Balkhis in Palm Beach Post
Well, you know West Palm Beach is my home town and the local news paper is Palm Beach Post. I was asked to interview in the news paper by the editor for their Accent section. The interview was featured today, Tuesday 08, 2008. It is a pretty darn big review. First it is on homepage, then most of the accent homepage and then and extra page. A short version of the article is also online.
Yup Lucky me. Once the interview was published today, I got multiple emails and phone calls from various people and local businesses who wants Uzzz Productions to do their design. So you know I will be a bit busy supervising and doing some of the work.
Well forget that, just check out the newspaper:

Hey, I am Syed Balkhi, The guy who is behind Balkhis Inc. I entered the industry back in 2002 not knowing a single thing. I barely spoke English at that time. In the past six years, my language barrier has been eliminated. Aside from English, now I also speak html, and php. Along with the languages I have also managed to master a few arts. Art of web-designing started when I first entered. Messing around with photoshop, I learned how to create my first web design. Now I founded a web designing firm Uzzz Productions. After running numerous amount of websites in various niche, I have mastered the art of web-development. Now I am compiling a resource of what I already know, and what I am learning on this blog. This resource is to help me if I ever need a guide to look back to, and it is help my fellow webmasters.
