Skyaak re-birth-ing

Monday, December 29th, 2008

As mentioned earlier, we are now in the home stretch in the process to overhaul skyaak.com.

People still tell me that it’s a good-looking site,

but everyone around here believes it’s time for an extreme makeover.

Lest I get convicted for IP theft, please let me make it clear from the outset that the artwork on the left is of unknown origin, other than I found it at today’s Google search engine.

Skyaak Skinny
