Some things in life are certain: death, taxes, and internet server malfunctions. The Sundog Media team works hard to avoid internet disasters, but they will happen. Last month we had a doozy of a problem that affected multiple websites and was out of our immediate control. It is in these crises that integrity and teamwork…
A friend of mine likes to say, “Be careful how you define success”, with the idea that you may one day look back and realize you have been pursuing the wrong goals.

The neighborhood you choose often determines your level of security. Sundog Media utilizes dedicated, high-quality…
As the saying goes “the cobbler’s children have no shoes”, and it has been well over two years since we’ve had a fresh website. We’ve been kept busy designing and building sites for our amazing customers. We are proud to announce our new website and invite you to have a look around. Please let us know if you see…
I got to thinking the other day about the chair from which I am writing this post. I first sat in this chair at the tail-end of my 20’s (for you math folks, I just gave away may age). It was a super expensive chair on sale from Arctic Office Supplies: a great deal, but it still…
