		<description><![CDATA[We’ve all had those nightmare clients, the ones who no matter how good a job you do, when it comes down to a problem, they can’t wait to rush over and tell you what a bum you are.  Many small companies kowtow to these clients out of a miss-guided sense of loyalty and usually because the client is still paying them and a small business is always watching their bottom-line. I believe this is a big mistake.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the recent projects we launched at BLUETUX was for Smash Hit Displays. They provide full service trade show display systems all USA residents. I was truly surprised at how competitive it is to market trade show displays on the internet! The PPC costs are high and the businesses seem pretty cut-throat. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I discovered an online service that allows people to create their own custom mix tapes and then upload the playlist to their service which will link to the songs and allow other people to view and share these lists with anyone. It's been totally addicting for me and I've discovered a ton of music from it. ]]></description>

We went to an out of the way farm trying to avoid most of the crowds and managed to find a nice little farm with some very large fields sprawling off into the distance. I've put in a few links to my flickr album showing the fields, link is after jump:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few months I've gotten more and more interested in graffiti and other urban art forms. My interest has mainly focused on stencil art because I'm not that good at free-hand painting at this point.  When I started to explore stencil graffiti I found a UK artist named banksy who's got quite the popular following and an extensive collection through-out the world. ]]></description>
