We’ve just been informed that the JGS, Inc. Forward Thinking Museum, which Workshed helped to develop, has been nominated as one of five finalists in the SXSW Web Awards Art category! This is the big one, the hot tamale, the cream of the crop! We’re excited to have been a part of this project along with our friends and partners at MacTechHelp.com.
So everyone close your eyes, begin to chant whatever chant you desire, and think good thoughts for the Forward Thinking Museum. Nam myoho renge kyo… nam myoho renge kyo… nam myoho renge kyo…

That’s right folks, at the end of December, we’ll be moving into a new office space—just down the street from our current location. If you’ve been in Camas, you may remember Artistic Home and Garden. We’ll be taking over the front end of their space and making it into our own little Workshed haven as of January 1, 2009. Our new address will be:
421 NE Cedar St.
Camas, WA 98607
We’ll have the same old phone number and fax number, as well as the same PO Box address.
We hope you enjoy your new year as much as we plan to enjoy ours!

Hi everyone. I wanted to take a moment to update you on our office status during the inclement weather we’ve been having here in the Northwest lately. Workshed’s policy is typically to follow the school closures in Camas. When we close due to inclement weather, we generally telecommute and are available to answer questions via e-mail.
Additionally, Workshed will be CLOSED during the following dates:
- Wednesday, December 24 – Friday, December 26
- Thursday, January 1
Happy holidays to everyone!

I wanted to take a moment out to shift focus from internal chest-thumping to a pet project one of our employees has been working on for some time, which has become an invaluable tool for many a web developer.
Oscar Godson, one of our designer/developer folks, has created his own web app called Project Deploy*. It’s a genius tool that speeds of the process of generating a ready-to-go web site framework so you can quickly get started on your new web project. Select a few radio buttons, choose your flavor of XHTML, set some more options and BOOM! there you go. Instant web site skeleton ready for the skinning.
Not only has he created a great tool, but he’s also gotten the traffic for Project Deploy* into the 35,000 rank on the Alexa index. A truly impressive feat that is further proof he had a great idea and ran with it.
Congrats, Oscar!
