Emmy Winner Pablo Munguia Works with CB&F

Categories:Design, News

Grammy Emmy award winning producer, mixer and audio engineer Pablo Munguia’s web site has been converted and updated by Charles Buchwald & Friends. Fresh from work on Superbowl XLVI and the 2012 Grammy Awards, Pablo is now headed to the 84th Academy Awards at the end of the month.

This updated included converting a legacy Flash based site to a thoroughly modern Content Management System (CMS). WordPress was selected as the most flexible and reliable solution, and implemented while preserving the look and feel of the former programming. A new system was added for easily managing customer testimonials and news articles, while new audio, video and slideshow players present content in a searchable, scalable, easy-to-manage way.

iPhone 5 Design Leaked

Just couldn’t resist this one…

For what it’s worth, I predict that within 10 years or less, the handheld computer will be the de facto standard. I’ve seen 1 TB USB drives coming out this year, and Moore’s Law says that smartphones will be 1000 times more powerful than they are now in 10 years. So I think that in 2022, when you get to your office, you’ll plug your phone into a monitor and a keyboard… or it will connect wirelessly. And when you’re done, you’ll just take it with you. That’s my two cents, or 2 pesos, as the case may be.
