ORANGEBLOG

Every year, it’s said, but every year it’s so true: “It’s the holiday’s already? Where did the year go?” It went lots of places, and it went there in a hurry, but that’s for a year recap entry.

With the holidays fast approaching, ORANGEHAT has wrapped up it’s last full work week of 2008. Please note the following dates below that we will be closed:

December 24-27
December 31- January 1, 2009

We will resume normal work weeks and schedules January 2, 2009.

Happy Holidays, and best wishes to everyone families for a safe and happy new year!

We’re big fans of brand integrity here at ORANGEHAT. We love it when we can expand our brand and our look in so many aspects of our company. And a big tip of our HAT goes to Converse for offering yet another way to customize their shoes. A fan favorite ours here is the Double Tongue Chuck Tayler® and they just became available on their website to customize. And behold, the official shoe for ORANGEHAT has been created. We should get our pair in 2-4 weeks, and are pretty excited. If you’d like to order your own ORANGEHAT Chuck, email us, and we can send you the steps to build your own!

… and it smells tasty. It’s the smell of a small, yet delicious little web-app that ORANGEHAT is currently putting together. It’s our first one (that will be sold at least) and I’m really excited about it.

I don’t want to give away too much just yet (we’re big fans of keeping up suspense), but it’s something that I think most small business or even people could use to help share content with non-techy users. We’re still in development and design, but just like a good Thanksgiving feast, you have to get your hands dirty and prep the turkey for a good while before everyone can sit down and enjoy the meal.

Here at ORANGEHAT are big Mac fans. We have a slew of Apple’s hardware and software and are keen on staying up-to-date with all our equipment for fun and for efficiency. Our most recent purchase was an iMac earlier this year, with only 1GB or RAM. While we love Apple, we don’t love how much they charge for RAM upgrades. Late last week, I spy’d a deal on 4GB of Crucial RAM, and couldn’t pass on it.

So long is the days of 1GB, and I’m now rocking two 2GB sticks for 4GB total. So where I thought the iMac was fast before, it’s even faster now! It’s all in an effort to constantly make us faster and more efficient to meet design needs, or just to surf this world web interweb.

We just wrapped up a pretty quick landing page for Havit Advertising. Slick and simple in design – fully equipped with a downloadable vCard. Example of what we can develop in a relatively short amount of time!
