Cranking out code on the new site!

My bro (Matt) is in from San Francisco to lead development on the new Penguin site. Matt is one of the best web developers I know. He drives a computer like it's a motorcycle... with hardcore driving gloves and everything! We're putting in 16+ hours a day all week, and our goal is to go live with some new features before we leave for FISM on Friday.

We've already implemented one small feature... in response to your feedback that the autoplay STS video on the frontdoor of the site "was driving you nuts!!!" we've made a small change. Now, the STS video only plays the first couple of times you visit. On future visits the site recognizes that you've already watched the STS video and rotates in another video. Hopefully that will be much less annoying (I visit the site more than anyone, and I'm loving the change).

Here's a picture I snapped of Matt writing code for the new site. We're working at my house so we don't have any distractions.

Great! I love to hear that Penguin Magic is keeping up with all the latest technology and responding by making changes. I can't wait until I see the new changes. Keep up the hard Work!
