What goes great with gum? A rocket-shaped gumball machine. That's right, rocket-shaped. The developers here at Rocket Jones aren't only talented when it comes to building websites, we're also fantastic at putting rocket-shaped gumball machines together.
So, if you have a quarter in your pocket and are wondering what to do with it, well stop on by the Rocket Jones office and try out the new machine!

Our good friends Jeff and Katie were recently caught spreading the Rocket love in Africa.
Check out this photo Jeff took of a man making us a very cool rocket out of recycled metals (click the image to the right for a larger view). Very sweet. You can see the finished piece firsthand in the conference room at our office.
We do have a bit of a rocket collection forming at our office, and this custom piece makes a wonderful addition!
The rest of the story is that this Ugandan sculptor refused to give the Rocket Jones t-shirt back! So, be sure to look for him when you're there next! :-) We owe you a new shirt, Jeff.
Thanks, Jeff and Katie!

Hankering for some good food in Old Town Fort Collins? We've got the perfect answer... LaLuz.
This place is great. It's just around the corner from the Rocket office, so we stop in on a regular basis.
May we recommend the Carnitas Potato Burrito smothered in Green Chili? Can't go wrong there!

I love snow! Woooo-hoooo! We haven't had the snow we usually have around here, so it's high time.
We thought it would be fun to take a photo of the Joneses in the snow. So, here you go.
For those of you in Florida or some other non-snowy place (that's you, Eric), now you can see what you're missing here in colorful Colorado!

Our very own Rocket Jones Santa is back! Stop by the office to meet him.
P.S. He can actually wave (sort of). How cool is that?

Okay, so these guys have a lamo-o website, but they have wonderful food. The Rocket team eats there at least once a week (sometimes more). If you're in the Old Town Fort Collins area looking for some good food, check them out! Tell 'em the Rocket Jones guys sent ya! Heck, maybe they'll even know who you're talking about. :-)

We got our new street sign up, and it looks great! Sometime when you're driving around Old Town, feel free to swing by 231 Jefferson Street and enjoy the sign in person. Thanks to Brian and his team at Paxton Sings for their work.
*Thanks also to Josh for letting me use his iPhone to capture the sign in all its glory.

Congratulations to Jeff (Shoe) and his wife Angie on the birth of their new 8 lb baby girl, Emma Jane! Emma was born at home this morning about 4:00 a.m. Mom and baby are both resting and doing well, and Jeff is as happy as ever, as are their other three kids.
Congrats from the rest of the RJ Team!

It's official! Last week we received our blue "We Recycle" bins to start implementing our new and improved Rocket Jones Recycling Policy here in the office. Now, don't worry; we were recycling before these glorious bins of blue showed up, but it involved a lot of guessing. So, we took some time to study up about recycling in Larimer County, and found some great guidelines we can all learn from and use:
Recyclables are split up into two categories:
[1] Fiber Products
•cardboard/paperboard
•newspapers and inserts
•magazines and telephone books
•office paper and junkmail
[2] Commingled Items
•glass bottles and jars
•plastic containers
•metal cans
Thanks to Stacie's good work on this project, we're off to a great start! If you're not recycling already, please join us!
Your boss just called. He wants a cool web site, right away.
