When starting a business, life becomes a bit of a rollercoaster ride. You can be sure to expect highs like you’ve never felt, expect lows like you’ve never felt, and those feelings you can be sure will occur all in a span of 24 hours.  There is no room for doubt, and trust me, when […]

This past Labor Day weekend, the Rhyme & Reason Design team descended upon Gainesville, FL to celebrate the start of Gator football, conduct a client meeting and toast each other for our recent website successes.  As celebrations go, this one was top notch.  The merriment began under an orange and blue tent on UF’s sprawling […]

“Who do you know?” is a phrase often used by networking gurus and savvy business people in hopes of generating business from pre-existing contacts. Seeing as I am not afraid to eavesdrop in coffee shops to generate business, asking pre-existing contacts to introduce me to someone in their phone file seems almost like cheating. However, […]

Time: 4AM Subject: We regret to inform you we have ground our last coffee bean I was contemplating having my eyes checked except I already wear glasses, so I knew what I read was indeed true.

First of all, I’d like to say thank you to all of our faithful followers who read my most recent blog posting.

I’m comparing the number of outlets, the caffeine content of a medium iced coffee and wifi signal strength. Some might say that I just […]

Coffee shops were always too hip for me, unlike my college roommates who contemplated life and siphoned the murky liquid through their veins on a regular basis, I would get stage fright when the barista would ask for my order.  I was pretty sure coffee shop naivety was something I could sustain my whole life, […]

As of late, coffee shops have become the new golf courses for signing contracts and generating business.  The right shop complete with comfy couches and inviting accents can allow for the same relaxed environment and easy-going conversation of the fairway, without the added cost of the membership fee and the 6am tee time.   Much like […]

Rounding out the Rhyme & Reason Design month of travel was my vacation to Luquillo Beach, Puerto Rico. My compadres and I spent a week in a rented condo on the edge of a gold sand beach dotted with locals sipping Medalla Light. From a personal standing point, the vacation was everything we could have […]
