Crouch Fine Arts – New Site

I recently completed a new site for Ann Crouch of Crouch Fine Arts. The site is a minimalist design that reflects Ann’s wish is to let the art speak for itself. I have broken with my love for descriptive text to drive search traffic. The site is a landing page for traffic generated from magazine advertising running in Southwest Art and other publications.

Ann paints to music, thoughts and memories. The paintings are a movement of color in oil or acrylics, painted to her thoughts at the time and the music filling the quiet of the night at her easel. It is an uninterrupted time when her thoughts are not disturbed. It is a beautiful experience for her and she hopes you will find joy and pleasure in her abstracts also.

Ann does not name her abstracts. They are numbered. She does not want to influence your thoughts of what they are, what they mean, their color, movement or even orientation. She want them to be felt personally by the viewer.

I also produced a short video highlighting Ann’s work. Check it out, I think you will enjoy it!

Kenny vs. the MAC

I can’t stands it no mo! My lowly Dell Inspiron is dying a slow painful death! It was an inexpensive computer I only paid about $900.00 for it. I have had it for just over a year. I have been using Microsoft products almost exclusively for over 25 years. The news is I am replacing it with a MAC PowerBook Pro.

Last week I bought an iPhone. For the past two years I have been using a Palm Treo 750. I purchased it just before Search Engine Strategies San Jose 2007. My phone had died and I had to replace it now. At the conference Marisa Myer of Google while delivering her keynote address demonstrated her iPhone prototype and I felt sick! I knew that I had missed out but the Palm 750 at the time was an expensive state of the art phone and I am cheap. So last week when the iPhone 3 GS came out I was in line at AT&T at 7:00 am to get my new, state of the art, 32 GB iPhone 3 GS and found eternal bliss. Until I started to sink my music collection. It took forever because my laptop kept crashing. No fault of iTunes.

The problem was not with the iPhone it was with my flaming piece of S**t laptop! For a few weeks now my computer has been doing strange things. The cursor has been tripping and when I play anything Flash my computer craps out. No blue screen of death. No recovery information at all except a cryptic message referring to the Dell wireless drive which turned out to be BS. If this was a customer computer I would have backed it up zapped it and gone on with my life. But no! This is my computer and I am going to figure it out. After probably 20 hours of virus scans, hardware scans, software reinstalls etc. I found that it crashed slower at low temperatures. So its hardware! Fan is working computer just dying!

So the other night I was working along and WHAM! Dies at a most inopportune time and the second the computer came back up I did a rash thing! I went to Apple.com and bought a 15” PowerBook Pro.

This is the first MAC I have owned since the 80s. I don’t know how this is going to work out but I have had it with cheap computers and most things Microsoft.

In the last year I have moved almost all of my internet work off of Windows platforms. I have one server with a couple of sites that are not producing and complicated to move and that is it! In the last year, I have moved all ecommerce to Magento Commerce on Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, (LAMP) servers hosted at Simple Helix. I am now using WordPress for all of our professionally managed blogs.

On the Mobile and Server fronts I have pretty much moved completely away from Microsoft products. I have only installed two Windows Servers this year and we are looking into replacing future server hardware with cloud computing. We stopped selling Microsoft Exchange Server the day Google Apps for Domains came out. We have now run our biggest customers email systems on Google Apps for over a year and they are thrilled with not only the cost but the features and performance.

So the last step is the Desktop!

Stay tuned to see if:

· Kenny kills himself publicly!

· Kenny totally sells out to the Devils operating systems OSX.

· Kenny spends himself into oblivion making it all work!

By Keran Krane

Google Reaches Out to Small Business In this ever changing hi-tech world many small businesses get left in the dust. But Google has built much of their success on reaching out to the little guy.
