When you see spectacular photos on the web, don’t you sometimes ache to see them BIG? I do.
We finally decided to do something about it and extend our Journal style so that if you have a big monitor and widen your browser, You. Get. Awesomeness.
I picked shots that I longed to see bigger, and here [...]
Imagine having a company credit card burning a hole in your pocket, a lot of BIG blank walls crying out for photos, and 300 million to choose from. :-)
I never knew I could love shopping so much.
I bought some 72-inch prints, a 5×10 foot print, and we’re now making one that’s 72×180 inches.
I took some [...]
The last people you’d expect to read a book about diet would be thin, Coke-drinking, bacon and burger-loving young geeks.
But The China Study rocked the house, getting half of SmugMug’s 25 people and 3-dozen of our dearest friends to completely change what we eat. I didn’t dare blog about it for a year because [...]
The most fun I ever had as a parent was taking Don and a vanload of his friends to The Empire Strikes Back when it opened.
They thought we were going to a Disney movie. They thought Don’s parents were wimping out on Empire because they couldn’t handle it.
When the music started and the curtains [...]
How many photos from business magazines can you remember? Execs fuss over their ties, their hair…and their photos are forgotten in a sea of sameness.
Not this one:
I heard Jeff Bezos (Amazon’s CEO) say, “The only real problem in life is to be ignored.” I love this shot of Ahnold because it’s different. [...]
My heroes are entrepreneurs. I went to work for NeXT years ago because Steve Jobs was CEO and I wanted to live what I’d read in the books.
What could be more exciting than building Cold Stone (yum!) from scratch?
Never did I imagine that our story would end up alongside the stories of my heroes [...]
Research firms like InfoTrends say the #1 thing that influences consumer choice of photo sharing sites is whether they’re free. Makes sense.
But a curious thing happened during the last few years: while impressive free sites from great companies like Sony, Canon, Microsoft, Epson, & Adobe lost momentum or closed, sites like Flickr, SmugMug and [...]
SmugMug’s mantra for our help desk was shamelessly stolen from Mark Twain, who wrote: “Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”
We do our best to astonish our customers by answering help email in minutes.
We do it by hiring people who know and love SmugMug and its customers. [...]
That much-read and hilarious blog of Silicon Valley, Valleywag, somehow put me in a hottie contest against Philip Rosedale, who’s very popular and actually maybe a little bit hot.
But you should vote for me anyway! If I make it past this round of voting, they’re threatening to use a really scandalous photo in the [...]
Oh. My. Gosh. If you haven’t tried Dan’s Chocolates, you haven’t tasted True Decadence.
A wonderful customer suprised us with a Dan’s box with this message:
You can send a photo on the box top, so they lifted our photo from the Aboutus page:
A note from Dan warns of conspicuous consumption. It happened [...]
