Thanks to John for these awesome drawings.

In the spirit of the holiday, we wanted to list some of the things that we’re thankful for here at Planet Nutshell. Here are our top 8:

Check out our new Nutshell for the talented investment folks over at PJMint! It will teach you why their investment strategies are more adaptive and nimble than traditional strategies, and how they can help you avoid sea monsters and pirates. It’s clear sailing ahead with PJMint!

We think the artwork for this video is pretty swanky, and we hope you think so too!

This past Saturday we were proud to attend and be featured at the Expanding Horizons 2013 gala to benefit Earthen Vessels. Earthen Vessels is a wonderful local organization that “recruits, trains, and mobilizes a motivated volunteer corps of university students to empower inner-city children from the most disadvantaged neighborhoods of Boston to succeed in school and beyond.”

We donated 30 seconds of animation and a tour of our studio to be bid on by the gala attendees during the gala auction. Congratulations to Lou LaRocca, President & CEO of J2 Interactive, for winning the auction! We look forward to working with him and his team, and for their support of Earthen Vessels!
