I’ve been super busy lately, trying to enjoy the beautiful spring weather mountain biking with my bike club. working on a number of projects including: a new access & authentication system in PHP for Bizware’s Webteam tools, a file management intranet type system for Evco Plastics, the B2C front end to the new Rezzline hotel reservation system, and as soon as I get a minute to breath (next week?), I’ll start on a CMS back end for ZD’s next water park project. Oh yeah, I’m also going to continue the remodel of my house & help to get a mountain bike park started in Portland.

Chris and Greg say:

  1. http://Grabb.it, the first music player that’s native to the web. Grabb.it plays songs, just like iTunes, except instead of local songs ripped from CDs and downloaded as mp3s, Grabb.it plays online songs from all over the web. And instead of just sitting there like a music player on your local computer, Grabb.it connects you into the always-on global musical conversation.
  2. A semi-secret Amazon-based startup for a client.
  3. An online chocolate store for local favorite Pix Patisserie.
  4. A new website for PDX Pop Now!, an annual free all-ages festival of Portland music.

Rooftop movie series: Rad

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

Join us Thursday, April 27th, for the first of what we hope to be a summer-long series of movies on the roof of our building. We’ll be showing the 1986 mega hit, Rad.

A hometown kid on his BMX against the best in the world. At Helltrack… the heat is on. The story of one young man, Cru Jones, who has the intensity and desire to win a BMX race called Helltrack.

Meet in front of the building at 9:30pm. The movie starts at 10pm and we’re not climbing down to let in late comers. Bring blankets, pillows, beers, and popcorn. To get on the roof, there’s a short ladder climb, so keep that in mind when deciding what to bring.
