Music and Freedom

Newsletter for July 4, 2014

The Declaration of Independence

The Genius of Jefferson’s Words

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…”

As a writer and appreciator of great philosophy, I am constantly amazed by these three dozen words which lead off the Declaration of Independence. In this succinct passage written 238 years ago, Thomas Jefferson summed up the essence of freedom which has not been articulated so beautifully or accurately since.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July, everyone!

“Freedom Song”
Some lyrics from a brand new, yet-to-be-recorded song by Sinclair Soul © 2014

Let the people be free, let the people be free
Let them bend no more knees, let them crow no more pleas
Let them swing from no trees
Let them build their own home, let them roll their own stone
Let the people be free

When the people are free, all the people are free
They may rock or may breed, they may talk or may screed
But they’ll feed their own needs
They will decide on their own how to set their own tone
Let the people be free

May the people are free, all the people are free
Whether they draw from the seas or they sail on the breeze
Or they talk to the trees
The world is their zone the construct their own throne,
Let the people be free

A Day of Reflection

As the unofficial start of the summer, Memorial Day is naturally a time of optimism and plan-making and is normally thought of as a day of family gatherings and cookouts. But the true intent of the day is one of solemn reflection and remembrance. On behalf of 33 Dimensions web design, have a happy, safe, and rewarding Memorial Day 2014, and let’s never forget the heroes of days and years passed.

Springtime

Newsletter for April 30, 2014

Springtime sceneThese Are Great Days for Web Design

As sure as these crazy April showers will soon bring the May flowers, there is good reason to be optimistic about the near future in the web design business. This may be the best time ever to be a web designer. Just consider this fact, in just a little over a decade, we’ve gone from 216 “web safe” colors to the over 16 million in the hexadecimal spectrum.

Beyond this, we also now have web-based fonts, transparency, blending, and mainstream animations along with ever-evolving tools and frameworks based on HTML5 and CSS3, which has just come of age within the past few years. What this all means is richer, more attractive, and better functioning websites at lower development and maintenance costs.

Thank you all for your support and we look forward to the future!

Five Years and Counting

What a Wild and Wonderful Ride It Has Been

Five years ago today I came up with the crazy name for this enterprise, based on that day’s date (3/3) along with my interest in string theory and a desire to highlight the many “dimensions” of the professional service I had to offer.

Working with small businesses, non-profit organizations, artists, and individual entrepreneurs has been extremely rewarding as this business has steadily grown over the past half decade, with these first few months of 2014 being the peak of business volume. Of course, running a business is never easy and the climate sometimes gets unpredictable. We’ve faced our share of challenges and frankly, stared down extinction more times than I would’ve liked. But we did persevere through the rough times and we are stronger because of it.

As we complete our 5th year as a business, I am proud to announce that 33 Dimensions is able to offer more high-quality services, including specialized website re-design, online marketing, and multimedia services, than ever before.

Thank you all for your support and here’s to the next five years!
