A quick recap of our Apple Butter festival coverage (if you want to call it that).

It was our intent to provide a live video stream of the Apple Butter Festival Parade and post updates via our twitter account. Well, we got it half right.

The day started out well enough. We got a parking space without paying - a good omen to say the least. We walked downtown and found a good spot with access to the Berkeley Springs State Park WiFi and a good viewing angle that was close enough to... More about: Technology: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

As a sponsor of the 2008 Martinsburg-Berkeley County Chamber of Commerce Business Expo we were happy with the exposure that our business received leading up to the event and felt like whatever exposure we got at the expo would be a bonus.

We, and by we I mean Firebrand Media, designed the logo for the Expo as well as the overall look of the advertising pieces, brochures and rack-cards.

We weren't really sure what to expect as far as... More about: Business Expo a Success, How About the Chili Cook-Off?

WHOA NELLY !

It doesn’t make any sense to me though hard as I try, I suspect it never will. It’s not that I am too old to learn, it’s more likely that I am unwilling. It’s TMI (too much information) and would take a significant amount of effort – more than I am willing to put forth -... More about: AIG - Educated People Doing Uneducated Things

Why are Americans so united? They would not resemble one another even if you painted them all one color!? They speak all the languages of the world and form an astonishing mixture of civilizations and religious beliefs.

Still, the American tragedy turned three hundred million people into a hand put on the heart. Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the Army, or the Secret Service that they are only a bunch of losers. Nobody rushed to empty their bank accounts. Nobody rushed out onto... More about: An Ode to America

If you thought the days of handmade furniture were gone then you are sadly mistaken. Right here in our very own Eastern Panhandle we have a father and son team of true blue cabinetmakers. Furniture and cabinet making is a fine art, a skill some might think was lost long ago.
