It has been a busy few weeks here at Wood That Works. I have been creating kinetic sculptures for nearly 40 years and have had a website since 1995. As all of us with websites know, we jump through hoops to try and get noticed in the big wide online world. Marji and I have tried all kinds of things to get the website mentioned on some of the known "neat things" blogs to no avail. Little did we know the method was to go on vacation! As our plane touched down in Reykjavik for a 15 day tour of Iceland, I received a much appreciated email from a collector (thanks Scott!) wondering if we knew I was trending on Gizmodo. No, we weren't paying attention at all but we probably would have figured out something was up shortly there after. Yup, email jumped, views jumped, youtube viewings soared and vacation started with work!
We think it all started September 10th on Booooooom....
Which got picked up by Colossal....
And then onto Gizmodo
And it continued onto other blogs from there. We send thanks to whomever started th balling rolling.
Guess we need to go a vacation more frequently!
