Oh yeah, about that Vimeo thing. Putting big-label music in a video is copyright infringement. It sucks, but that’s the way it is.
It’s hardly Capitol Records’ fault that a bunch of internet people think they should be exempt from the terms that their beloved bands agreed to when they signed with the label, and it’s childish to blame Capitol for trying to enforce them. The bands chose to...
Vimeo Sued By Capitol Records Over Lip Dubs →
jessicabigarel:
I roared with a belly laugh when I read this headline. Could Capitol Records truly be this misguided? Do they not realize that if you were to sort Internet brands by those most emblematic of creativity — not piracy — that Vimeo would line up at the top? Lip-dubbing is harmless and perfectly fun, and ultimately will define the aesthetic of an Internet generation. Other than for...

I henceforth suggest everyone take a few minutes out of their days to type
Why won’t, How can…
When will, Who will, How come, Where is, With who,

The results are often delightful and confusing

Client: “What’s this invoice for?”

Me: “Uh… um. OK, well I can’t build you a website then.”
Client: “But you agreed to. I signed your agreement!”

Changing DNS settings is a bit uber-geek for most people but it can be incredibly helpful in speeding up your internet connection especially with Mexico’s shitty lame ass maxes out at 5mps internet.
