Don't Fake It
Last night I got home from work late, so I watched some of The Colbert Report before bed. The guest was former U.S. governor and presidential wannabe Mike Huckabee, and it seems he’s a bit into “authenticity” (note the irony of putting this word in quotations). He rambled on about how Americans want “authenticity”, they [...]
The Long Road to a New Space
Another week has gone by and our office is still a mess. It is nobody’s fault. Our renovation dudes all have full time jobs, some have young kids, and Jester Creative has meetings to attend, phone calls to make, project deadlines to meet, designs to create, and proposals to write. It’s not as if we [...]
Why we are Jesters

The First Day of the Rest of My Life
Today is our first official, full time day in business, as Jester Creative. Okay, so our web site is still under construction, our office is a shambles, but we have projects, more projects than we know what to do with, and somehow we need to balance making progress on the projects with renovations, a new [...]
Outshout the Voices
I’m in the process of taking some pretty big risks right now. Jumping out of the corporate rat race to become a self-employed media diva comes with it its fair share of risks. Setting up a new office, getting our first big contracts going, and drumming up new business; all of it has risk attached. [...]
