As of about 88 minutes ago I am no longer bound by the terms of the non-compete clause of the shareholder’s agreement I signed while an employee at Somnio—the creative agency I helped start in 2002. It has been one full year since I resigned my position there on January 18th 2007. It’s been quite [...]
I just saw a commercial from my local cable television company letting its viewers know that they were looking for “highly motivated individuals” looking for a challenging new career. They, of course, touted their competitive wages, competitive benefits and 401(k). My question is this: What would motivate anyone to take a job [...]
It became necessary this week for me to purchase my own domain. I went with the most obvious choice, bryanbartow.com. The process was quite painless thanks to HostMonster. Since I was already mucking around with MySQL and what not, I decided to make the move to WordPress to power my blog. [...]
Upon my return from the city that never sleeps, I came to the realization that I had two major problems I needed to solve quickly. First, my trusty Motorola RAZR had serious battery issues, which resulted in less than five minutes of talk time and an hour of standby. I should note that [...]

Whilst in a meeting today, I was asked how my company was harnassing [...]
It’s been over a week since I’ve posted. I’ve been in beautiful San Jose, California on business. I managed to write a quasi-thorough review of Microsoft Word 2007 Beta 2 whilst traveling. I’ll post it shortly and hope to have a screen cast of the review up tonight or tomorrow.
While the weather [...]
So, we finally decided on a name for the company. SOMNIO, which is Latin for to dream. Very fitting for a creative agency, I think. We have overhauled our branding and refined our story to be more indicative of who we are. So far, our customers have responded favorably, which is [...]
I now know why companies spend so much time and money to come up with the perfect name. A bad or, mismatched, name can give a company serious problems in the mind share department. We’ve been trying to come up with a name that is more descriptive of and appropriate for our business. [...]
Hard to find time to do anything, much less write in a blog, when you’re working 16 hours a day. Here’s that latest:
Bryce is getting big.
Work is good and bad.
My wife is lovely.
The Texas Longhorn football team is 60 minutes away from the Big Prize.
Company Dog and Pony was tonight. It’s always interesting [...]
