I recently had the pleasure of ice skating in the courtyard of the aesthetically unique* PPG Place buildings. Only in the last three years have I begun donning skates, usually reserving my "attempts" for area ponds or stick time hours. My fiancee and I really wanted to enjoy the setting before the rink closed for the season, and not only did I not fall, but we had a great time.

The tie-in here? I've been working on launching a new PPG Place website for a little while now. Last year we took over the old site and implemented our custom Bamboo CMS. Happy with the back-end changes, we were approved for a complete re-design. Speaking from a programmer's perspective, I really think it's one of our strongest designs (thanks to the whole team - it was a group effort).

The new site is set to launch at the end of March, so please check www.ppgplace.com around then to see it! Or, check it out now for a before/after reference. And if you're in Pittsburgh, check out the rink next year!

Here I am, no doubt concentrating on staying upright:

* well, almost unique. I recently found this doppelganger.
