		<title>When&#8217;s the best time to start?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8220;Is it okay to launch a site on a Monday?  What if something bad happens?&#8221;
&#8220;How long does it take to learn how to do &#8216;this web stuff&#8217;?&#8221;
 
&#8220;I&#8217;m not really a computer person, but I gotta start learning these things.&#8221;
I get these questions a lot when I start working with any new client or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Professional Skills Evolution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a lot of talk about the evolution of technical professional skills, so I put together a little chart to show how things kinda evolved.  I tell people all the time that knowing MS Office isn&#8217;t enough anymore.  In the early 90&#8217;s, proficiency in Word or the ability to make a kickass pivot table in [...]]]></description>

		<title>When a site takes on a life of its own</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I had the pleasure of interviewing iPhone Developer and author, Dave Mark, a few days ago and one of the interesting things that came up was the website he put together to support the readers of his book.  What started out as a way for him to field a few questions here and there turned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skill Shift 2010 :: Introduction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In a lot of companies a line exists between what the tech guys do and what the marketers, publicists, and managers do with their computers.  Same computers.  Same horse power.  Same permissions.  But when it comes to updating a website, creating online content, changing images, creating a video, producing a podcast, or launching a website, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will Books Become Apps?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I don&#8217;t know.  Nobody really does.  But what we all know is that the way we get books, how we read them, and the depth we&#8217;re involved with them is changing and nobody&#8217;s going to stop it (no matter how bad some folks want to).  Currently the digital delivery and consumption of text is taking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Speculation on the Apple Tablet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a ton of speculation on what the Apple tablet will be.  A Kindle Killer?  A new hope to the magazine industry?  The end of netbooks?  The end of laptops?
Apple does have a tendency to not only redefine things, but also create brand new categories.  Who knew we needed an app store with over 100,000 [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Web Development Shift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Companies used to take months (sometimes years) to discuss, spec, design, build, test, and launch a website. Often, piles of money backed up these future failures, as they were often done by committee and thought of as critical to the success of a department or organization.  Then, after months and months of toiling with ridiculous [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s a fan worth?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw this come across my Twitter feed tonight from tech journalist/commentator/podcast mogul Leo Laporte:
Sony and ad.ly offered me $2000 for one ad tweet last week. I didn&#8217;t do it &#8211; but what do you think? Should I have taken the money?
The old way of thinking is to grab the money.  You&#8217;ve built the audience and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our First iPhone App</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thicksole released it&#8217;s first iPhone app last month.  Not only is it a new platform for us, but it was very exciting to work with a client that moved fast and understood the importance of &#8220;shipping&#8221;.  It&#8217;s an app that is meant to support their market-leading textbook, BOONE &#38; KURTZ CONTEMPORARY BUSINESS.  Simulating a deck [...]]]></description>
