Facelift
We were happy to unveil the new look for the Fiesta Bowl site this week.
It is the product of a few slices of redPear working in concert with the great creative minds at the Fiesta Bowl, and we think it turned out pretty great.
Check it out, and be sure to follow some of their social accounts to stay up to date on all the exciting events they have planned this Fall.

Throwing Down
If you haven't been paying attention, Agency Throwdown has been rocking.
This last week, our friends at Forty and Taka Group faced off at Tempe Village Lanes.
Forty emerged victorious, but everybody had a good time.

Internal Memorandum
[From the desk of Isaiah Mustafa aka the Old Spice guy]
Hello ladies.. and gentlemen friends of the esteemed and prestigious office of redPear.
Over the last week, the tall accomplished developers and designers at redPear have been polishing their monocle smiles while building out applications for start ups and non-profits with nothing but their bare-hands.
Bare-hands.
For non-profits.
Important non-profits that fight for World Peace (c).
Did I mention bare-hands?
I realize that you're probably filled with excitement as you're reading this because let's be honest, how else would my voice --- my sweet, warm, deep and yet glistening voice --- running through your head manifest itself?
One moment, I need to finish up my bench press.
I'm now back. Where was I? Oh yes, that's right..
I shall now attempt to enumerate the amazing applications that we've launched recently.
Onlisted (www.onlisted.com) is an online services marketplace where users around the country can create and bid on each others services, in real time. It's like eBay, but diamonds.
The First Things First Regional Scholarships (www.azftfscholarships.org) regional portal allows care providers from around Arizona to electronically coordinate and track billing information. Important billing information. It also plays a sweet, sweet lullaby during the first five days of the month. I'm just kidding, that beautiful sound you're hearing is the sound of a mallet against my ab-xylophone.
Actually I'm not playing my ab-xylophone.
Or am I?
I believe these applications will make the world a better place, and I hope you enjoy using them as much as our ridiculously good-looking team has enjoyed creating them!
Swan dive.
- Izzy

Hear him out
This weekend ABC 15 published a piece comparing popular smart phone platforms and they asked redPear CTO Marc Chung for his Android endorsement.
We have people on all three platforms here at our Tempe web development shop, but Marc is among those of us with a soft spot for Android.
Check out his thoughts here.

Hello redPear friends!
I'm Lauren Tassiello and I'm the go-to-gal for our relationships with agencies. I work with marketing and advertising agencies in town to help them deliver the best web technology for their clients. You'll also see me having my hand in a new a fun event for Phoenix, AgencyCamp. On a seperate yet related note, you can find me around town getting grub at local restaurants, practicing yoga, and traveling. I'm a lover of development and recently started creating a personal and professional development program that empowers young people, something of which I am very excited for! = )

Feelin the Vibe...
Greetings,
As many of you know I am Tim Trainor and one of the newest additions to redPear! What am I going to be doing? I am so glad you asked! My job is two fold. Part of my role will be working with the infamous Brandon Willey (Perhaps you have heard of him) making his life less insane. I am told this is possible......I will give it my all! :) The other part of my role will be working with the amazingly talented Jana Knapp exploring and exploiting all of the beauty that Vyllij holds. We already have some good stuff cookin'!! So if you smell something awesome coming from the pinot room, thats just Jana and I making things happen!
A little about me......
Two things in life that I cherish are simply music and people. So feel free to give me itunes cards or buy me a round of any liquid of your choice! I wont mind. :)
Looking forward to the future!

It's getting crowded
This week we welcome three new members of the redPear team.
Sean Mellor and Lauren Tassiello will be developing business and agency relationships and Tim Trainor will be working with our Vyllij community as well as providing some internal support.
We're excited to have them around as they each have gifts and strengths that can make redPear awesome. We'll get them up on the site and introduced to y'all in the coming days.
Of course this means it's getting rather crowded, so please hit us up on Twitter if you're thinking of coworking. :)

Pros and Cons
With all the growth redPear has experienced lately, we've needed to quickly expand our customer service capabilities.
Outsourcing can be very cost-effective, but we're passionate about keeping things local.
That's why we've partnered with the Arizona Department of Corrections inmate labor program to to provide quality customer service to our clients without breaking the bank.
Don't worry, we'd never give your personal or business information to a violent offender; we're working only with men and women serving time for things like confidence scams, credit card fraud, forgery, etc.
We're excited about this new venture and hope you are too.
