Frye / Wiles Blog Archive for the ‘Office Nonsense’ Category
My laptop died last night. It was an undignified death, with the loud internal fan wheezing and gasping for air as I attempting to type out a simple email. The situation was this: mid-word, my computer failed to complete what I was inputting into its innards and like usual, I waited for the silver brick to just catch up to where I left off. It’s not that I’m a fast typist as much as my Dell Inspiron 6000 has a chronic case of Alzheimer’s. Last night it forgot to work; it forgot that it had a hard drive.

Our friends at Instant Riverside sent us a holiday card that apparently Kermit the Claus bogarted. We thought it was funny. That frog’s one elusive and grabby little amphibian…
Dear Frye / Wiles Clients and Associates:
First of all, thanks again for all your business this last year, and happy holidays to all! It’s been another good year for us, and we’re looking forward to working with you on lots of exciting projects in 2009.
We wanted to let you know that Frye / Wiles will be on a skeleton crew from Dec 25 to Jan 5 so that our staff can get some much-needed rest and time with their families, so if you have a slight delay in contact us, please bear with us. All email and phone messages will be checked, but the response time may be a little less than instant.
Thanks, and have a wonderful holiday season!
Like most design firms, we here at F/W love cupcakes. So when Relish, the fabulous new Jewish deli down the street from us, decided to make up some crazy gothic black cupcakes for Halloween, we had no choice but to scoop up a few of them.
Unfortunately, we didn’t fully think through the ramifications of black frosting.
So here, for your viewing pleasure, is Frye / Wiles on a friday afternoon with black cupcakes:
Could it be that we, as rabid American consumers, are becoming too reliant on bandwidth much in the same way we’ve got ourselves in the little pickle that is oil dependency? Are we becoming a nation that is addicted to bandwidth? According to this article, the answer is yes.

The other day I was berating my 4-year-old iPod for once again dying on me before heading out to the office. Now, the iPod was almost fully charged and has been treated very well thus far in its lifespan. Technically speaking, it should work just fine.

This week I really don’t have much in terms of web inspiration and I think it’s because the 4th of July is tomorrow. Backyard barbecues, hanging out with friends and family, drunken debauchery, fireworks exploding in your face, 100 degree weather, eating because you just don’t care anymore; that’s what I’m talking about. This is the time of year for fun in the hot hot sun ( that little part was supposed to be sung to the tune of “Every Time I look Around” by OMC.) I still don’t what’s in his face but oh well.
Enjoy your 4th!
For those of you who have seen me in person… I am a very pale individual. For this reason I always remember to wear sunscreen. What I don’t always remember is to make sure my sunscreen is effective. (more…)
AT&T has pulled back the pricing curtain on the various prices and monthly plans for the new Apple iPhone 3G. The good news is that the new iPhone is quite a bit better than the original model released just a year ago. The bad news is, the thing is still going to hit you right in your economically depressed wallet.
