A Sutter Classic - Buzz’s New Monitor

This video is an oldie, but a goody.

Note: It was a big deal to get a 21" CRT monitor back in 2001

Timing was everything with this prank. Buzz was needed for a meeting just after his new monitor arrived, allowing Jim Quindlen and myself time to switch out his 21" monitor for an old 15" monochrome monitor we had in the back. And to make the box seem heavy enough, we threw in an old "kitchen sink" we had stored in the warehouse. We taped up the box, slid it back next to his desk, and awaited his return. I had to leave the office, but Jim alertly got the video camera in place to perfectly catch Buzz's reaction to what he saw in the box. Good thing I was not there, as I would not have been able to keep a straight face. In fact, I still cannot when watching this video.

MEC² Website Launch

Mechanical Engineering and Construction Corporation (MEC²) went live today. The site is a replacement to a splash page we developed some time ago, and is a shining light on the work that MEC² performs. This relatively compact site is built on our custom CMS system v.2. Please visit www.m-corp.us and take a look around.

Merkle - Floating Wall Display

Recently I got to spend a day at Merkle’s new location in Columbia MD, helping to install the wall display above. The new building is beautiful and this display spans over 38 feet, and is the first thing you see upon entering the building. This is a floating wall system, with clear plexi panels, suspended from thin cables and attached with brushed aluminum connectors. Each panel represents Merkle’s current client list, and their respective logos, digitally printed on vinyl stock and cut out to shape. The install took about 8 hours, and the fun part was that everyone who works in the building had to pass by, so we got to hear lots of compliments as we progressed. And as if on cue, the president came by to see just as we finished, and he loved it!
