Jim Interviewed On Justin Taylor’s Blog

Clover has been a proud sponsor of Justin Taylor’s blog for a while now, and after hearing a little of Clover’s story decided to interview me on his blog. You can check out the interview here.

We are also planning on doing an iPad giveaway through his site sometime early next week, so stay tuned for that.

Mondo + Catalyst = Awkward Photos

If you’ve been to any conferences Clover has sponsored, you’ve probably met some of our people representing us at our booth. We’ve got a great team of people who rep us all over the country- some on staff, and some volunteer.

If you had a chance to go to Catalyst West Coast a couple of weeks ago, you might have run into our friend, Mondo Scott. Mondo is the Student Life Pastor at Cornerstone Church in Moorpark (and Clover user), and graciously accepted the invitation to represent us at Catalyst. Read More…

25 High-Quality Free Fonts – from Smashing

I normally don’t advocate downloading and using free fonts… They are typically a little off, cheap-looking, or way, way, way over used. Smashing Magazine just posted a list of “25 New High Quality Free Fonts“. A few of them are decent, and if you are a little broke in the design department, might be worth picking up and adding to your collection.

Be careful with free fonts, though… Especially if you’re  a designer. As with most things in life, you typically pay for what you get.

If you are looking for a very tangible way to help the situation over there, let me encourage you to come along side Compassion International’s efforts to provide vital food and water to families in Haiti.

Update: Amazon S3 is up!

Hey Guys,

Well that was fast. We have been doing some testing and everything Clover related is now up and running. It appears as though this was also affecting many other companies and organizations that use Amazon S3 as well. Good to see that the Internet is working again!

Have a Merry Christmas.

Amazon S3 is down…

Hey Guys,

We have just been informed that the Amazon S3 (one of the technologies that Clover uses) is experiencing some problems currently. Therefore, some of your Clover sites may not be working as of now. It is 5:30 PT here. You can follow our Tweets for live updates on the issue. Our Twitter feed is HERE.
