Reflections after being named Eugene’s First Citizen
I’m Eugene’s First Citizen. I join a relatively short list of people who’ve helped shape our community. I feel proud and humble. I was honored at the Eugene Chamber’s Celebration of Business just a month ago.
So many people reached out to share my joy and say “thanks.” Flowers, plants, chocolate, hand-written notes, email and social media […]
Catching the eclipse enthusiasm
Of course, you’ve heard there’s going to be a total solar eclipse on Aug. 21, a rare event with the “path of totality” stretching across Oregon in a narrow swath, including Newport, Corvallis, Salem, Madras and Baker City.
It would be difficult to miss the news stories about people’s excitement over this astronomical
phenomenon or the headlines declaring an “apoc-eclipse” with cautions about major traffic congestion and the possibility of […]
What we dream creates our tomorrows
How true! That’s what we’re doing at CAWOOD right now. We’re in the throes of a massive remodel – interior walls, ceilings, flooring are all gone. We dream of a more collaborative space with lots of room and flexibility – big tables for collaboration, sitting areas for casual conversations, places to reflect, and a deck for gathering and enjoying being […]
Break free from the zombie lunch crowd
You’ve seen them, those people shuffling down the sidewalk gazing down into their phones — excited maybe to see that a notification from Facebook has appeared since they checked a few minutes ago.
Hey, I’m not judging. I’m pretty hooked on my little device, too. But I’ve also discovered that when I’m outside for my lunchtime walk I can use my phone to help me look outward, not just inward.
I meander slowly and stop often to ponder a view. I look for […]
Give a little of your time: it’s a kick
Here’s Paul and Jürgen.
That’s Paul on the left. He’s a designer and web developer here at Cawood. Jürgen is Jürgen Ruckaberle, and he heads up the Eugene Timbers Futbol Club, a soccer program that involves about 700 kids, four of whom belong to Paul.
When Jürgen’s program won an affiliation with the Portland Timbers last year and changed it’s name, […]
Get up, stand up! At your desk
A year ago, by the end of a workday, my knee was in pain and my lower back ached. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I sat, like many of us do, at my desk all day.
I started noticing a pattern. The more time I spent on my feet, moving around and actually using my legs, the less my body hurt. This realization was great, but most of my […]
The art director is a zombie
We hope it doesn’t have anything to do with life around the office, but when our art director Cari goes home, sometimes she’s just a zombie:

For a couple of years now, Cari has been part of Thrill the World Eugene. It’s an international event wherein people all over the world dress up as the living dead […]

Creating a social media policy for your company
It’s estimated that 68 percent of companies don’t have clearly defined social media policies. They aren’t providing guidelines to their employees to help them understand the relationship between their personal posting and their jobs.
“I’d say there are two broad reasons for having a social media set of guidelines for every company: crisis management or brand opportunity,” said Mario Sundar, community evangelist at LinkedIn.
Social media offers the opportunity for employees to help build […]
