Apple's 'KEYNOTE' - What do we think?
Keynote is a neatly designed & smart alternative to Microsoft power-point.
I was not aware until recently that Keynote was specifically designed for Steve Jobs himself. As one of the most engaging corporate presenters of our time, this doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

The Evolution of The Tablet Claw - Part 2
The first prototype was received with much excitement and anticipation!
We had come a long way with the design and functions. The ringlet had taken shape, and was now capable of being more than just a ringlet, but also a kickstand.

When you Know...You Know
We have worked extensively with designers over the past year: developing, tweaking and retooling the Tablet Claw, and it has resulted in some great advances as well as minor setbacks.
Just when we thought the design was starting to stray from our original concept, we had a second set of eyes review the CAD file, and we were amazed at what a little outside help can do.

Kickstarter & The Political Campaign
Kickstarter is a fantastic way to dip into fundraising for a project, whether it be a design project like ours with Tablet Claw, or a dance project, art, music…etc.
