Educating the Client: Getting on the Internet
December 10, 2009Read moreMy first client, Mark Pensgen, has been working with me closely to help define the kind of questions he’s curious about. He’s an ideal test case: he’s starting a new financial planning service in his community, wants to get on the Internet with a very simple presence, and has a lot of questions.

After a bit of browsing, I came across an amazingly cheerful Boston food blog called The Hungry Mouse, which has a fabulously-detailed article on the best way to roast a duck. It’s written with true passion for ducky goodness, and so I gladly followed the instructions. My duck got a little burned, but otherwise it was quite edible if dry. Check out the Flickr Photo Set if you’d like to see how the roasting went, with pictures taken at each stage.
