Day 10: That's All She Wrote.
That last day feeling. Everyone knows it. The last day of Mardi Gras. The last day in Cabo. The last day of Spring Break. Day 10 is that day. You heard it here first, if you mix Mardi Gras, Cabo, and any other incredible spring break vacation together, you get the 10-Day Panlizr Experience (as long as you add not sleeping, junk food, HTML, a smelly room, and a really awesome blogger).
But that...
Day 9: Intergalactic Planetary, Planetary...
At approximately 7:23 Tuesday night, the US Space Station, the Space Shuttle Discovery, and the interweb sensation Panelizr were all visible in space. This once in a lifetime phenomenon lasted only three minutes before the entire world was once again deprived of this miracle. Fortunately, this blogger not only captured a photo (below), but also caught some video footage (to follow) of the Panelizr...
Day 8: When a Boy Becomes a Man.
Having a child can’t be easy. I wouldn’t know but I’m sure that if it were to compare to anything in this world, it would be making a Panelizr.
A little over three weeks ago, the idea of Panelizr came up. You always talk about making a Panelizr. It’s something you want- but something you put off until you’re at a point in your life when you’re ready to buckle...
Day 7: May the Force be with You.
As I was leaving school on Saturday, you can imagine how excited I was to see “soft lunch” on the Panelizr schedule for Sunday. What exactly is a “soft lunch?” Maybe soft tacos? Soft shell crabs? Picnic lunch where we all sit on pillows? My mind wandered all Saturday night and well into Sunday morning.
However, come Sunday’s meeting time at 3pm, a harsh reality set...
Day 5 and 6: Everybody's Working for the Weekend.
It would be nice if Panelizr was the only thing in our lives. However, this is not the case. Sleeping was the first thing to go. Then eating. And finally, any semblance of a social life. Realizing this, the project managers took the shackles off our ankles and let us out into the real world for the weekend. No scheduled meetings. No periodic beatings. No more AMPs for Schuyler “The...
Day 4: This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of...
Jake “son of a” Mitchell is a dead man.
There’s a good reason why towns only have one sheriff. Same reasoning that countries only have one dictator and why the Panlizr team only has one videographer. You know the old phrase, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Well that’s the diet version of “if you have a super awesome video guy with a sweet...

Day 3: We Will Break Bread Together.
When the going gets tough, buy snacks. Lots of snacks. Snacks that range from really unhealthy to out-of-control, clog my arteries unhealthy. When they start to run low- buy pizza. Lots of pizza. Make sure that the butter garlic sauce is included and if you find a way to deep-fry it, bonus points. Finally, if you still need more, get the intern (Scott Ackerman- Technologist at CP&B) to go get...
Day 2: Here we go.
Yesterday we were all on the same team. Today is a new day.
I wandered into Starbuck’s at about noon to find the development ”team” eating lunch/talking in 0s and 1s. We didn’t have our first meeting of the day until 1:30 so I knew something was up. No one likes overachievers. I decided to watch from afar to make sure that no bystanders would accidentally associate me with...
Day 1: In the beginning...
There is a rumor out there that the Creative Technologists at VCU Brandcenter are actually robots. I’ve argued this with countless people, showing them my very human characteristics, but I always end up losing when I have to go and charge my battery.
Two weeks ago the humans from Fahrenheit Technology, Tumblr, and the VCU Brandcenter came to us and asked us to come up with something for...
