Today we received a care package from one of our favorite people Melinda Van Kirk. We just want to send a special thank you to her for her friendship, her support, and her candy! We would also like to take this moment to say that we love getting candy (hint).

In our constant effort to both stay in shape and procrastinate from actual work the Maven team embarked on its first official Man Challenge. Today’s challenge: Who can hold up a pair of iMac boxes the longest? The competition was fierce, tempers were high, and in the end there could be only one Champion.

Thanks to recent graduates Jake & Drew we had the opportunity to use Full Sail University’s Green Screen Room (that was actually Blue). We did some test video shots for an upcoming interactive piece on Kyle Korver’s website. The process was a blast and we’re looking forward to playing with some of the amazing HD footage. Stay tuned for the final product.

Today Alastair finally took a break from his normal routine of haircuts, 2 hour lunches, and lallygagging around town with his wife to actually finish up the website. Thanks tree stump you’re a real pro! Actually we’re pretty proud of wearemaven.com. The range in our portfolio, and the actual work looks absolutely incredible!! I’m blown away that I get to work with such talent. The site should serve us more than well to generate some early interest in Maven.
