What a ride!

Brent and Ray

In 2003 I was diagnosed with testicular cancer at the age of 31. My wife and I had only been married a year. Fusion was still “young”. I was referred to Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) by my family doctor for surgery, and they removed the affected testicle. After two years of monthly tests, the doctors were worried that there were still signs of the disease, and in 2005 I did a month of radiation. Twenty years from the original diagnosis, fingers crossed, it still appears to be in remission. I was lucky.

ChatGPT and Web Development: A Perfect Dynamic Duo!

Have you heard of ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-training Transformer)? It’s a cutting-edge artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI. Think of it as your very own virtual assistant or pal, always ready and available to help you with whatever you need. For me this translated into assisting with my web development tasks making them easier to handle!

Underground Design

We were asked by RGD Canada to participate in their country-wide virtual studio crawl. We were pretty excited about sharing our workspace(s) with everyone. And while we don’t have a typical office—we thought it would be interesting for others to see how the hybrid thing works for us.

6 is the Magic Number

Fusion’s history goes back 28 years. At 50 years old, that’s more than half of my life invested in this studio. My work and life balance hasn’t been so much a separation of the two, but interwoven experiences revolving around people. Great (and not-so-great) creatives, great (and not-so-great) clients, and so many friends, family, suppliers, mentors, etc. All of these individuals have helped shape Fusion into what it is today.

Remember 2018? That was five years ago.

That’s when we started to think about a new website. We started. Stopped. And got busy. We even had the initial prototype coded and just didn’t finish it. Then COVID happened. Time may have lost all meaning then. But in 2022, we kicked things into gear—finally!
