We’d like to start a new series on the blog. “You’re Doing I.T. Wrong” is a series that we’ve had some debate over because we don’t want people to think we’re trying to pump up our own importance or abilities by pointing out how other people are doing it wrong. Sometimes, in the world of…

A man flying in a hot air balloon suddenly realizes he’s lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts to get directions, “Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?” The man below says: “Yes. You’re in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above…

We’re proud to announce our association with Dropbox. We’ve been using Dropbox internally for years and believe it to be the best cloud-based file collaboration and storage product available today. Recently, they have developed a business-focused product Dropbox for Business (formerly “Dropbox for Teams”). Dropbox Is Now The Data Fabric Tying Together Devices For 100M Registered…

Sidr is a very well made jQuery plugin that makes it easy to create a menu similar to the way Facebook “swipe-from-the-left” navigation screen on their iPhone app. There are a lot of options that would make it useful for full sized and mobile sites. Learn it. Use it. Love it.
Here’s a JavaScript library that’s certain to destroy any site’s popularity. Pestilence is a “collection of JavaScript utilities to ruin someone’s day, regardless of ability…or disability.” When added to a webpage, it will: Play a high-pitched noise at random intervals.

You know what bugs us around 13GNE HQ? The phrase: “The cobbler’s children have no shoes.” You know the idea, the mechanic with the worst running car, or a painter with a shoddily painted house, or an accountant who can’t file his taxes on time. The obvious reason is that they’re all too busy serving…

Octobeard is OVER! The final results are in, but it looks like someone has been holding out on us and if this was a contest (and it wasn’t), we’d have to get the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency involved. Jason Jason definitely had the most beard-like beard around: no weird bare patches that are common for part time beard wearers…

As we get closer to November (Movember?), we totally forgot that we had been excluding an important member of the 13GNE team from our not-a-contest of beard growing. Granted, as a Canine-American, he’s had plenty of beard growing experience, but it was no reason to overlook Cisco’s participation in our office shenanigans. Sorry buddy. Jason…

Another beard growing week has passed and we thought we’d give you an update on 13GNE’s Octobeard progress. One good thing to note is that we haven’t seemed to scare away any clients (yet). Jason Wooly mammoth + amazing designer = Jason Katzwinkel. As predicted, his beard is covering everything on his face except his forehead, eyes,…

What can 13 Guys do? Grow beards, that’s what! At the end of last month, we decided to focus more on client work and less on personal hygiene and Octobeard was born. We’re one week in and we thought we’d show you the results so far. Jason Jason pretty much looked this way about 15 minutes after…
