THE NEXT PHASE: TvTaxi TvTaxi was once called the Computer Room. Certainly the Computer Room was descriptive but it was not enough to communicate our role in the migration of video and rich media online. We were looking for a name that would convey our new paradigm. Founded by Brett Cramer in 1981, The Computer Room specialized in non-linear video editing systems, graphics, animation and web servers. Over the past twenty years the Computer Room represented such companies as Silicon Graphics (SGI), Intergraph, Softimage, Alias, Avid, Microsoft, Matrox and Discreet Logic amongst others. By providing quality products with exceptional service Computer Room was a leading supplier of custom computer solutions in South Florida. Computer Room won numerous industry awards for top sales and service. Customers came from all over the United States and South America for product and advice that they could be confident with. These customers have become, colleagues and friends over the years and continue to seek out our services. In 1999 we formed TvTaxi, a digital agency pooling our strengths and experience in video, graphics, animation and Internet to be at the forefront of the technology wave. By 2000 TvTaxi’s investment in people and infrastructure paid off with the development of MatrixPlayer, VideoGreetingCard.com and VideoBannerAd. In 2001, we continued the trend with development of the MatrixTracker, MatrixEducator, MatrixMailer, HTMLjam and PULPchat. As 2002 begins, we see more possibilities than ever to help our customers leverage the opportunities of the Internet. .

Robert Giordano Chief Creative Officer Robert Giordano thrives on a constant balancing act of art and technology. His beginnings as a Programming Architect at a very young age influenced his initial decision to become an Engineer. However, the art of photography also appealed to him. Frustrated by the lack of creative opportunities in Engineering, Robert switched his major to Art and pursued a career as a photographer. Rob’s technical experience gained him the position as Photographer and Digital Editor with the Boca Raton News, then owned by Knight-Ridder. The emergence of advanced computer technology and the Internet enticed Robert to begin developing again. For E-Soft, Inc., he developed a custom encryption algorithm as well as Scenario, a software application for writing screenplays. Robert also worked for other web design companies before finally joining TvTaxi in 1999. Robert and Brett took the concept of the MatrixPlayer, molded and expanded on its capabilities to reach its current state. Robert, as the key author of the code, continues to improve and create other forms that fill out the MatrixPlayer Suite. The merging of Art and Technology results in simpler and more elegant products and user interfaces.
