Happy 2012. I hope you had a wonderful 2011 and that the new year has great things in store for you.

I'm pleased to announce some changes at Ed Dreistadt & Company. I'm now working in partnership with Brandware Public Relations here in Atlanta. This means a new office address (noted below), new phone number and many new capabilities.

Long story short, it didn't work.

I'm going to chalk up the paperless office as in the same league as the flying car I was promised in Popular Mechanics when I was a kid.

Cool idea, not going to happen.

My old HP 7850 printer has gone to its greater reward. Not sure what happened, but my computer is telling me that it can't really talk to it anymore.

And, you know what? I didn't run out to buy another one.

I send out 99.9% of my proposals as pdf files. Most of my business communication is by email or phone. All my checking and bill paying is done online.

Actually, the biggest use has been to print out documents on paper so I could reference them while doing work on something related on my desktop.

I've been lucky enough to get in a fair amount of travel this year, including both Washingtons...State back in August and DC just last week.

Both were a tremendous amount of fun and both were as different as they could be.

The visit to Washington State was all about the outdoors, with a stay at the Sol Duc Hot Springs resort in the Olympic National Forest.

I'm doing some long-overdue maintenance to my website and just updated my blog software.

Time to start fresh.

New posts to follow shortly.
