Flipping through the book Lost Crafts, I came upon this gem. Advice when building a dry stone wall…

Today is Nick's 10-year anniversary at iMarc. His partners threw him a little wine and cheese party, then surprised him with a gift — One of Gibson's Les Paul '57 reproductions, goldtop. Check out Nick's photo and commentary.

While we were building out the new iMarc website, a colleague and I had a vehement disagreement over link behavior. There is a link to the Newburyport Chamber of Commerce on the about page, and my esteemed colleague Karin wanted it to open in a new window — because when she opens a link leading off any site, she wants a new window to preseve her old one. I argued that this would be user-unfriendly because it changed the state of the…—

For the past 975 days our website looked the same.
Some of the content changed. Some of the graphics changed. But basically the design template that launched in May, 2007 was still employed in December, 2009.
That design held up well for two and half years. However, since we're a web design company, we should eventually redesign our own website, right?

Last night, we attended the MITX Interactive Awards ceremony. Two of our clients were in the running as finalists — North Shore Association of REALTORS® and Ounce Labs.
We lost out to some bigger competition (it happens — little David doesn't always win!) but were happy to be in such good company.
But more to the point ... the ceremony featured iMarc: The Video Game
2009 MITX Movie - Video Game from iMarc LLC on …

On Monday, iMarc added our first front-end developer to the growing team. Welcome Angelo Simeoni.
Wait... did you say "first" front-end developer? Yes. Until now, all front-end HTML, CSS, and Javascript has been shared by the developers and designers. We've benefited from programmers who understand usability, typography and design; as well as designers who are comfortable cutting up comps and writing Javascript. However, we also…

iMarc is 12 years old
Yesterday we had a little birthday party as we turned 12 years old.
As we enter the awkward 'tween years, we look back with fondness at some of our own strange old websites.
But we also look forward. Here's a sneak peak at our new website about to be launched...
Happy 12th Birthday To Us

This weekend, once again, Oregon State and USC are GOING TO WAR! And iMarc represents. Allow me to introduce iMarc's Warriors.
For USC: KIM "Bring It On" JACKSON For OSU: KARIN "No Prisoners" KLAPAK
This year, it's not just a friendly competition — it's a grudge match. Because last year, Kim brought it on. And her proud warrior tradition ... did not prevail.
Once again, they're talking trash and proudly sporting team regalia and…
