Guyot Designs has a Blog?

Yep, Guyot Designs now has a blog. It's a great way for us to get the word out. We're a small little company, our products are simple, we don't have tech reps roaming the country putting on demos. We don't have the capital to fund sponsored athletes, or pay for lots of fancy magazine and television ads. But with a blog we can use pictures, and text to really describe what we're about, what's going on at Guyot Designs, and what makes us tick. The blog is also a great medium for conveying stories, pictures, and ideas informally. You won't find press releases on this blog, though we might link to and comment on them from time to time. This blog should give you a better understanding of our products, and who we are as a company.

One thing I should point out: This blog is written by Guyot Designs employees. We're very proud of the products we make and the company we run. None of us could work for a company we don't believe in. So, of course there is going to be a natural bias in the posts on this blog. At the same time, it would do us and all of our customers a great disservice to be dishonest. We'll do our best to publish legitimate and factual information about our products and company, and if you think we're out of line, or overly effusive about our products, please let us know! Leave comments on the blog or write in to our website. The more we hear from you, the better we'll be able to improve our products! We'll be honest with you and we hope you'll be honest with us.

Lastly, this blog should help break down the barriers that form between people as they fit themselves and each other into pre-defined roles. You're a buyer, I'm a seller. You're job is to give me money, my job is to give you a product. Simplifying our interactions into these stereotyped roles misses out on the larger truth. You no longer see the person, only the job they have to perform. The truth is we're all just people, living on the same planet, trying to enjoy our lives together. Hopefully this blog will help you understand the people behind Guyot Designs, our drives and goals, and hopefully you'll like what you see and continue to purchase our products.
