Happy Holidays: SWA Launches Holiday Theme on BlogSouthwest.com

With the recent news of SWA making a huge purchase of the new Boeing 737MAX8, it is an early Christmas for everyone within the Southwest Airlines family. They will now operate the most fuel efficient, lowest cost to maintain airplanes in the industry.

So, it only makes sense that we filled their Nuts about Southwest Blog with some Holiday cheer. This year we went with a “culinary treats” theme during the day, featuring a gingerbread house with gingerbread men all covered in snow. Colored lights adorn the blog at night turning it into a Holiday light show...

Gobble Up the Goodness

Gobble Up the Goodness

Another Turkey Day. Another chance to give thanks to all our great clients, great luck, great experiences, and great friends. Where would we be without them?

For us, Thanksgiving is so important not because of the turkey or potatoes or pies – it’s the chance to enjoy the Moment – a chance to forget the worries and woes for just a second or two, and breathe in all the goodness that we can so easily forget is all around us...

Thank You: Veterans Day 2011

Android Ice Cream Sandwich UI Study: Don’t let your users melt away.
The Set Up

Google’s new operating system, code named Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) promises to do many things in the realm of application development. Developers are rejoicing at the ability to develop one application that will work on both tablets and smart phones. Users can’t wait for the boost in phone performance and sleek new interface features. Electronics manufacturers and Cellular service providers are waiting with baited breath to finally be able to support an operating system that has a defined and scheduled release pattern...

RD2 Version 5

Nov 9 2011

Eight years ago we launched our first website. Now, we’ve finally released our latest website that we internally call “V5.” We never really have hated any of the websites we’ve had as a company, but our last one was like a set of clothes we had worn for too many days in a row. It was too dark and too dreary relative to who we are today. Since V4, we had quite a number of portfolio pieces to celebrate and lots and lots of news that has happened through the years. Redoing your own website, especially when that’s what you do, is never an easy task. In our company we have high expectations because of the different things we have learned to apply for our partners...

Arigatou Gozaimasu!

Arigatou Gozaimasu!

RD2 is no stranger to producing innovative tools that exceed the wildest client expectations. We are also no stranger to receiving overwhelming praise (and even the occasional squeal of glee) from our clients. Yet we were shocked, flattered, and even dumbstruck when we found out that the Asian Film Festival of Dallas had nominated us for the North Texas Business for Culture and the Arts (NTBCA) Obelisk Award, celebrating and honoring businesses and business leaders in North Texas whose support makes a significant impact on the region’s arts and cultural growth...

RD2 Announces #KnowFair Winners!

Oct 31 2011

It’s finally official. After countless petitions for recounts (Team Hen insisted that the ballot was confusing), we have a winner of the First Annual RD2 Know Fair! State Fair Competition: Team Hog! Believe it or not, the winner was decided by just one vote! While we all had fun, don’t fool yourself into thinking that plans for redemption haven’t already begun brewing (or frying?). Winners will receive the following prizes: The ability to gloat for one year, one trophy to share, and some “congratulatory” brew...
