No, this is not a spineless diatribe on why we are all winners. Even though I received a trophy when my 1987 youth soccer team came in last place, I don't share that sentiment. No ... this is about win-win situations. One in particular in fact.
I wrote a while ago about seeing a
"To Write Love On Her Arms" t-shirt while at Disneyland while my family was there celebrating my wife's birthday. We love that place. So when we heard about their program this year about getting a day pass for giving a day of service (
Give a Day, Get a Disney Day), we jumped at the opportunity.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Disneyland for my wife's birthday. While it is (by my opinion, and many others') the "happiest place on earth," there are certain things that made this trip even more enjoyable. Not only did my wife receive hundreds of "Happy Birthdays" from the cast workers (due to the birthday button you get on your birthday), but I got to see some of our clients' represented as well.

With a little help from a client...
Our logo (the gear) lends itself to many-a-unique uses.

Websites have sure grown up
As one of the "older" employees at SiteCrafting, and as I get ever closer to the birth of my first child, I find myself mirroring my father's sentimentality by reminiscing about the "good 'ol days". Sometimes the "they don't build 'em like they used to" adage can be a wistful lament, whereas other times it can be joyful proclamation. Gone are the days of the sturdy, craftsman house with rough-cut timber and spacious attics, as we now build with prefabricated trusses, foam-filled roof sections, and 4x2 lumber that's really 3 1/2 x 1 1/2.

Why it's important to listen
Here at SiteCrafting, we are quite busy with new projects. As such, we have realized that additional staff is necessary to meet the demands for our services. With the addition of new staff members comes the need for more furniture. We also decided that this would be a great time to rearrange the office, and create 3-4 person "pods" for team collaborative purposes. So, we headed off to the furniture store that supplied us with our current desks and chairs, hoping to place an order for 14 new tables.

I've been using a fairly complicated function to grab the extension of an uploaded file. I have run across many instances where I have wanted to split up the file name from the file extension, or just find the file type. Since MIME types are not reliable enough for grabbing a true extension, I have been using this aforementioned function.
