In a search for a project management system that would help me to better inform my clients, keep them in constant contact and allow them to see exactly where the project is, as well as keep track of deadlines and files, I've found my solution: Basecamp.

It's built by 37 Signals who also make some great small business software, not all of it I need. It's a great system and really easy to use. It's making my client interaction and explaining the process of design and advertising much less nebulous for my clients, and helping to keep the project on task and schedule.

If you're interested to see how it works, become a client and get a free* demo.

As a continuation of my previous post, I just found out last night that I'm also going to Rome. I less found out, than decided to extend the trip with my friends. I can't pass up the chance to see the city that brought us pasta and tomato sauce and Ferrari.

Instead of coming back on Tuesday, I'm now flying with my friends to Rome from Ireland. I will now be back on Friday of next week. Color me excited!

I just found out yesterday I'm going to Dublin, Ireland. Yes, the birthplace and homeland of one of my favorite beers of all times, Guinness. It's all very last minute, but several of my friends have been planning this for a while now, and jealously, I've been quietly wanting to go. Well, as luck would have it, I ran into the friend who is planning the airfare at our friend Tim's party. Long story short, she made me an offer I couldn't refuse and a day and a conversation with my girlfriend later, I'm going to Dublin. The best part is we'll be flying first class for far less than it would cost to fly coach!

Consider this message an "I'll be out of the office" notice and a bragging/stoked post. I'm leaving this Thursday, the 15th, and I'll be back on Tuesday, the 20th. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and post them on here when I'm back.
