1. New Service: Technical Writing

Do you ever say to yourself, "I'm a programmer, not a writer!"

Well, if you do, you need help! And that's where we come in. Not only is Hsuan a top-notch copywriter, he's a veteran technical writer. He has written (or "authored" as the tech geeks call it) Windows help systems and user manuals for Ameritech, First Chicago, and Catbird Networks. See some samples in his portfolio.

Learn more about our technical writing services. And when your product/service is almost finished, we can dish out some snazzy marketing to complete the sale!

Lost that recipe for Bubble Tea? That's OK, it no longer trendy. But if you still crave it and other recipes, visit our recipes archive.

2. Case Study: New Web Site Helps the Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce Fulfill Business/Community Responsibilities

The Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce's mission is to be a valuable business and community resource for the Lincoln Park neighborhood in Chicago. The organization's Web site, however, did not reflect this role. The Web site lacked content that the Lincoln Park business and residential communities could turn to for help, answers, and information.

Learn how Jumping Bean helped make the Chamber Web site an even more valuable business and community resource.

3. Recipe: Chocotini

The passing of The Tiny Lounge for the sake of progress (the El expansion), was cause for near mutiny for many Chicagoans. The Tiny was a beautiful bar with large, semi-circle booths that made schmoozing with pals and gals a delight.

Although this recipe is not quite as good as the Tiny's signature Chocotini (not to be confused with the Lycheetini, Appletini, or Cheetotini), it does come close.

Ingredients:

30g chocolate
ice cubes
1 oz vodka
1 oz Godiva Chocolate liqueur
Half & Half
