Memoirs of a Craigslist Spambot

Uncategorizable(1)

I’ve been trying to sell some stuff on Craigslist recently. If you’ve never used it, there are quite a few bots out there crawling around soliciting the opportunity to buy your “item”, without ever specifically referring to what you are selling. I decided I would try to converse with one of them, and the following […]

Some really cool paintings as part of 6emeia, an art initiative of Leonardo Delafuente & August Anderson. They paint crazy characters on street sewers. Be sure to check out Sao’s flickr for more amazing work.

Mobile Web Design Previewer

Google, Web Development, Mobile Web(0)

Google has started showing Adwords space on mobile search pages. They allow you to preview your sites design on a mobile web page to see if it displays properly.

Clipping Path Sweat Shops

Creative, Visual Design, Resource(1)

I recently discovered misterclipping.com, a place that offers clipping path services. Talk about a target audience. I’m thinking about starting my own service for duplicating layers. If you need a Photoshop layer duplicated, I’m your guy. In all seriousness though, I might actually use this if I ever find an extremely complex image and […]

Prove Your Business To Me

I like this commercial from LifeLock. The CEO claims the quality of his service is so good, that he shows his social security number to everyone as part of the campaign. This isn’t a new idea, the Hair Club for Men has been doing it forever. But, it got me thinking of other services or […]

Every so often I come across a great series or clip for Japanese TV. I find them fascinating to watch, I’d view a lot more television if U.S. cable had this kind of programming. Here’s the most recent, enjoy.

Multipational

Web Development, Creative, cross discipline(1)

I’ve been reading Seth Godin’s Small Is The New Big. In one entry, he talks about how he had a hard time coming up with his job title when he was asked, and determined that we are becoming a “multipation” culture. We no longer conform to the “I’m a firefighter” and that’s it. (I have […]

Gmail Account Lockdown: Unusual Activity Detected

Google, gmail(5)

I’ve been locked out of my gmail account at least once a day for the past 7 days. Apparently, there were quite a few of us with the same problem, and Google’s tech support was of no help. So, this was solved by community. Thanks to this Google Group, I found that my SoThink swf […]
