    This isn’t only the name of a very good song, it also kind of embodies all the feels that go on this time of year. It’s the last few days of summer, and fall is already in the air, in… Continue reading

  • Working from…. Anywhere?

    I recently figured out how to work on videos just about anywhere. And I’m not so sure how I feel about it. Yeah, okay, we’re THOSE people. Or at least, we’re trying to be those people. You know, the ones… Continue reading

  • Frisco

    Last week, we got the chance to take a total chill out few days up in the hills in Frisco. Long story short, Matt’s parents had a condo and that fell through for them, and we got to stay there… Continue reading
