Effective January 1, 2010, I will no longer charge an hourly rate for graphic or website design unless you specifically request it. Clients desiring work to be done in these two areas will, after initial consultation(s) with me, be quoted a flat fee for which I will deliver a finished product. This does not affect anything I'm currently working on that was undertaken at an hourly rate.

By my quoting you a flat rate on these type of projects, which are often very complex and can stretch over days or weeks, you will know up front what the final cost to you will be and can plan your budget accordingly. It also frees me from the pressure of trying to conform to a fixed number of hours to complete a project, and allows me to focus on delivering an outstanding product to you.

Computer repair, troubleshooting, and related services will continue to be billed at my usual rate of $30 per hour.

We at ERA Advantage Realty were shocked and saddened to learn that Jennifer Prinzbach, a longtime agent with the company and a great friend to all of us, had passed away suddenly on Friday, November 21. Barely past the 60-year mark, Jenny was always the picture of health and vitality – she exercised regularly and saw her doctor often.

I saw her last on Thursday – she was in the office doing some paperwork, and we chatted as usual about the business and what was going on in our personal lives.

She didn’t answer phone calls or emails Friday afternoon – she had said she was feeling a little under the weather and would stay home to rest, and maybe do some work from her home office.

Her daughter became concerned and drove to her house Saturday morning. She found Jenny upstairs. At this point the authorities are telling us it looks as if she died from natural causes.

Everyone is in a state of grief – the business goes on as usual but it’s hard to work under these circumstances. It’s eerie… we use Yahoo Messenger at all three offices to keep in contact, and everyone on the staff has an account. Jenny is still showing up as being online; no one has shut her computer down yet.

If you knew Jenny in a professional or personal capacity, please think about dropping by Seaver Funeral Home in Princeton on Wednesday between 4 and 6 pm to pay your respects and offer your condolences to her family.

I, for one, will surely miss her. She was a little eccentric and a lot crazy; truly one of a kind.

Time to revive somewhat of a more business-oriented presence on here. I’ll still be blogging from time to time, but I’m going to focus more on all the fun things I do for extra money. (All of them legal, BTW)
