Who says websites can't use stick figures in a design?

I like this funny take on the whole subprime mortage business. Enjoy!

New logo for Customer Paradigm
It's official... we've designed a new logo for the company. As we expand our ability to serve customers into the print design, trade show marketing and direct marketing arena, we're coming up with a new look for the company's website and a new logo. The three concentric circles represent the customer, the end user, and Customer Paradigm. We try to focus on the area where these three circles intersect... and try to add value in the process. Let us know what you think! -- Jeff

Eddie Dombrower Speaking in Boulder, Sponsored by Customer Paradigm
We're happy to sponsor this upcoming event in Boulder: Eddie Dombrower is a video game designer, programmer and producer who has created products for Atari, Mattel, Electronic Arts, Activision and Children's Television Workshop. A one-time ballet dancer, he designed the first dance notation computer software, DOM, and pioneered how to make virtual sports "feel" real in Earl Weaver Baseball, which he co-created. In 1993, Dombrower served as producer on Return to Zork, the first graphical version of the Zork games. He then served as head of the Interactive Division for Jim Henson Productions and led the creative efforts behind Muppet CD ROMs and the very first Henson.com web site. After Henson, he oversaw the E*TRADE web site and ran E*TRADE's Digital Financial Network of streaming audio and video financial news and information. Most recently, Dombrower was Senior VP of new brands at Match.com, where he created Chemistry.com. Eddie has taught Interactive writing and design courses at UCLA and CU and is the author of The Art of Interactive Game Design. Currently he is president of GDC Media in Boulder which is planning to launch an interactive social networking website for tweens this fall.

Has the Large Hadron Collider Destroyed the World Yet??
Not yet! But do stay tuned for updates... And on that note, take a few minutes to celebrate NASA's 50th Anniversary on a beautiful audio-visual tour.

New Google Chrome Browser is Good... but where's my Google Toolbar?
The new Google browser is fast, and I just placed an ecommerce order on a site to test out a lot of the functionality. Chrome is fast, it's clean, and is a refreshing non-bloated browser. As a web development company, we don't love the fact that we now need to test in yet another browser to make sure that sites work properly, but for the most part everything works well. One thing that is missing though, is the Google Toolbar that I've had in Internet Explorer for a long time. Not sure if I just can't find it? But things like auto-filling forms, page ranking information, and other features like links to news are missing from the browser. Perhaps that's coming in a second version? I've come to rely on the Google Toolbar, especially as I test a lot of sites and fill out forms. But for a first version, it's a great new piece of software. Try it out! -- Jeff
