Because DIY really means "do it yourselves."

This site would not be possible without the incredible talents of Luke Ehler (development) and Kerri Augenstein (design). Kerri designed the Static Motor logo and the original site a few years ago, the cover art for the first Longwalls album, and is responsible for the stellar design of this here version 3. Needles to say she's über talented; see more of her design work here. Luke is a developer that honors design and builds a mean back end. He integrated the new e-commerce function and worked miracles on the CMS dashboard that will make managing this site a breeze. Luke is way too cool to build his own website (who would we yell at about scope creep?), but if you're looking for top-notch CMS work, drop me a line and I'll put you in touch. These two are quite a team.

And while we're on site design, a big shout out to Concrete5—an open source CMS for marketers, but built by geeks. And to Soundcloud—the best music "CMS" there is. Period.

I must also acknowledge all the folks at Sametz Blackstone Associates who foster a creative and supportive environment—without which, this endeavor would be next to impossible.

And lastly, none of this would be possible without the artists: Alan Wuorinen, Kurt von Stetten, Dan London, Kevin Buzzell, Cindy Vaccaro, Scott Robinson, Jay Figueroa, Ravi Jain, and their (our!) extended families and friends. You're the spark that's made this motor go.

Cheers to all!
