Donation button added to our website

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

After thinking it over for a very long time (1 minute and 13 seconds) we decided to add a donation button to the top of our website. Why? Well, it might have been suggested to us by others, it might have been because we wanted to be like twit, or maybe it’s because it just makes sense to add it. After all we are on a shoestring budget. Richard would like to update his Vic 20 and I would like a color monitor instead of the 9″ monochrome one that I’m using. Regardless of the reason, we are going to try it out for a while. Hopefully we’ll make a million dollars and be able to retire early. Although, I wouldn’t expect our videos to get any better. We’ll likely continue to make B quality screencasts no matter who much we have in our bank accounts. Make one good video and you guys and gals will expect it all of the time. No way. That’s too much pressure.

Please donate to show support but don’t feel like it’s a requirement. Our videos will remain free and always will be. It’s the least that we can do since we use free software to make them. :)

The Flaming Lips/Dell Song

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Good Grief! I cannot get that damn song by The Faming Lips (The W.A.N.D.) that’s used in the most recent Dell commercial out of my head today. Is that what it’s come to for me? Finding songs that I like by listening to TV commercials?  Perhaps my generation is behind all of this stuff. I heard a Smiths song in a commercial the other day too. The Smiths are my favorite band. Using that music to sell a car? That’s not right…is it? Hmm…
