We love anything to do with tigers – Frosted Flakes, Siegfried and Roy, Danno Enterprises, even Exxon. That’s why we we’re always excited to work with Tora Trading Systems. We aren’t entirely sure what they do (though it involves stocks and Asia), but they have a tiger in their logo!

In which we welcome our new Office Manager, Haiba Hamilton, and say goodbye to our old Office Manager.

Via Speak Up, we came across this little audio treasure; an all-too-true sentiment of what can happen when there’s a breakdown in client communication.

We would like to officially welcome Mr. David Schmittdiel to our team. Many of you may remember David’s earlier adventures with us almost two years ago when he was working as a Marketing something-or-other. But after we discovered a trail of office supplies leading from our storage closet to his pockets, we asked him to leave and never come back.

We have once again used our inimitable skills to create a website that is likely to change the world as we know it. Would you like to see the website? You would, wouldn’t you? I can tell. Don’t worry. There’s nothing to be scared of. It’s just a website like any other. Except for the part where it will change the world as we know it.

Loud Dog celebrates Christmas 2007 at the Slanted Door.

Hot on the heels of the BvH Law redesign, comes the exciting news of the Final Table Poker redesign! Though not a complete redesign, it’s a significant update to an earlier incarnation we created years previous.

Our most recent endeavor, a complete retooling of the BvH Law website, was launched this weekend. You may have read about in such fictional publications as Loud Dog Website News Daily or Stuff You Just Learned You Care About.

It was a great opportunity to infuse an old site with much needed life, just as a paramedic would a slightly dead person with a defibrillator. It’s sort of like we’re internet paramedics, but without any of the potential for loss of life. And when the person comes back to life, they’re better than they ever were!

We would like to give an official welcome to our four newest employees, Jodi, Marty, Mat and Tia. They are a mostly irreplaceable group, bringing years of experience to our team. We appreciate not only their talents, but their charm, wit and awesome hairdos.

Though we’ve been in our current offices for almost two years, it wasn’t until yesterday that we finally got a proper sign. We suffered through several months with no sign at all, then a paper sign taped to the door and, for a brief period, we hired a drifter to stand on the street waving a handwritten sign we’d made in a moment of abject miscalculation.

There's a reason we haven't been returning your calls. For some of you (Kyle), it's because we're just avoiding you. Plain and simple. But mostly we've been so swamped with work that we haven't had as much time as we would like.

A much-overdue welcome to Annaliese Dell’aringa, our new “office mommy.” Annaliese, currently attending SFSU (which she claims is some sort of a “school” or something), enjoys taking helicopter rides with her nephew, expelling numerous expletives in Italian to us when she gets angry, counting and most of all buying expensive gifts for her co-worker and idol Jon.
