Sometimes I'm so focused on getting high quality client work out the door it's hard to focus on my own website. Well, after some long weeknights and weekends the new look is finally here-- new logo, new colors, fancier site, and even more focus on DRUPAL! (Oh, and even cooler-- this new site is running on Drupal 7)
