Seminar: May 6th, 2009 at Port 80

I’ll be holding a seminar on May 6th at the monthly meeting of the Western Australian chapter of the Australian Web Industry Association (Port 80). It’ll be about using web video in your marketing mix and it promises to be lots of fun. So if you’re in Perth then drop into The Velvet Lounge (next to The Flying Scotsman) Cnr. Grosvenor & Beaufort Street Mount Lawley by 6pm. I hope to see you there.

A Coat of Paint

Sprucing the place up a bit

We’ve done a bit of cleaning, added a coat of paint and generally spruced up the whole place. It’s still a work in progress (like most web sites) and we expect that it will take us a few more days to sort out the niggles but drop us a note and tell us what you think of the new look.
