It's important to find some time to focus on yourself, look at your brand, think about how well you're telling your story.
We did that at POP. We have a new website as a result.
A great many people worked vigorously to make this happen and I thank them for their extraordinary efforts.

... and ActionscriptAPIs
ActionScriptAPIs is an up to date resource tracking AS3 and AS2 application programming interfaces for Flash/Flex/AIR designers and programmers... and it's mine. I've been wanting to set this up for a while and thanks to Godaddy, Tumblr and a few spare hours another tiny site is born.
We launched the complete Brothers in Arms - Hell's Highway site for Ubisoft and Gearbox a few days ago and the response has been extremely positive. The team at POP focused on creating a rich and deep experience that conveys a reverence for the actual event BIA-HH is based on, 1944's Operation Market Garden.
One special section to note is the Timeline; a piece of premium content you don't typically see in a gaming site. Our Operation Market Garden Timeline covers each day of the operation with detailed descriptions, images from John Antal's book, maps, and exclusive historical video.
