I’d like you all to meet Anesh. Anesh is kimtown’s lead programmer and he rocks our projects! We started working together about a year and a half ago and met through an inquiry on TWITTER (see it really is a GREAT tool)! He’s really fantastic and has the most ADORABLE family!

You can read his full bio on the ABOUT OUR TEAM page.

Here is something funny for your morning…

Me: England, where are you? (hollering through the house)

England (my almost 3yr old): …. (no response)

Me: England! Answer me!!

England: (high tails it into my room) I’m not touching anything!!

Me: You didn’t touch anything?

England: No, I didn’t touch anything!

Me: What did you not touch?

England: Your computer, the refrigerator, not the waffles and I was NOT eating the cereal…

Have special plans this 09/09/09?

Everyone from brides and grooms to movie studio execs are celebrating the upcoming calendrical anomaly in their own way.
In Florida, at least one county clerk’s office is offering a one-day wedding special for $99.99. The rarity of this Sept. 9 hasn’t been lost on the creators of the iPod, who have moved their traditional Tuesday release day to Wednesday to take advantage of the special date. Focus Features is releasing their new film “9,” an animated tale about the apocalypse, on the 9th.
Not only does the date look good in marketing promotions, but it also represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we’ll see for almost a century (until January 1, 2101), or a millennium (mark your calendars for January 1, 3001), depending on how you want to count it.

What do murder, pedophilia, suicide and a baby tiger have in common? They have all been used to sell stuff in these amazingly disturbing vintage ads!

These are real, untouched advertisements from the good old days. It doesn’t matter if it’s lovely ladies or adorable clowns, somehow these old-time ad wizards found ways to traumatize us while pedaling everyday products.

Enjoy them now, call your therapist later!

DRAPER — A Herriman woman uses her talent as a photographer to help ease the pain of parents whose babies have passed away. Friends and associates call Julie Williams an angel on earth.

This week we gave her a High 5. We met her at Draper City Park, where she was setting up a booth for the Draper Days event.

“You’re giving them something no one else can. You’re giving them their baby to remember.” -Julie Williams, High 5 recipient
Julie is a photographer for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, an organization that takes portraits of babies who have passed away or who will soon pass.

Amy Whitney nominated Julie for the High 5. Amy says she’s very appreciative of what Julie did for her and her husband after they lost their first baby.

“Julie had come as a volunteer for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep,” Amy explained. “That’s where I first met Julie and we’ve become fast friends. The more I learn about her the more I am in awe.”

Julie told us, “I get asked all the time why I do what I do. I honestly don’t know, other than I see the reaction of the families. I know how much those images heal those families and help them with grief through these times.”

The first thing she tells photographers she’s training is, “You have to look past the pain, past the sadness to when the parents pick up those images, with tears streaming down their faces, and you’re giving them something no one else can give them. You’re giving them their baby to remember.”

I met the coolest gal named Julie Green, and her son, at a sidewalk sale. Her shop, called “Glamorous Misfits”, stocks custom hair falls, bracelets and necklaces. My 8 yr old had a fit over them! These falls are smaller, which is great for kids, and lighter than the full versions (which can get pretty large). GM does not have a website just yet…I hope to be building her one soon, but if you’d like to see more pictures and/or order them I can give you her contact information. 

The bracelet and necklace were custom made, by her son (who is 9 if I remember), to match the falls that Julie had made earlier. These are just so cool!!

I’m glad I missed this storm!! Hope my J-ville peeps are okay!!! This is some amazing footage from an office just down the street from my sister’s house in Jacksonville (where I will be staying when I move EEK). Keep an eye out at the AMAZING view they got at about 2:27. WOW is all I can say!

One of the things I loathe is doing laundry. LOL I loathe it even more when my back is acting up. So I managed to wash it but just couldn’t muster the strength to fold it all (and this isn’t even all of it!). (good news though…I did get it all folded)

So today, show me your pile of laundry! Clean or dirty, with your pets or friends burried in it (hopefully it’s clean then), folded or thrown around…how ever you want to show me! But hurry! This contest is only for today! Tell your friends and co-workers, vendors or anyone you’d like! These sites are for everyone! Submit your image by midnight and the winner will be announced this weekend!!! 

Tell me about it and upload it HERE

The winner will receive an HTML WEBSITE by kimtown (choose from Diversity Light or Diversity Dark!)

Some rules:
PLEASE resize your image to no larger than 900px on the longest side.
You may only enter once so make it your best!
PLEASE lightly watermark your image if you don’t want it taken.
Have fun!!

It’s one of those days that you just need to hear this:
