Hey! You found our blog. This is where we post updates about what's going on at Emtwo (vacations, news, schedule updates). We also write about what's going on in our lives as well as cool sites we visit or fun tips and tricks we find around the internet. We're not a "specialty" blog focusing on any one subject or category. We like to keep things open, fun and light. We hope you'll stick around and share your thoughts with us.
Do websites need to look exactly the same in every browser?
We are busy finishing up some projects before we take off for Christmas and New Years. This will be our second Christmas in our house, but the first where we will be sitting back and enjoying every moment. Last year we moved 5 days before Christmas and it was totally insane. We are striving for a much calmer holiday season this year.
Our office will be closed starting Tuesday December 23, 2008 and will reopen on Monday January 5, 2009. We will be around doing maintenance and other general administrative duties during that time, but for the most part we will be enjoying the holidays with our family. Emails and phone calls will be returned on and after January 5th. As always, if you have an emergency, please email us with a big red blinking “EMERGENCY” in the subject line and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.
We hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season and we thank you for your continued business and support during 2008.
’Tis the season! The season of giving and being with family and stringing up lights and eating too many cookies. I love Christmastime. The season that truly inspires. I thought I would round up some things here that have been inspiring me lately. Some Christmas themed and some not. Hope you enjoy!
1. Rock Scissor Paper has a wonderful site. I totally dig their whole vibe, but their holiday shoppe is by far, one of my favorites.
3. I just recently came across Off Leash Style, “a contemporary pet boutique”. They have a wide range of pet related items for both dogs and cats from toys and apparel to organic food and treats. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of our kids found a few Off Leash items in their stockings this year
4. I was over at Colorburned, reading their how-to article on creating your own burberry style. I love Burberry and for some reason it reminds me of the holidays. So I went on the hunt for some sharp Burberry items at Burberry USA Online. I could spend all day on that website...admiring but not buying. I can not justify in anyway $195.00 for an umbrella, but I can think it’s gorgeous and put it in my shopping bag for fun!
At first glance, Google Chrome is sleek, simple, fast and different. But is it really all that?
There are some stories out that really makes you wonder. For example, the fine print (thank you Mr. Boyink for this link) The number 2 item listed in that article is really scary.

Does it really mean what I think it means? Somebody hold me! And make damn sure you read the terms of use and really understand what it is you are handing over to the top search engine in the United States.
And it’s not just your content, but the websites you visit and use every day. Is Big Brother Google Watching? If I had to guess, he certainly is.
It will be interesting to see how Chrome does out there in the big world of browser wars.
