This month's wallpaper is an electric valentine. I was inspired by my brother-in-law who owns a sign repair service. He was using corel draw to create neon sign mock-ups for clients, until I showed him how to use photoshop. Since then I've been trying to recreate the neon sign look and this just happened to be the perfect project for it.
This wallpaper is dedicated to my valentine, Sarah.

A mentor once told me that all of my ideas about work culture were pointless unless I had the numbers to back them up. He went on to emphasize again what most business owners and leaders trumpet -- the best definition of success is in the numbers. I agreed with him, of course. I still do. But I remember asking him: what does success look like to you?

Every few months, we have a Clockwork game night. These are not formally planned events. We play board games and eat fancy pizza. Sometimes people play Rock Band or other cooperative video games, but it's mostly about the tabletop action. Continue Reading | Commentsposted on 1/3/12 by Eric Hanson
Happy Birthday, Clockwork! Ten years ago, Clockwork opened its doors and we've been defining the digital agency ever since.
This month's wallpaper celebrates ten years with the "peg-a-corn," a mystical beast that's grown into a sort of mascot. A unique blend of a unicorn and pegasus, it's one of a kind. Just like Clockwork.
Happy New Year! Stay tuned for more ten-year anniversary fun throughout 2012.

As a Clockworker, I'm consistently looking for ways to become a better tester, improve my programming skill set and find ways to do my job more efficiently. While life as a software tester at Clockwork is full of challenges and surprises, I found a particular part of my responsibilities tedious: Test Plan Entry.
Prior to launching the testing phase of a project, we enter test plans into TestLink, an open-source project. TestLink allows us to track test plan execution, and for the most part, it works well. However, entering test cases manually into TestLink can be time consuming.
A self-challenge was established: Find a way to speed up test plan entry, and level up my novice programming skills.

There's no legal or ethical protocol for software developers or testers to report vulnerabilities or issues found on websites or within software that they don't have backend access to.
So what should we do when we find something on a website that creates a security risk?

Hai-ya! A code ninja has produced a snow ninja for December’s wallpaper installation. If you are running OSX, download the Desktop Sequence Pack, set your desktop to change the picture at your desired interval and let it snow!
Happy holidays from your friends at Clockwork.

This month's wallpaper was inspired by the release of the new Twilight Saga film, Breaking Dawn: Part I, coming out on November 18th. (OMG, you guys! Edward and Bella are TOTALLY GETTING MARRIED!)
Along with the film's release, we'll also soon unveil EdwardMe -- a Lab Day project that started in November 2010 -- where you can add some sparkly vampire hotness to your favorite guy.

Last year for Halloween we dressed up as Foursquare badges. This year we created a spreadsheet and Clockworkers signed up to be their favorite internet memes. Check out the results!

We're constantly talking to each other about what's new: a project we're working on, a new site we're obsessed with, or some other geekery. We figured, why not share those conversations with you?
Welcome to our collective mind.
