It appears we really don’t need our desktops, but most of us with laptops knew that already. My wife and I are currently getting caught up on “LOST” by watching back episodes from our wi-fi at home while snuggling in bed… turns out we will be able to do this and many more things in the future from just about any where.

what is your company or organization doing to get ahead of the curve on developing web technology?

The links below provide an excellent example of creative, viral marketing at work in politics (disclaimer = we don’t know that candidate or his views; we are not
endorsing him just the methodology).

After you check out the links below, do some brainstorming with your business or organization:

•  What is a simple, interactive tool that you could add to your current website that others can use to communicate about you?
• How creative are you being in delivering your message or product?
•  What is the quick & easy way for newbies to get engaged with what you have to offer?

I know I have rambled on about Internet Explorer 6 still being used by some 20% of the population, even though it was replaced 2 years ago by IE 7. So I wont spiral into that post again.

I do have to share this. In a post by CSS tinderbox. Raymond shares his analogy for IE 6.

So true.

Seriously. this needs to be in my office.

Once again, this year we will be participating in Blog Action day.

Blog Action Day is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters and videocasters, to post about the same issue on the same day. Our aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion.

I am not yet sure what specifically I will be blogging about, but trust me, my head is pretty full of thoughts, revelations, discussions, ideas, and other concerns surrounding this years topic of poverty.

So in our past a few weeks ago asking Who Reads this, some of you were interested more about personal things. So In an effort to share more about factor 1 staff, here it goes.

• My name is matt, but most of you know that.
• I am 26 (as of august 3rd)
• I started factor 1 in college, but it became full time in 2004
• I have been married for 6 years to my amazing wife Stephanie
• 4 furry kids (2 cats, 2 dogs)
• We do have real kids on the way, but in a non-traditional sense (We are adopting 2 children some time in the next 6 months we hope)
• The factor 1 office is like 2 miles from my house, which is awesome for commuting
• I ride my bike waaaaaaay to much. I love mountain biking, I ride almost every weekend with good friends
• I ride my bike about 50 miles a month to work and back
• I keep said bike in my office, as it is too pretty to leave outside
• I enjoy being home at night and on the weekend.
• I played ice hockey in junior high and high school
• To contrast the ice hockey, my wife and I have completed Bronze level ballroom dancing
• I really stink at sports with balls, I dont even really like watching any of them
• I dont network in person as much as I should, but i have 12,000 myspace friends (kidding)
• I am a total mac geek. but I dont yet own an iphone.
• I am a total design geek, and love great websites, fonts, books, and art
• you can connect with me on linked in here
• I have a myspace page for some reason (because all the cool kids do I guess)

So thats me. Who’s next? I say I put out a challenge for my readers to share some more info about yourself, and link it in a comment. I want to know more random facts about you too.

Maybe I can con some other factor 1 staff to sharing their random details (wink* wink* Ryan and Shannon).

Yeah, yeah it seems all I talk about on this blog is goofy stuff I find online and new site launches. But don’t feel left out, its all I talk about in person too. Maybe next week I’ll tell you all about some more personal things in our lives.

Right People USA, a beautiful site. Shannon and I worked, re-worked, and re-re-worked this site design. It was tough to come up with that perfect, easy on the eye, smooth, and clear design.

RightpeopleUSA.com

I think we ended up with a well refined site. So did the staff at Right People.

Our website launch was perfect. Factor 1 exceeded our expectations in design and delivery. We had many last minute updates to ensure a successful launch prior to a conference, and Factor 1 was able to meet all our needs. Thank you for your quick response and excellent work. The navigation is simple for the client, and we know this will help us with our web presence. Thank you for your dedication and customer service.
