About a year ago, we posted a blog article called “Is it a bird? Is it a plane? … No, it’s a 2-year-old on a Kiddimoto”. The article covers the innovative approach that a small family business in Roetgen, Germany took to building children’s bikes with the introduction of LIKEaBIKE. Their theory was that by [...]

Lights, Camera, Freeze
How clever are we? Well we replaced the word action with the word freeze to get you to read this body copy in an effort to sell you on the benefits of our FREEZE THE MOMENT with Slurpee contest.
So it’s safe to say that we’re super clever. But we don’t want all the spotlight. Besides, [...]

Cookin’ for a Cause II: Lasagne
I learned two very important things this week:
The guys at Hot Tomali have very ravenous appetites, and
Making two pans of lasagne in one go is a real pain in the ass.
At the end of October, I created a team and convinced the boys of Hot Tomali to grow moustaches in the name of prostate cancer. [...]

Hot Tomali Presents *A Movember to Remember*
November 1st has marked the beginning of this year’s Movember!
For those of you who don’t know, Movember is an annual, month-long campaign that celebrates the moustache, with the goal of raising funds for men’s health—specifically, prostate cancer. Every November 1st, clean-shaven men grow a moustache all month long, garnering support from friends and family in [...]

Cookin’ for a Cause
When the office cries for a chili luncheon, they come crying to me. And knowing that the chili bowls in the office would be full for a good cause, I didn’t have a difficult time stepping up to the plate.
On Friday afternoon, as part of Hot Tomali’s commitment to United Way, we all took a [...]

Island Pork Tenderloin Salad
Anyone who knows me knows that I love my kitchen. And right now, I’m trying to find a way to justify posting a recipe on the company blog. Let’s see… instead of six degrees of separation, I’ll find six degrees of connection between Hot Tomali and the recipe I need everyone to see.
The dish is [...]

Way to Freak Out the Luddite!
I’m about as far from an early adopter as you can get. I generally get a bit freaked out by even the notion of new technology and often find myself wondering just why we need most of this stuff. If it were up to me we would probably all be sitting around outdoors, drawing pictures [...]

I’m Your Freaky, Fluffy Friend ’til the End!
Anyone remember those commercials for Snuggle fabric softener? The product mascot is a teddy spokesbear that springs to life and, among other things, traipses around your house whilst you and your family are fast asleep. I have never been able to comprehend how anyone would find this endearing. Toys that become animated in the dead [...]

How much is $71.36 worth?
We’re a pretty conscious bunch here at Hot Tomali. We take transit to work, we recycle our Styrofoam, we get together at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning to tackle the Grouse Grind. So how hypocritical is it that I, Project Manager, used to contradict all the good we Hot Tomalians do by smoking a [...]

When Retro and Interactive Collide
This is so cool. We were on our Twitter account earlier toay (@hottomali in case you want to add us) and noticed a tweet about visiting www.espn.com and punching in the old Konami code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Enter). Sounded weird, but enticing enough. The coder behind this probably [...]
