So, why Babyface? Some people think it's a cute name. Some people think it's stupid. Some people send me fan mail thinking we have something to do with the musician/producer Kenny "babyface" Edmunds (Kenny, if your reading this, gracie345 wants to have your baby). Regardless, people tend to remember the name. But as of yet, no one has ever made the mistake of thinking I was the eponymous babyface.

It's Tuesday afternoon. Do you know where your web developer is?

Not a week goes by where I don't get a call from some damsel in distress or some suit'n-tie in need of a fixer (re: Pulp Fiction’s Winston 'The Wolf' Wolfe).

The narrative goes as follows:

Exposition (Soundtrack: plaintive violin music - maybe an oboe)

There's a new restaurant in Los Angeles called Kogi whose use of the web gives a whole new twist on the concept of delivery. Kogi (kogibbq.com) has a unique menu combining Mexican / Korean foods. Their head chef, Roy Choi, is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America whose experience includes working in a number of four star restaurants. And did I mention Kogi operates out of a taco truck?

This is a pop quiz.

Go to your website.

Has anything changed since your last visit? Since last week? Last month? Has it been that long?

If you answered “not much has changed” or worse yet, “nothing”, then think about your business. Ask yourself what’s changed about your business since last month? Or last week? Or even, yesterday? Did you roll out a new product? Win over a big client? Add to your sales staff? Received an important award? Or has business slowed and you need to get more aggressive with your marketing?

Drupal, the open-source content management system that started in the student dorms at the University of Antwerp in 2000 has gathered a following of thousands of developers around the world in its brief lifetime.

From the Drupal site: Drupal is a free software package that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website.

After much fretting, sweating and procrastination BabyFace Software is now BabyFace Interactive with a new look and a new website (and a new blog!).

Is the site done? Well, no. But it'll never be done and it'll never be perfect and if I wait for either, it'll never be published.

I am reminded of the following quote:

“It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.” - W.E. Deming

And change we will, whether we like it or not.

Welcome to the new Babyface Interactive website. There are all sorts of new things to see. I'm especially proud of our portfolio. All projects are displayed dynamically, which means that you can get up-to-the-minute accuracy on all the information.
