Skydeck360 is a new online recruiting tool designed to help top MBA candidates get jobs in this tough market. We provided art direction, illustration, and Flash animation to create a short video introducing their service. Little did we know how much of a huge pain it would be to convert a SWF into a video file that would upload to YouTube. Thankfully, we came across Sreenium, which allowed us to capture the SWF on our screen and make it into a MOV file. Skydeck360 is currently opening up its services to students at Harvard Business School and recruiters looking to hire there.
We'll be working from a lakeside house this week in South Hero, VT. Thought it'd be nice to get some fresh air while we get things done. We've also managed to chop some wood, row the canoe, and make lots of s'mores. It's a bit chilly up here, but we're looking forward to a fun and active week. More pics coming soon!
Steamboat Foundation’s Special Grants Program is designed to support individuals and organizations that create unique programs to help impoverished communities around the globe.
We recently expanded the Steamboat Foundation's Special Grants Program section on its website with updated information on all the grantees. Each grantee page has detailed tabs that include Overview, Needs Addressed, Biography of the Grantee leader, and the Program's Accomplishments. We also created graphics for charts and timelines to help better visualize the information. Back in 2007, when we first started working with the Steamboat Foundation, Right to Play was its first and only grantee. We're very happy to see that the program has added four quality grantees to the program and continues to grow.
Picked up these two baby bottles for the office. They're from Tuthilltown Spirits, New York's first whiskey distillery since Prohibition. They're a bit pricey at $42 for a 375ml bottle, but we're very excited to try them out.
We're making room for some new stuff coming soon to our Barrel Shop. We've put two Awesome Creatures shirts - the Fish-Brained (female sizes only) and the Boll F*cking Weevil - on sale for just $10! If you'd like to learn more about these shirts, check out their respective pages:
We're very pleased to announce the launch of Barrel Stock Photos, a collection of 18 high-quality photos of New York City taken and meticulously post-processed by our summer intern Kevin Hong. Kevin spent several days walking around the city to capture these sights with his Canon Rebel XS and spent countless hours touching up each photo. These images are 100% free for you to take and use in any way, no need to credit. They also come in a variety of sizes for your convenience.
Long gone are the good old days when we could hold drinking parties at our office. A few months ago, we relocated to a shared office environment in Flatiron and were deprived of a venue for holiday parties and political rallies. But we're a determined bunch and will work hard for a way to gather friends in a drink-friendly environment. Our first attempt is a Happy Hour session at Rogue, a bar close to our office. We hope you'll join us. Details are below:
Barrel Happy Hour Tues, September 15 6PM-8PMRogue 6th Ave. b/w 25th and 26th Sts.$4 house mixed drinks Snacks are on us!We'll be holding a raffle to give away two Barrel Cardigans (one male, one female), so we hope that will be an added incentive!
Nothing lifts up our spirits on a rainy day than a pleasant surprise. Today, the surprise came in the form of a visit from one of our favorite clients, Sunday Brunch's Judy Kou, who came bearing the gift of a beautiful bottle of single malt whiskey. Awesome.
And for you ladies out there, be sure to catch a super sale on summer dresses at Sunday Brunch as well as the new fall collection.Visit: www.sundaybrunchdress.com
