Conservatory for Coffee, Tea, and Cocoa

By jelewis8 ⋅ January 28, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Fringe Design was contracted by this popular family-owned coffee and tea spot in downtown Culver City to redesign the shop’s website and offer the ability to place bulk orders online. Governed by a sense of place and time, the new design incorporates the exotic with an Americana flavour that invites and welcomes visitors–much like the [...]

Seven Steps To Total Search Engine Domination – Introduction

By jelewis8 ⋅ September 20, 2007 ⋅ 4 comments

For those of you who aren’t aware, I work as an SEO (Search Engine Optimizer) for a breast augmentation internet marketing firm in Southern California, Los Angeles (specifically Culver City) called BreastImplants411.com. It’s good work, mostly fun. I work in an office full of guys, which makes looking at women’s breasts quite a bit less [...]

Credit Fraud

By jelewis8 ⋅ June 13, 2006 ⋅ 2 comments

I had my first experience with credit card fraud this morning. Some tricky prankster charged over $1300 to my American Express account in a Las Vegas leather shop on Saturday, just over two hours after I spent just over $100 on groceries at Ralphs in Culver City. It may not seem like a frightening thing [...]

I’m actually going to decorate for Christmas this year. And by “I’m”, I really mean we, and by “we” I really mean Joe. A couple of strings of white lights from the $.99 store (yes, we really have one, as well as a $.48 store…and a Sheetz), maybe a tiny electric tree that spins on [...]

The Teeming Streets

By jelewis8 ⋅ September 29, 2005 ⋅ 4 comments

One problem with LA is the traffic never really stops, it just subsides. It goes in patterns, waves, and occasionally spurts. But never is there a complete emptiness of the streets. Even in Culver City, where life moves pretty slowly compared to the downtown and Westwood areas, Washington Boulevard is a never-ending stream of workers [...]

Regional Division of Hell

By jelewis8 ⋅ September 8, 2005 ⋅ 3 comments

I spent part of the morning at one of the regional branch offices of Hell, which of course was incorporated sometime back in the early 80’s. Well, technically, it was a separate company owned by Hell. No, not the airport. Yes, I’m referring to the DMV, or Devil’s Motor Vendor, voted 2nd Most Likely Place [...]

Mr. Slick’s

By jelewis8 ⋅ August 31, 2005 ⋅ 4 comments

Is there any reason you can think of to name your automobile repair shop Mr. Slick’s? Neither can I.
And yet a place right here in Culver City exists with that very name. And apparently is doing quite well, based on the number of referrals to the place I’ve heard since arriving. I myself have not [...]
