Well, well, well. We had LOADS of feedback on the new SolidSmack site design we launched last month. Some liked it. Some hated it. And some wanted to see more cats. There’s no way we’re showing more cats… at least, not after the one above–dang that thing’s cute, with little angry Psy screaming at him…
It’s been a busy week. Despite all appearances, Josh and I have not (yet) stepped into an alternate dimension (only to be abducted by Jamie Farr space aliens…). Yes, we still occasionally record the odd something (emphasis on ‘odd’), but mostly we’ve been working on Other Stuff:
BOOM. Today it happens. What is ‘it’ praytell? Today is the day we as EVD Media slap the back fat of the internet, look it square in the eyes and grow just a wee bit larger. Today we announce that mCADForums.com is now part of the CAD slammin’, design havin’ EVD Media communi-tay. That’s right…
That… is a flying yak. Next to a flying girl. Nevermind the girl though. The yak is what you have to worry about. Why, you ask? It’s a blood-thirty yak, and by blood, I mean talent. We’re looking for a Production Ninja Whitebelt ready to take on the hairy yak beast that is EvD Media.…

The time has come. Like hot flaming liquid poured straight into a web server, pounded with a hambone made of lightning and set on the table for everyone to partake… the new SolidSmack site is LIVE. It’s about time also, the old site was kinda shiny lookin’ but had the content kickin’ factor of wadded…

The first of the new SolidSmack crew is none other that Colorado native, Jeffrey Matthias. Jeffrey brings his experience in furniture design, fabrication and gadgetry of various sorts to the fold. He prods, pokes and…
Maybe ‘Punch’ is a bit to harsh? It’s actually more like a firm jabbing with the blunt end of an answered question… multiple questions. Vicious, I know, but it will all be worth it for reasons you will soon be able to feast your eyes upon. If you’ve been kneeling waist deep in porridge, watching…
