Found Item Clothing

Have you found yourself watching a TV show or movie and wonder to yourself where YOU could buy a gorilla-faced t-shirt like Val Kilmer was wearing in the film Real Genius, or maybe you want a pair of his bunny slippers. If so, then FOUND ITEM CLOTHING should be your next stop.

They seem to cover all genres, with a focus on the classic films of the 80’s, like TRON (“Flynn’s Arcade”), Beverly Hills Cop (“Mumford Physical Education Dept”), a “Camp North Star” shirt from Meatballs, and even Cameron’s “Caduceus” t-shirt from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. If you order now, you’ll be ready for Halloween a few months early, even.

Asher Roth: I Love College

Post date February 11, 2009

A friend of mine reminded me of this video that I saw a while ago but completely forgot about needing to share as well: I LOVE COLLEGE by Asher Roth. So I’ll give the inspiration credit to him, and post the video here anyway:

Some might say that this video is a college fantasy, dreamed up just for the song. Maybe it all depends on the school you went to, but mine was pretty darn close to this some of the time (or so I heard).

Not all the time, that would just be crazy talk.

Asher Roth promoted himself really big on MySpace before being discovered. For once, being Tom’s friend has paid off for someone.

How to Sell Music Online: Peoples Music Store

Post author By web gangsta
Post date February 11, 2009

There are a few different ways people can buy music online, but they are all basically the same whether it by the iTunes Music Store, eMusic, Amazon, ro any other retailer.

PEOPLES MUSIC STORE is a bit different, as it is setup and run by YOU, the music fan. And unlike that alleged Ponzi scheme BURNLOUNGE from a few years ago, you don’t have to pay any money to participate.

All you have to do is select the music you want to sell, write a few reviews and articles, and post your links for people to buy from you. You’ll be able to promote your store by including code on your own website, or by using Widgets on places like MySpace or Facebook. The better you are at providing reviews and commentary, the more visible and profitable your storefront will become.

I’d call the whole thing “MyTunes”, but that name is already taken.

One of today’s phrases that is sorely in need of being retired is “…in today’s economy…”. While true, it’s way way overused.

Unfortunately, it happens to fit U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT’S LIST OF 15 COMPANIES THAT MIGHT NOT SURVIVE 2009.

We’ve already seen Linens-n-Things and Circuit City close up shop this year. Muzak filed Chapter 11 today. The question is, who’s next?

According to US News, the ones to watch this year are:

Diana Freeman is a blogger specializing in social media and other related topics. I really like her stuff; if you have a chance to do so, bookmark her site.

She recently returned from a Walt Disney World vacation and wrote an interesting piece entitled DISNEY: A MODEL OF SUCCESS FOR YOUR PRODUCT OR WEBSITE, where she analyzes all the things that Disney does well, and how you can apply those techniques to your own business or website.

Here are the high points of what she talks about, and my brief interpretation:

How to Opt-Out of Online People Search Databases

Post date February 11, 2009

You know how you can just enter anyone’s name into Google, ZabaSearch, WhitePages.com, or other people-oriented search engine and be pretty much assured that you’ll be able to get their name, address, phone number, list of last known relatives, and birthdate without even trying very hard? All that information is available for free without too much effort for practically anyone who bothers to go looking for it.

PrivacyRights.org has compiled a PRIVACY RIGHTS DIRECTORY OF OPT-OUT DIRECTIONS for those of you who would like to removed yourself from appearing in those online directories. It won’t remove you from the original sources that these directories pull from, and the directories don’t make any promises that you won’t re-appear in the future – but at least most of these search sites offer some way to limit the amount of information that’s available about you online to the casual web surfer.

A Bra for Men – The New Trend in Men’s Underwear

Post author By web gangsta
Post date February 11, 2009

A bra for men has become the hottest selling men’s underwear item on a Japanese online shopping site.

It comes in three colors: black, pink, and white. The reporter’s closing words at the end is pure understatement: “Today, I’m feeling a little awkward because I’m wearing a bra for the first time in my life.” Really? A little awkward?

A kenken puzzle is relatively straightforward. Just like in sudoku, you have to fill in numbers in rows and columns without duplicates. But there’s a catch….
