Call it another shameless plug for our programming team, I had to include this in the blog for Skyler — our #1 stunner in Web Design. We had some feedback from our friend Bill at Fuji Arts, one of the world’s largest online purveyors of Japanese wood block artwork, and I just couldn’t wait to pass it along! So here goes:
When I interviewed for my position at DE, one of the first pieces of marketing material I was shown was a postcard that Skyler created. It was clean and simple — a beautiful, glossy design that reflected the look and feel of the brand-new website he had created. Understandably, Bruce was really proud of his work and wanted to demonstrate the caliber of work that was produced by the company.

Earlier this week, I mentioned how a handful New York City lawyers are trying to make the shift from billing by-the-hour to a flat-rate, case by case basis. If you haven’t been reading our newsletter, e-mail blasts, or this blog, you probably missed the part where we announced that we’ve expanded our services to include a one cost solution to your business technology. But during this past week, we acquired our first testimonial!
We met Autowatch last December and courted them with the idea of Fixed IT right away. Actually, they were among our first handful of clients to try out the new service plan — so it would be a new experience for them and us.

Dynamic Edge isn’t the only company on the planet making the shift away from hourly billing! Last week, we were featured in Michigan Business Review as a company shifting our business model to adapt to the changing economic climate.
Granted, it’s not a full shift.
An Ann Arbor information technology consulting firm is reworking its business model to directly confront the pressing budgetary constraints of a wide swath of local businesses.Dynamic Edge, which offers customized IT consulting to small to mid-size companies, is offering a pay-upfront solution to customers worried about getting stuck with huge IT fees…
It’s official! We’re in the news again!
A little over a week ago, Nathan Boomey from Ann Arbor Business Review came in to meet with Bruce about Fixed IT, a new service we released to customers on January 1, 2009. The photographer will be in today, doing his photographer thing, and the article will be published this Thursday… so look for it online and in your local coffeeshop’s magazine rack!

Raise your hand if you’ve ever sent a text to 466453. If you’ve done it, you already know that Google SMS is one the most helpful inventions of all time. At least in my humble, understated opinion.
4-6-6-4-5-3 = G-O-O-G-L-E on most cell phones. Text Google if you need anything (within reason) and you’ll get it. Here are some examples:
- Text “Pizza 48104” and you’ll get a list complete with address and phone number for Pizza House, Cottage Inn Pizza (3 locations), Papa John’s, Domino’s and “reply: more for more listings.”
- Text “USA 97” and get “23 Jan 2009 US 97 DTW Depart: 6:20 AM Departed LAS Arrive: 8:01 AM Landed Gate: T1/A12” and then some… WOW!
- Text “CBOU” and get “Stock: CBOU (Caribou Coffee Company, Inc.) 1.61(+0.00.0.17%) Jan 23 11:44am ET Real-time price data for NASDAQ.”
