After years of operating within the confines of Kosada's proprietary content management system, Davidson Theatre migrates to Drupal.

Robert led the project that revitalized Davidson Theatre's site. Drupal has become Kosada's CMS of choice because of it's versatility and the surplus of developers creating new modules daily. By using the Drupal CMS, Kosada is also able to offer self-managed sites to their clients - which wasn't possible before. Now Davidson Theatre can update their site content whenever they need on their own.

Happy Birthday to me... Happy Birthday to me...

In celebration of my birthday this year, I bought a truck. I've worked hard, I decided to reward myself. Though additional debt and the added gas consumption hardly seems like a "reward", driving around the vehical I've wanted for years has it's moments. Can't wait for the first rain, or better, the first snow. This is going to be soo much fun! As Brad Paisley says, "I can hardly wait to get a little mud on the tires."
