Double The Fun

In the 1 Uppers I frequently switch between my stratocaster and my Danelectro baritone guitar. Our set lists seem to always be perfectly arranged to maximize the number of times I have to switch After a recent gig at the newly opened Royal Room, I was lamenting the inconvenience of the repeated switching. I said [...]

Thoughts On The 12/17 1 Uppers Performance

On Saturday 12/17 the 1 Uppers performed at The Royal Room, a new venue recently opened in Columbia City. It’s a very music-friendly room with excellent sight lines and a great sound system. Local jazz keyboardist Wayne Horvitz is one of the founders of the club, and he deliberately established it with musicians in mind. [...]

Thoughts On The 12/16 1 Uppers Performance

On Friday 12/16 the 1 Uppers performed at Darrell’s Tavern in Shoreline. We’ve played there before and it’s always a great time. The crowd there is very supportive of live music, and they seem to appreciate just about every possible style. We often are part of a country-themed night there, and it seems to bring [...]

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
* Logical Layout and Work Flow
* 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.
