I received my road bike this Friday in what I found to be an amazingly quick time. It took five days total from me ordering it to it showing up at my door. There were two days involved in processing the order and having it built. The last three days were all for shipping. Since it was shipped from Colorado I found the three day time to be really quick. FedEx must know their logistics very well. When I compare getting a bike from Colorado in three days to getting a movie from Amazon from places closer than Colorado in 2 weeks, it is quite a difference that doesn’t make too much sense to me. I didn’t have to pay shipping on either, but the heavier one that was farther away won the race to the door. I won’t look too much into it and I’ll just be glad that it’s here and I get to use it now.

After riding it on an indoor trainer for a while I shortly noticed that it was a big pain in my butt, literally. The seat and body position is different and would take a little getting used to. I was sore for a day, but got over it quickly and it felt natural just two days later. I rode it around the park and didn’t feel it at all. It was fast and fun. I just wish the paths were smoother at this park and there were less people to dodge. Regardless, it was an enjoyable experience and I can’t wait to do it again. On the negative side, I feel a lot slower when I’m running now.

Shipping speed is all a matter of logistics and I suppose is also a bit of how much you are willing to pay to get something to you fast. The thought that you can get overnight shipping on anything if you pay extra is crazy. I could order something in Colorado and it could travel thousands of miles and get to me within a mere 24 hours. That’s amazing! Thanks modern technology! At DDA we deal with the modern technologies of our time all the time. It may be limited to the digital realm, but there are plenty of things that are offered in that realm alone. Some that we deal with here alone are 3D animation, video editing, digital photography, advanced programming, custom web design, and more. So give us a call or visit and see what we can do for you.

When I first started working professionally, I found it exciting to be part of the trade show circuit. Well, let me clarify, in the beginning that is. Once you’ve worked a few shows, it gets really tiring. You stand for hours on end, and even if you are enthused by the product or service you are sellling, it is hard to stay motivated for a 4-5 day stint. And some of the hardest hours are those where you have to set up and break down a booth.

Today, many smart companies have ventured into virtual booths, and if you do your homework and pick the right advertising and marketing company to help you transition from physical space to virtual space, you can reap rich rewards in terms of money saved and hours put to better use than standing and smiling endlessly at passersby.

DDA is such a company. Come to us with your wish list. We will get our different teams involved, those who design, those who shoot and edit video, and a marketing team to make sure your message is heard loud and clear. There are many ways to enhance your service and product that do not require the huge budgets that are necessary at trade shows, and in the  digital world our designers and programmers can add value you never though possible. So for your next trade show, talk to us. You will be rewarded, I promise.

architecture: the complex or carefully designed structure of something. Structure, construction, organization, layout, design, and build. These are the same building stones that are part of every project here at DDA. To create any steady, stable website or advertising campaign, we do not skimp or cheat. The foundation must be strong enough to handle the full load, functional for every day life, and also be aesthetically pleasing and eye-catching to be a successful endeavor. Leave out one of these important elements, and you are left with a flimsy, flash-in-the-pan that will not withstand the test of time and weather. Life is always in motion, moving ever forward, and we must create with the ability to accommodate present needs and enough foresight to handle future possibilities. DDA does this everyday, in every phase of construction, adding elements like 3d medical animations, animated medical videos, medical education video, on-location photography, Flash programming, medical IT services, medical content writing, custom medical illustrations, search engine optimization, medical training solutions, interactive video, virtual medical simulations, and if you want, we can make them iPad and iPhone compatible. DDA’s strength is in it’s architecture - everyday.
