The kids came to the office today after school to work on art projects. They saw Sonja and me preparing swirlbots for One Spark, and they wanted to get in on the action. Fun times at Motionbuzz HQ!
Work Anywhere
Technology has allowed me to work anywhere. Sometimes I get bummed when the weather is perfect, and I’m stuck in the office. Then I remember I have a laptop and Wi-Fi hotspot. I can work anywhere.

Nine years ago, we were blessed with our first bundle of joy. Happy birthday baby girl! You and your brother are our pride, motivation, and inspiration to always do our best. Love always, Mom and Dad.
Down to Earth Farm
Check out our new video about Down to Earth Farm. We’ve been long-time fans of the farm and thoroughly enjoy eating their fresh, locally grown vegetables. Our whole family visited the farm, then Thomas and I went back for the video shoot. Thank you Brian and Kristen for sharing your story with us. It’s truly inspirational.
What is the fastest responsive WordPress theme that supports child themes?
I’ve been on a quest to find the fastest responsive WordPress theme that supports child themes. After running Motionbuzz.com on Drupal 5 and 6 for over four years, I switched to WordPress in early 2012. Why? Great question, but the answer deserves its own post.

In Atlanta for Drupal Business Summit, Drupalcamp, and Music
Last month I experienced my first Drupal Business Summit and Drupalcamp Atlanta. I thoroughly enjoyed both, learned a lot, and met some super smart people. I also got to hang out with my longtime friend and colleague Paul Piszko of Piszko Design. We’ve worked on several Drupal projects together, so this was a perfect opportunity for both of us to connect with the Atlanta Drupal community.
New York Hospital Websites After Hurricane Sandy
It’s interesting to see which NYC-area hospitals have alerts about Hurricane Sandy. The design and placement of alerts really affects visibility. As we’ve seen with Sandy, power outages disable many individuals from using a desktop computer and wired internet connection.
