I know it’s been 23 days since we last posted and it seemed like things were like a ghost town over here, but we have a good excuse… well several actually.
We’ll give more details as soon as we can but with expanding our staff, taking on huge projects in each of our service areas, getting published and ramping up our equipment it’s been a crazy 1st quarter.

And there are big plans for the next few months as well: Conferences, more portfolio reviews, more internal changes… sleep deprivation.

Sorry for the absence but we’ll have updates soon.. we promise.

It would be remiss for us to not mention the return of the event that brought about the Paragon Muse 1 year ago. That’s right, BlogSavannah’s UnConference 2008 is just around the corner. It was at last year’s event that the 3 of us discovered the wonderous blogosphere and inspired us to jump in head first.

This year’s schedule looks to be just as informative.

How busy do you have to be to have another blog post about your own project before you do? Thankfully, pretty darn busy.
But it was a great opportunity to offer our services to The Creative Coast Initiative by designing their blog’s new theme.

This is just a quick shout-out to my good friend Craig who has just embarked on a 90 day journey around the world (well mostly Asia anyway) and decided to blog (myninetydays.com) about it. We’ve been friends for quite a number of years…he’s a fellow West Indian, who has roots in Barbados, Grenada, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines like me.

(For those of you who don’t know…”West Indies” is the geographical term for the Caribbean islands, and originated from Christopher Columbus’ “discovery” of what he thought was Asia, or the East Indies. When at cocktail parties, you can impress people from this region by referring to them as “West Indians” rather than “Caribbeans” or any of the other weird terms I’ve heard since living in the US.

I’ve had several opportunities to be “the new guy” throughout my life. Whether it’s being the new guy at school, the new guy on the job or the new guy in the country. Being a recent addition to any population allows you to observe certain things that those already involved might take for granted. So being a blogger infant has given me the opportunity to see certain patterns within the blogosphere, as it’s called, and they bear a striking resemblance to those I see in the offline world.

One of the most integral stages of any design process is research. Which is why, even though I consider myself to be relatively tech-savvy, the decision to attend the Blog Savannah Un-con this past weekend before launching our own blog was a wise one. I thought I knew what blogging was, and through the discussions (and disagreements) of those 1.5 days, I realized just how much my conclusions were based on impressions rather than fact.
