We're closing for the Holiday Season because we're actually cyborgs who need servicing. Plank was attacked by Angry Birds during our annual holiday party and we've all been hospitalized with beak wounds to our extremities. We've been bought out by Google and are all off to the Googleplex for a few weeks. OK. Seriously. We're...
What is a back-end programmer, such as myself, doing at a conference like An Event Apart? Truth be told, I learned HTML and CSS before I learned PHP. As such, I’ve always had an interest in the techniques and technologies used on the front-end web, even though I’ve made my home on the back-end. I...
Plank's own extremely creative Office Manager Colin MacKenzie did a wonderful interview with the last surviving member of the Vince Guaraldi trio.

The holidays are upon us, and with them come opportunities to celebrate with family, good friends and colleagues, taking the time to cherish each passing moment we have with one another, reminding ourselves of the miracle and wonder that is life itself.

Girl you know it's true... Oooh Oooh Oooh Sarah's first concert was... "I think it was New Kids on the Block at the Forum in Montreal. My dad and my friend’s dad brought a group of us 12 year old girls and I just remember this girl screaming so hard and crying hysterically right next...
We had a special visitor at the office last week whom Cliff, our office dog, was especially happy to meet. George quickly took over the space and made himself at home while he recovers from a trick knee he likely obtained while being suave and sophisticated. Here he is in a production meeting giving face...
What a Fall it's been in the mobile universe. The first week of October saw the death of the single most influential person in the industry. Whether you're an agency, a developer, or a consumer, whether you love or hate Apple, Steve Jobs led the charge in re-defining how we design, develop, and experience digital...
Plank has been really busy this Fall. Really busy. As we look back on some of our recent site launches, it's clear that clients are moving towards requesting mobile versions, in addition to the usual web presence to reach those who aren't content to stay put in one place and take their reading on the...

Plank loves music and our passion for it started early on. In the next few posts, we'll be dancing down memory lane with stories of the first concerts the wee little Plankers (aka -Splinters) attended. First off, our dear Warren Wilansky shares his little secret. Sadly, I think that I have to admit that unfortunately,...
Our very own Geoff Weeks will be attending the SCREENS 2011 event as part of the FITC Events series. Specifically for mobile, tablet and set top box developers, Geoff will be nerding it up with over 40 presentations and panels that will no doubt blow his mind like an Angry Bird busting up a little...
