This Week at ADB, Inc., 17-23 March 2019

Steve Cole reports:

This was a week of steady work on current projects. It was the first week that our new intern, Samantha Todd, worked here on her own.

New on DriveThru RPG and Wargame Vault this week was Captain's Log #28. (It was already on Warehouse 23.)



The Starlist Update Project moved forward with one new entry and three updates.

Steve Cole grew stronger every day and dropped below 306 pounds for the first time in many years. He worked on Captain's Log #53 (laying out 30 pages), blogs, art for the Gorn Master Starship Book, Shapeways, and other projects.

Steven Petrick worked on Star Fleet Battles updates, quality control assembly and shipping, and the Gorn Master Starship Book.

Leanna kept orders and accounting up to date.

Mike kept orders going out and rebuilt the inventory.

Samantha did website updates and some graphics.

Wolf guarded the office, chasing away a Prognathodon that swam by during a particularly wild thunderstorm.

Jean worked with Samantha, managed our page on Facebook (which is up to 4,081 friends), uploaded ships to Shapeways, managed our Twitter feed (285 followers), commanded the Rangers, dealt with the continuing spam assault on the BBS, managed the blog feed, proofread a ship for Communique, took care of customers, uploaded PDFs, and did some marketing.

This Week at ADB, Inc., 10-16 March 2019

Steve Cole reports:

This was a week of steady work on current projects.

The Starlist Update Project moved forward with two new entries and four updates.


Steve Cole worked on Captain's Log #53, blogs, art for the Gorn Master Starship Book, Shapeways, and other projects. Steve steadily improved, including the longest dog walk in years on Sunday and twice that far on Tuesday as he graduated from physical therapy with flying colors. Steve got top marks from his surgeon on his six-week checkup and has lost 70 pounds since last July.



Steven Petrick worked on Star Fleet Battles updates, quality control assembly and shipping, the Tholian Master Starship Book, and the Gorn Master Starship Book.


Leanna kept orders and accounting up to date.

Mike kept orders going out and rebuilt the inventory.

Simone did website updates and some graphics. Simone will be leaving soon to take care of her first baby (due in September) and we hired Samantha Todd as her replacement. Simone is using her last days to train Samantha (a graphic design student at the local university).

Wolf guarded the office, chasing away a Yehuecauhceratops. Most of the week, he stayed home with Jean to take care of her.

Jean worked on updating the text catalog and product update list and managed the blog feed. She came down with a cold and decided to stay at home so as not to set back Steve Cole's recovery. From home she  managed our page on Facebook (which is up to 4,080 friends), managed our Twitter feed (285 followers), commanded the Rangers, dealt with the continuing spam assault on the BBS, took care of customers, and did some marketing.
