Mustache Trend Report

Nov 22, ’08 6:03 PM

Fantachetic
I posted the Canadian Club stir-sticks on NOTCOT on Friday (thought more people would like it, given that I’ve been seeing them everywhere lately), and thanks to my cheap web hosting company, iPower, my site’s been, well, loading like it’s being transferred at speeds measured in baud. Note to self: Do NOT use iPower. They are terrible. Be a big boy and step up to big boy hosting.

Anyhow, mustaches seem to be super duper hot right now. Hot like Hansel.

Salvador Vase
You can get them on vases at the W hotel.

Stache Hankies
You can clean your face with them with hankies available on Etsy.

Felt Staches
You can have them on high-end bags and wallets.

Glass-Staches
You can have them on your drink.

Wedding Staches
You can take pictures with them at your wedding.

Key Staches
They can keep your keys together.

Why all the mustache interest? Along with KP & E, I’m helping some members of Fall Out Boy, Yellowcard, and the fine folks at thirtysevenclick and Treeline Interactive launch a new short film called Moustachette. You can find more at their Facebook page. More to come on this.

Things that make me smile

Nov 16, ’08 8:03 PM

Hustlewood makes me smile
Launching my own site makes me smile.

So a few weeks ago, my buddies and I launched our “real” site for our semi-real side project, Hustlewood. A couple years ago, we were sitting around, two of us boozing (one is allergic) and all talking about how to build a web community around cycling. That didn’t pan out, but in the meantime, we decided to do what we do best: create things that sell stuff, and get paid for it. So we started this little thing called Hustlewood, and just like the cobbler’s children, we were walking around without digital boots.

Check it out at hustlewood.com. I wrote the copy, Kevin did the pretty parts, and Eric made it awesome.

NOTCOT makes me smile.
It was on NOTCOT, too, which makes us feel pretty damn cool. Which, as you might have guessed, makes me smile.

The Beer Bistro – Done

Oct 6, ’08 10:56 AM

Beer Bistro Home

Top’o'the mid-morning to y’all. Early Friday AM, my buddies and I launched a site for our favorite bar in the West Loop, The Beer Bistro. The Beer Bistro is one of the mainstays of Madison Street (just on the other, more chill side of the expressway) and offers an incredible selection of beers, most of which we’ve sampled. So about a year ago, we badgered the owner, Bob, into letting us re-do his site (which you can see here) and he finally obliged.

The home page, above, features a compressed view of the bar, as photographed by Mr. Panke. My roomie got it all working in Flash and whipped together some sweet, largely table-less markup, I wrote some copy and made some final dev tweaks, and now we’re live.

Here\'s the about page

About Page… nothing super special here except for the cool gMap wrapper.

And a page for galleries

Galleries page, powered by Flickr of course.

And a page for their sweet gear.

And a page for their sweet gear, enabled by everyone’s favorite, Flash.

Hope you like. We’ll be rolling out some improvements over the coming weeks/months.
