
ESI takes the prize but we're planning to share it – six months at their house and six months at ours.

We're pleased to announce the release of "I Spot Something Hot," an educational DVD for kids, we produced for our friends at the Weekly Reader division of Reader's Digest as part of a Home Safety Council (HSC) initiative.
We were fortunate to be matched with some really good talent on this project including a fantastic illustrator, Kenny Kiernan, and the special vocal and musical talents of Fred Newman, sound effects star of the popular radio show, “A Prairie Home Companion.”
We took on most of the DVD production, including lots and lots of animation, picture and sound editing, DVD programming and authoring, and even the Spanish voiceover casting and sessions for a Spanish language option.
What makes this especially impressive is, I don't understand Spanish - or at least, I didn't.I know a little now and I can tell you this DVD is mucho caliente.
