Why Dads are Great

by Jason 05.31.2007 Dream Big

This from an e-mail I got yesterday from my Dad, regarding the new office:

Now I know that not everyone is blessed to have such supportive parents [...]

The Ultimate Cartooning Experience

by Jason 05.30.2007 Kim & Jason News

What with the previous announcement, I can finally officially annouce the details of the much anticipated cartooning workshops. We’ve done them two years in a row, and we’ve had a TON of inquiries about whether we’re doing them again this year. The answer to that is yes and no. We’re not doing that same thing [...]

In the life of this little company, today was a pretty momentous day.

by Jason 05.29.2007 Be Honest

Change is freaking scary, no doubt about it.
But you know what else is? Realizing that your time is almost up and thinking back on all the things you wish you would’ve done but didn’t. (Because it would’ve required a big, freaking, scary change.)

by Kim 05.27.2007 Kim's Random Musings

Jason and I enjoyed watching the first season of NBC’s Heroes. It’s a drama about everyday people, young and old, living with superpowers. One flies, another can manipulate the time/space continuum, and yet another can paint the future. It was a fun journey seeing them work together to try to "save the world."
As Jason [...]

Smells from Childhood

by Jason 05.23.2007 Chalkboard

They say that smell is the most powerful of the senses when it comes to conjuring up long lost childhood memories. If you remember the smell of Grandma’s house or that sawdust the school janitor used to cover up Jimmy’s throw up, you know what were talking about.
What aroma, smell, scent or stench most reminds [...]

Endlessly Curious

by Jason 05.23.2007 Delight in the Little Things

Yesterday I had a chance to meet up with one of my business heroes, Seth Godin. He was in Chicago for a book tour, and gave a presentation on his latest in a line of bestsellers, The Dip.
Ever since reading Unleashing the Ideavirus, I have been a big fan of Seth’s blog and books. Yesterday, [...]

The Best Seven Years Ever

by Jason 05.21.2007 Delight in the Little Things

Yesterday, Kim and I celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary. As some may know, we have taken up the tradition of doing something childlike to commemorate each anniversary. I’m happy to say that the tradition is still going strong.
On Saturday night, Kim took it upon herself to surprise me with the events of the evening. First, [...]
