May 2008

All those folks starting to use our system.  We understand that our help section needs to grow and we are working on it.  A series of video help files are under development.  But please contact us if you need any help during our initial launch phase.  We want you to have fun with our web application.

Last night, we finished everything we needed to for the series of demos Les is doing this week (and the one I'm giving this Thursday eve too!), and what a great feeling it was to have made that milestone.  Looking over the time line from this week, it's really hitting home that we're almost there:

• Wednesday: Finalized the design of our business cards and postcard handouts for the upcoming presentations.  Sent those off to the printers.
  
• Thursday: Got a fully running site up at long last (closed invite for a few weeks, sorry folks!).
• Friday: Got the business cards back and man are they slick!  Celebrated with a nice bottle of wine and even handed a few cards out later that evening :)
  
• Saturday: Lots of minor tweaking in preparation for the upcoming presentations.
• Sunday: Les's intro video is now up on the site, and it's unbelievably awesome!
  

Looking forward, this week alone Dojo will be seen by hundreds of people over the course of our presentations, I'll also be ironing out a few little issues with the live site and putting some thought into a few of our new feature ideas as well.  We're also starting to formalize our launch marketing strategy now as well, which will be really fun.  I can't wait to see what the general public reaction is.  If it's anything close to what the reaction has been so far, it should be pretty positive.

To pay homage to our logo we have provided two links to creating your own paper fortune teller.  We want to take you back to a simpler time when we played more than we worked and getting muddy was the norm.  So here goes:
