Business-Side

Please excuse the hammering and cussing - we’ve been renovating. What do you think of the new blog? Look about the same? Well, we’re hosted by WP-Engine now. And I found a way to add a Saturday Morning Productions logo - yahoo! Thanks to the handy dandy HTML tutorial I use. You know what? I added it to the Blogroll on the Sidebar so you can also find it when you need it. We moved a few more beams and added a trench, because who doesn’t love trenches? Result? Saturday Morning Reads. We’ll be adding more books as time goes by.

Adorable Daughter came up with a new monetary term: quadillon dollars. I wonder how many zeros that has! Brilliant.

Times are good (read: busy) at ‘The Basement’.  Too good.  We’re looking for a little help.  Please see the official job posting on our News page.

When music videos first came out, I think music* stars thought this would be a clever way to market their music – you know, appeal to the visual learners.  I don’t think they thought it would essentially quadruple their workload – learning ‘acting’ parts/dance moves – not to mention hiring of directors, writers, models, dancers.

While we don’t make any music videos at Saturday MP, I can’t help but relate to this model and blame the Internet for making us more work.  Sure, we sell Mini-Compressor on the Internet.  We market on the Internet.  We look up movie times on the Internet.  We love the Internet.  It has made us money, but it has made us more work too.

There’s a barber shop in our neighbourhood.  He’s recently cut his hours.  I’ve never met him before but I imagine he’s near retirement and would like to spend his hard earned money on trips and precious time with the grandkids.  I kinda imagine him to be like the Wealthy Barber.  Anyway.  He cut his hours.  He’s only open limited hours 4 days a week.  Ironically, his shop is next to a former bank.  I got a few laughs when I told Chris it would be funny if we could get pictures of the new barber’s hours next to the bank’s hours.
