If you’re planning a trip to Paris, Hotel Everland is the place to stay for a literally “edgy” experience.

Designed by Swiss artists Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann, Hotel Everland is a luxury one-bedroom hotel, including a bathroom, king-size bed and lounge with a view. It sits like a jewel on the roof of the Paris Palais De Tokyo.

It is only available for one night from about $500…  For those who can afford it, the experience will be absolutely unforgettable. Hurry up, it will move soon to another location.

I read with great interest Sunday’s New York Times article on the mobile Web. The subject is of great interest to me.

The real mobile Web has actually stepped forward. Things have changed over the last year, with the standards for mobile maturing, real business models emerging, and not least a passionate debate about the role and place of transcoding and adaptation in helping mobile users enjoy an experience of Web sites that were not designed with mobile in mind…

Still, accessing the Web on most mobile phones is an unreliable, and expensive experience. It still has a long way to go, but it’s coming, that’s for sure. Keep an eye on mobile web advances and while doing so, check out text-based giving options for non-profits. Text to Give is a great example of this type of service, as is Justgiving. Supporting a cause will get easier!

If you are currently dealing with an outdated website and trying to find the best way to manage the web re-making process you are not alone. Redesigning a large website can be an overwhelming task, demanding much effort and expense. In some cases, the re-design can do real damage. Here is an interesting article on this topic. It shows that even a task of such magnitude can be achieved… if taken step-by-step… in small portions.

Have you heard the buzz?…

I (dba Zayko) was featured in the main story (Branding Your Creative Business) of the Fall 2005 Boston edition of CREATE Magazine.

We unravel the mystery behind cutting-edge branding by revealing what creative types in Boston are doing to brand their own businesses” - says CREATE Magazine.

I was very surprised when I learned I was selected along with only three other creative professionals from the Boston area! There is always this feeling of “am I worthy of this?”… but apparently, the answer is “yes.”

Linda K. Pilgrim (the writer) has truly captured and communicated the essence of Zayko brand:

Sotirova’s brand is simultaneously linked to her personally - as is her approach to her work as a designer.”

I am so happy and hopeful this wonderful opportunity will open doors for new friendships.
