A word from an Appingo Production Manager

Have you ever heard the term “water finds a way”? I hadn’t. That is, until I became a [...]

Multi-Tasking in Real Life

Earlier this year I went back to my high school to meet with the Athletic Director, who happened to be my football and hockey coach when I played there. We had chatted briefly at the Alumni Hockey Game in January about the coming spring season and how he was looking for a coach for the [...]

Good Appingo morning

I had a really nice Appingo morning this morning.  I’ll tell you about it…
First of all, there was no reason that this particular morning should have been a good morning.  I had a 7A dentist appointment.  I was getting my teeth whitened for my upcoming wedding (yikes).  If you haven’t sat through a teeth whitening [...]

Appingo Sally goes for a bike ride.

With all of her projects on schedule and running smooth, Appingo Sally has enough time to go out for a leisurely bike ride in the park. No need to chase page 17 or hound copy editors for edits.

Dear Author,…

Enterprise Sales Guys

We’ve talked about Enterprise Sales quite a bit. We think there’s a lot to say. We think it’s expensive. We think it’s slow. We think implementations of tools that can help should be taken on quickly by the people that will directly benefit.
I grew up in a time of million dollar implementations in the graphic [...]

Happy Easter!

The Easter Pigeon, trying to follow in the footsteps of his more well-know cousin the Easter Bunny, dons his outfit and visits families around the world. He just can’t seem to accept his life as a lowly pigeon and strives for more. However, he likes to sleep in and his over-achieving cousin beats him out!

It IS that easy!

Appingo looked a little different to me when I first returned to the scene a few weeks ago. You see, I had a new baby recently and, well, I’ve been a little preoccupied. There are smiles to capture and naps to take here, diapers to change and tiny clothes to launder. Adjusting to life with [...]

Are Re-Tweets like Chain Letters?

Remember those chain letters? You know the ones. Sometime you still get them in e-mail. But really they were about the letter.
Send this letter to 10 friends, with your name at the bottom, and sent the name on the top $1. When each of you friends sends it along, and each of there friends send [...]
