the Chicken Test present Elvisioso
We are please to annouce the our first of hopefully many side project here at the Chicken Test, ElVisioso – he loves Visio that much. It is a site dedicated to well… Visio… yeah that’s about it. It may have a slight bias towards
Information Architects
and Designers
and Software Architects
and Business Analysts
and Hockey Coaches
but that is it. Check it out right now http://www.elvisioso.com. Some of you may be asking why a side project when you never really update your own site and all we have to say to that is that’s how we roll.
