Come on over and check out our New Blog on Tumblr – that’s where we’re hanging out the most these days.  This blog right here has great past content – but as of July 4th, 2011 (we’re very patriotic of course) – Tumblr will be the only Blue Q blog going on. Thanks!

Latest Obsession: All things Pixar

Thank you Pixar, for making “family viewing time” palatable.  Actually, MORE than palatable.  When anyone says, “Can I watch something?” I’m the first to say, “What about THE INCREDIBLES?  UP?  TOY STORY 2, you know, the one with Jessie?  Or how about FINDING NEMO?” Even though I resent having to explain to a toddler or [...]

Ever been to a tradeshow before?  They’re amazing.  It’s wholesale for retail.  You walk into this cavernous space (a convention center, like the Javits Center in New York City) and every place that makes the stuff you love is there – except you can’t buy a [...]
