New Job as a Web Developer at Fathom

Category : Around The Office, Around West Hartford

Sweet!

I’ve taken a job at Fathom in Hartford doing mostly web development and cross browser css work on some of their bigger projects. I’m excited to be pushed in this direction and glad to bring my experience with SEO and graphic culture to their mix.

I started last Monday and I love it! The people are creative and friendly and the office is decked out with enmities (and a Guinness tap), but its the little things —like free parking downtown— that make me really happy to be working for a company that actually cares about the wellbeing of their employees as well their bottom line.

Certinly what goes around comes around and I work late; Im debating going in on Monday anyway even though its a holiday. I havn’t quite set it up so that I can work from home and I have to get some work done for their client.

I’m still working with all my existing clients by doing work on Monday afternoon, evening and weekends, but I’m not taking on any more clients — which is a great feeling. I’ll still be on the blog, probably more frequently as I’ll be constantly looking for new solutions and work around to the web’s many mysteries.

New Address: Sisson Ave – Across from the Wood N Tap

Hatters Workshop is moving into Hartford. We’re growing up and moving out of the house we started in. This is a big step, which hopefully won’t end in financial ruin (kidding!). I’m excited to have my own space that I can really do anything with. I still have to arrange the furniture, put on some closet doors, and change the lights from being all fluorescent lights.

I might have the only PC only design lab in Connecticut, which might put some people off, but I still say that it saves me a conversion step with almost all my clients. They don’t use mac, the world doesn’t use mac (in general) so why should all the design work be done on a platform that is unused by the rest of the world?

I should have an Amazing intern starting once the move is complete, and the work is still rolling in. I’ve got to write two proposals by the end of the day and the phone never stops ringing. Thank goodness I don’t advertise or I’d never see light.

Thank you all for reading this, and being a witness to history.
