We were joking around at the Go Media office one day and our IT guy Dave was talking about how cool it would be to have a FAIL sticker to stick on random stuff. We looked online but didn't find much and decided to just do it ourselves. So in the typical "just wing it" approach, we reserved the failsticker domain and got some stickers printed. Oliver shows off the sticker in all it's glory. <img src="http://failsticker.com/images/fail-photo.jpg" /> We're selling them in little bundles for cheap so you can decorate your office or whatever. If you can find some good ironic real-life FAIL situations, send me a pic so I can put it on the site and replace the ones we took. http://www.failsticker.com //////////////////////////// UPDATE 7-1-09 /////////////////////////// We just launched <a href="http://www.failsticker.com">FAIL Sticker 2.0</a> Behold it's Greatness: <img src="http://www.gomediazine.com/wp-content/images/2009/06/failsticker540.jpg" /> 2009-07-01T17:40:57-04:00 71 2009-02-19T12:53:34-05:00 14518 false false 253 253 2 2009-11-07T19:51:42-05:00 1955 Something I posted on twitter, but wanted to get a better convo going... When you're writing songs, do you consciously think about being "different" or "unique?" If so, what are some things you do to make your song unique? Any share some songwriting tips, strategies, workflow etc. Do you write riffs first or lyrics? As a drummer, I usually just backup the band and figure out structure and segment out parts. Sometimes I have melody lines in my head but it's hard to communicate them. What do you drummers do to contribute to the band? 2009-06-15T00:00:36-04:00 8 2009-06-14T20:48:36-04:00 40561 false false 9773 253 1 2009-11-07T21:41:51-05:00 230 Hey I want to replace the rack tom and floor tom on my drum kit. Not sure if I should buy new or used or what brand to get. I'm sort of a noob at this. I know I probably cannot match the color of my kit, so what do you drummers do when replacing some of your drums? Do you paint it to match? Anyone have anything to sell/trade me? 2009-06-08T23:28:25-04:00 11 2009-06-08T14:46:35-04:00 37961 false false 1827 253 1 2009-11-08T00:39:20-05:00 318 Some of you may have spotted it already, but I redesigned my personal portfolio site <a href="http://jefffinley.org/">JeffFinley.org</a>.

Did you get an email saying they were removing profiles? <blockquote>We will be eliminating Profiles, the feature that allowed you to set up separate DVD Queues under one account. When? Profiles will be eliminated on September 1, 2008. Why? While it may be disappointing to see this feature go away, this change will help us to continue to improve the Netflix website for all our customers.</blockquote> If that's so, I think that's it. I would cancel my account. Help DIGG this story up to get more attention, so Netflix will realize how this is a terrible idea. http://digg.com/movies/Netflix_eliminating_Profiles 2008-10-15T01:05:11-04:00 20 2008-06-19T00:14:40-04:00 4288 false false 6468 253 1 2009-11-07T10:23:20-05:00 743 I don't know if you guys would be into this, but there are some forums I frequent and they share albums with eachother. It helps me get into music that I would never have been into before. I've always wondered about the ethics of this. Like I never think twice about downloading someone's album that someone shares, but I always feel guilty about uploading someone's album because I know how hard people work to make these albums. Especially if I've met the band members. I have some stuff I'd like to share with people for the sole purpose of either a) promoting that band to a larger audience or b) returning the favor to other members and not leeching everyone's albums without uploading myself.

I eventually want to do a tutorial on doing a theme from scratch, but I don't feel I'm an expert yet. I'm willing to cut people a deal so I can build up the portfolio. For a typical WP theme, it's basically just the homepage designed out in PS, then cut up into HTML, and then WP integration. All the other pages would use the same template as the home page. I'll do all that for $750. If you have any other specific needs, I can get you a more refined estimate. Here is my latest theme: http://www.jeffandkimwedding.com Any takers?
