Baptist Joint Committee
Recently we launched a new website for the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty. Based in Washington DC, the organization works to preserve religious freedom across our nation. The site features several videos (under the "watch" tab) that help explain the organization's work. We worked to design a homepage that would highlight the many types of information arising from their efforts, including news stories, blog entries, and information about church and state issues. Near the bottom of the homepage, several icons lead to social networking sites, including Facebook, where people can interact with the staff and key issues. We handled web design, programming, photography and video production. Click here to check out the new site.

Our Work

close

baptiststandard"The Brainstorm Lab has done a tremendous job in developing our new website and helping us continually improve it. We're thrilled with the work they've done.

Here are the best parts:

1. They're smart. Maybe that doesn't stand out to you, because lots of IT folks are smart. But it gets better. ...
2. They listen. Instead of fake-listening and then doing whatever they want with a site, they actually listen and give clients what they want. And better still ...
3. They speak plain English. This will be a shock to most people who have hired IT consulting, but these guys actually explain what they intend to do and how it will work in words non-techies can understand. What a relief. What a pleasure."

lightbulbconeIdea People

We're idea people ("brainstorm lab... get it?"), and that means ideas tend to pop up while we work on projects. Sometimes it's a new or better way to do something, sometimes it's a new feature that will help reach more people, and sometimes it's an idea for how you can make more money. So if you work with The Brainstorm Lab, don't be surprised if we start tossing additional ideas your way.

Social Networking

There's a lot of buzz about social networking (Facebook, Twitter, etc) these days, and it's true that a lot of companies and organizations are using the services to connect with their audience. We understand how social networking works, and can help you develop a sound strategy for building a presence there.

Media Forms

The best communications approaches use a wise mixture of tools to share a message. Because we can develop websites, produce video, design printed materials and packaging, write content and do photography, we can help you create a message that uses the best tools to get your message to the right people.

Your Password 8L0W5. Tighten up!
Written by Mark Strozier   

Lock imageIn this month's Inc. Magazine there was an interesting article concerning the use of passwords and password security. Up until recently I've been blindly using a couple of passwords for numerous sites and not thinking much about online security. I would use simple terms that I could remember, and the terms usually either related to bodily functions that I find funny or a combo of self-depricating insults that I thought would be too embarrasing to share, therefore I would keep them securely to myself. Then I read this paragraph and was taken back by the tools now available for someone who wants to get into your online account...

"Many people use very simple passwords: Two of the most commonly used are password and password1. Others tend to choose easy-to-remember words or dates. These weak passwords are no match for a dictionary attack, say security experts. Automated password-cracking tools can check more than a million password variations in 28 hours. Passwords composed of random strings of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and punctuation, such as J<m$b7ua!43, can usually withstand an attack, but those are tough to remember."

"So based on that little bit of information my cat's name seemed less than secure than it did before I read the article. Now I've tightened up my passwords on most of my accounts, instead of using a simple 'geraldo' [my pet's name] I'm using 'GeraldoCat_CanBeatTheCrapOutOfYourCatAnyDayAnyTime". Needless to say I think that string of characters is particulary safe.

Are Your Passwords Too Weak?

FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm not a cat person. I've never owned any animal named 'Geraldo'. That would just be plain weird.
