Commuting and Parking
Since beginning my new job in August, I’ve been commuting downtown by bus every day. The commuting itself is convenient and simple, provided I catch one of the two express buses. But parking at the transit center is inceasingly challenging. My local transit center is undergoing a substantial renovation and relocation; once complete in mid-2009, the entire [...]

Warr Fare
I’m still on the hunt for a Warr Guitar. The more that I play my five-string bass with the Preons, the more I realize that I need a broader range tapping instrument. I’ve done some looking around for a used Warr Guitar and they just don’t seem to come up for sale nearly often enough. [...]

Elder Scrolls : Oblivion
Crikey. I’m hooked on Elder Scrolls : Oblivion for my XBOX 360. I’ve been playing just long enough to realize how big this game actually is… my sad little character is frequently pincushioned with arrows, but I’m learning how to run away (Monty Python style). So far I’ve scratched the surface. This is the “game [...]

thinkasaurus territory

It's a big world. Rather than trying to be everything and everywhere, our approach is remain agile within our chosen territory.

all projects benefit from our end-to-end strategic management

* Consultation
* Project Management
* Technical Documentation
* Post-Deployment Analysis

.........................................................................................................

our three tier approach

The thinkasaurus philosophy is to separate project requirements into three distinct areas of activity.

(1) information: the data layer

We excel at organizing information. We deliver highly normalized information architecture as part of out project management services.

(2) media: the presentation layer

Custom media projects are our specialty. We do in-house music composition, recording, photography, videography, and post-production.

(3) technology: the business logic layer

We are adept at technology. We produce custom software, develop database applications, and can configure / integrate your existing technology.

projects may comprise some or all of these elements

Each solution is unique and is designed to meet project requirements.

advantages of this three tier approach

Maintenance

Changes to one aspect of your project need not affect the others. It becomes much easier to determine where to modify the existing solution, and how to manage the update process.

Want to modify the user interface?
Update the graphics, or build an alternate interface for text-only, mobile device-optimized or XML delivery.

Reusability

In developing your solution, we will create reusable objects and functionality. With centralized code and functions, your solution becomes more compact and easier to leverage in response to changes in your environment.

Need to migrate to a massively optimized database?
Switch between MySQL / SQL / Oracle, leaving your functional code and presentation interface undisturbed.

Extensibility

Your solution can evolve as your needs change.

Need additional functionality?
Code can be created and modified, adapting to changing needs.
