Crossing the Rubicon!
Lennie Appelquist 1st Assistant Director


Rubicon Results

My friend Pat Finn is holding a live Seminar on Tuesday August 21st starting at 7:00pm.

Pat is a great team building teacher. For this reason he started the Rubicon Results Institue. Now the word "Rubicon" is one we hear but the definition is super cool: "A line when crossed permits no return and results in irrevocable commitment." Sounds like my experience every day on set.

The Zimmers

People try to put us down. . . .

Haven't heard of the Zimmers? You're not alone. The Zimmers is a band in the UK who had the bright idea of taking a group of the elderly folk and have them help out with a cover of the Who's classic "My Generation". The results; nothing short of magical!

If you've heard of them or seen this video, it's worth another look.

What the other web designers don't want you to know

I believe in "Web Design on Purpose". What I mean by that is that when we design, we have a purpose. Our purpose is to empower our clients to maximize they’re web presence and PROFITS!

The old school methodology was to build a static site with the usual home page, about us, contact, links, gallery. . . blah, blah, blah.

The problem with this old philosophy is that once these sites are built, nothing else happens. No marketing, no updates, no good.
