If you live in Phoenix you should come to MarKamp! It’s going to be awesome.

I have a really neat presentation called Marketing for Web Apps which is brand new and includes marketing insights which I have personally received (in the last 24 hrs) from the founders of Geni.com, JumpBox.com, Viddler.com, Tumblr.com, JotForm.com, HarvestApp.com, SmugMug.com, Ma.gnolia.com, BeanstalkApp.com, Wufoo.com and GetCashboard.com (and I am even waiting on a few more). Not to be missed!

In addition, Hamilton Wallace from Wallace Resources in Scottsdale will be presenting on the importance of getting your message right.

If you live in Phoenix, be sure to come!

We recently redesigned the web site for one of our clients, Danao Outdoor. They design, make and sell a wide selection of elegant outdoor furniture.

Tom here at Tornado did all of the Flash work, including building a custom Flash map to show their locations.

We’ve been working with a furniture design company for a few years now and recently they began running magazine ads in some design publications. Here is one of the ones we ran recently. It’s mostly photo but I thought it came out great.

You can see the products featured in the photo above on the Danao Outdoor web site, which we also designed.

We’ve been working on a number of side projects including lots of interesting content web sites. You might have noticed a thin bar at the very top of this page linking to another of our web sites. This is just the beginning in our effort to launch a network of web sites (all managed by us).

The network today includes the following sites:

Tornado will have a presence at SXSW this year. We’ve wanted to go for years but always been so busy with client work. This year, we’ve decided to go anyways! We’ve bought our tickets and everything.

So who’s going? Chris Tingom and Thomas Chapin. If you’re going to be there this year, and would like to meet up, just give us a shout. Thanks.

Check this photo out. It is the worlds oldest image of a tornado.

Yesterday we re launched The Consumer Healthcare Blog for one of our favorite clients. It’s a brand new design that we’re really proud of.

Hello BrainFuel readers:
