As some of you know there have been some big changes here at Indigio over the past few weeks.
Firstly, in June of 2008, Indigio turned 10. Indigio has evolved over the past 10 years expanding services from application development to include design, analytics, search engine marketing and interactive strategy. Most of all, Indigio is now known as one of the best interactive agencies in Colorado, the Rocky Mountain Region and even the country. Happy Birthday Indigio!
We have become such a strong company that on July 1, 2008 Indigio merged into Bridgeline Software, Inc., which will allow Indigio to continue to grow and prosper, while allowing Bridgeline to expand into the Rocky Mountain Region.

I have just returned from 8 days of vacation on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. I was there with my daughter as she was participating in the Far West Regional Soccer Tournament. Her team won the Colorado State Cup title and represented Colorado in the tournament in the Under 12 Girls division. We had a great time. She had fun playing soccer and she loved spending time at the beach. On a trip to the North Shore she had the opportunity to see lots of sea turtles literally swimming a foot in front of her. We also spent a fair share of time shopping in the local international market buying gifts for her brothers and her friends. And we found time to consume a couple of chocolate shakes along the way.
The only downside to the trip was my instant addiction to a local Hawaiian dish called loco moco. It is primarily responsible for the extra 7 pounds I brought back from Hawaii. The Loco Moco is a dish unique to Hawaiian cuisine. There are many variations, but the essential loco moco consists of white rice topped with a hamburger patty, a fried egg, and brown gravy. I believe I ate it every morning for breakfast except for one morning I chose to go with traditional bacon and eggs.
Now it is back to the gym where I will dream about loco moco as I try to undo the damage.

Fact: I get a gold star every time I use a pun in a title. Crazy.
But on a serious note, I will accept no more thank you cards, donations or statues for my actions today in defending Indigio against a certain, delicious invasion of donuts initiated by the malicious (yet benevolent) Ronnie Guidry. While I fully admit that my eating nearly half a box of donuts in eight hours is undeniably epic, and the fact that I can’t tell if William Shatner actually asked me to get coffee with him just a second ago or if it’s a sugar-hallucination, I would do so again without hesitation.
Keep that in mind if anyone else is planning any other sort of desert or pastry themed invasion, you know, tomorrow, perhaps with hostile cinnamon rolls or diabolical brownies.
Or dastardly lemon bars…

In July, our client, the Denver Botanic Gardens, holds a special annual event called the Birdhaus Bash. The event features birdhouses built by local artists and celebrities that are auctioned off to support Youth Education and Adult Tour Guide programs at the Gardens.
This year, 4 1/2 Indigians built birdhouses to the event. 4 1/2 you ask? Yes, 4 1/2. Birdhouses were donated by myself, Erin Quinn – Director of Sales, Wayne Rodgers – Client Services Coordinator and Mike Minton – Sr. Director of Technology. There are the 4. The 1/2 comes in from Brent Dilworth, who is the husband of Becki Dilworth – Vice President of Client Services. I figured since he is only related to Indigio through marriage, we should only count him as a 1/2, even though his birdhouse already received the most buzz and praise.
It was great fun building my birdhouse to donate to the event and I know Erin, Wayne, Mike & Brent would agree. I included a photo of our bird houses and if you would like to attend the event and buy one of these beauties or one of the other 100 donated, please check out the Gardens’ Web site.

Each month Indigians are encouraged to anonymously nominate fellow Indigians for our monthly Peer Award. This award is for recognizing employees’ contributions, building self-esteem, promoting teamwork and inspiring excellence at Indigio.
I am proud to announce two of our Engineers, Dana Costello and Ben Kaely took home the prize for May 2008. In the words of the two individuals who nominated Dana and Ben, here is why they deserve recognition:
I would like to nominate Dana for the work she did during delivery of Disaboom Job Profiles and Business listings projects…she put a lot of hours and effort to deliver it on time and in the best possible shape. I think they did a really good job.
Ben did a great job filling for Rob while he was on his trip. He was able to direct the Truck Team and do a major release without having any problems…Ben took all the challenges in stride and was able complete all his work at a quality level.
Congratulations to both Dana and Ben. They are great people both personally and professionally.
