Now that we’ve been here awhile and are convinced the new bunker is secure, we’re growing weary of the drab interior and long for the good old days of gilded ceilings, flowing sequins and all around palatial excess… while all this may well have existed only in my head, it’s time nonetheless to start decorating this joint and make things bling a little.

The current Sepia Mutiny interface has certainly served us well, but the truth is that it is also showing signs of age and we’re past due for a bit of an overhaul, in particular to allow for future expansion and improved usability. Don’t worry, we’re not going all MySpace on you guys, and we’re not about to bombard you with annoying pop-ups and classmates.com flash banners encouraging you to stalk your high school sweetheart. We will still be the Mutiny you love, just a little bit nicer and all dressed up.

So, if you are a bad-ass graphic designer, you drop shadows in your sleep, you hallucinate in alpha channels, and you can spare a few cycles to help us with our upcoming efforts, please email us (minus the caps) with samples of your work or a pointer to your portfolio. In particular, we are looking for someone who excels in clean and measured web design, and someone with logo and branding experience (this could be the same person). Please note that we are not seeking programming or technical help at this time. Once we gauge response, I will follow-up on the specifics of what we need and how best to get things rolling.

We can’t offer much in return for your efforts, other than a link to your website and the collective thanks of all the Mutineers, though if you do a really good job, maybe we’ll throw in a couple of monkeys macacas and a night with the intern… and believe me, that’s nothing to scoff at.

…and we’re back! You’re reading this now and so you’ve made it over to our new home.

Welcome to the new and improved Mutiny. If everything looks exactly as it did before, then we’ve done our jobs well.

While the other Mutineers are busy fighting over bathrooms and the most luxuriously appointed living quarters, Kunjan and I will be napping blissfully in our king-size master suites (having arrived first, we naturally staked out the prime real estate in advance).

Thanks for your patience during this transition and please let us know if you notice anything strange. Continue reading →

If there’s one thing we here at the Mutiny have learned from our peers, it’s how to roll in style. After all, what’s the point of being a super-secret group of revolutionaries, if you don’t take full advantage of the perks. So while our tendencies still most definitely gravitate towards Cristal and Beluga, the truth of the matter is that recent growth has left more than a little to be desired in our present diggs.

A stagnant mutiny is a dead mutiny, and so it is that we are moving on to a bigger, phatter and more secure crib… still, of course, somewhere deep in the heart of North Dakota. We’ve been busy packing, the monkeys are ready, and tonight, at the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, Sepia… (eh, sorry.. got a little carried away there).

We will be transitioning to a new server tonight at midnight (Tuesday, 12:00AM EST) and depending on where on the internet you call home, the changes could take as long as 24 hours or more to take effect, but for the majority of you, things should be back to normal by the time you get to work on Tuesday morning. In the meantime, you will see a read-only version of the site with comments turned off.

Rest assured, the Mutiny will be back, stronger than ever… plus, we’ve just now learned that the North Dakota historical society has designated our current home a state monument which will be open to visitors beginning next month. Continue reading →
