We’ve just been involved with a little project for the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra. They’re putting on some fun concerts specifically for the little ‘uns. If you’re blessed with anklebiters yourself, you may want to pop along and learn ‘em some culture. Who knows, you may even find you have a prodigy on your hands. For more information check this page.

You probably think it’s a bit pathetic, the things we get excited about. We’ve been working on some fresh stationery and shirts to kick off 2011 with. Not completely revolutionary by any means—more of a subtle refinement of our branding that we’ve been using since 2006. The blue is new though, and we’re loving the introduction of a bit of colour for a change. Those of you who are as pernickety about colour as us are probably wondering why the blue is slightly lighter than the masthead of our website. Inspired by a favourite little app of ours, f.lux, we specifically designed our website to be a little ‘dim’ so it’s easier on the eyes late at night (when we expect to be making most updates since we’re busy with clients all day) and so the site draws less power.
We’re particularly pumped about our new shirts—we couldn’t help but run with three designs. They’re so popular we’re starting to wonder if we ordered enough. Keep your eyes peeled for them around Auckland! And if the wearer is up to anything dodgy, the shirt is obviously stolen.
We also thought we’d take this opportunity to wish everyone the merriest of Xmases and the happiest of New Years. Enjoy your holiday and safe travels. We’ll be back on board on the 10th of Jan, fully decked out in lavish regalia.

Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 4:47PM Well, 2.0 might be more appropriate. Some of our earlier efforts could barely be described ‘websites’.
Here’s a screen capture of our first ‘site’—perhaps a bit of nostalgia for those who have been with us for a while. A bit tragic, looking back. Probably something to do with our tendency to make our own websites, including this one you’re reading now, despite the fact that we are decidedly not web developers.
As you can see, we’re embracing all kinds of Web 2.0 technologies with this site. Better late than never, as they say. The reality is, we’ve only just convinced ourselves that we have something worthwhile to add to the blogosphere, tweetosphere and any other spheres this lands on. You may beg to differ—and please feel free to let us know about it. We have generously bestowed the capability of comment upon you, so fire away with your suggestions and praise.
For the ultra savvy among you who like to let the internet wash over you, we’ve prepared this handy RSS feed you can subscribe to here.
That’s all for now but be sure to check back often. We’ll be updating the site regularly with more of our fondest projects and riveting articles.
Faithfully yours, The MakeReady Team.
