Heh heh, nice work Tom. 'Tis is a very thoroughly American theme, although I think you might have been able to have taken it a step farther by making it possible for people to stay in their cars while going through the mall, driving through the stores while shopping and all that...
I showed it to a friend of mine who has studied architecture and he said that the inverted pyramid is actually the strongest structure there is, as long as you can keep it upright.
It makes a good desktop background, too... |

I'm not sure how it works, actually. But it really is a "sales award", not a "music award", so I guess it goes to people who helped get the million sales. During the time that those sites were operating, I think I recall that Running With Scissors was the highest-selling album through internet sales for a week or two, so maybe that is why they think we're deserving. |

Wow, that platinum award is totally sweet. How does the RIAA decide who gets an award? I would have thought it would only be people who had actually helped in the production of the music. |

Hmmmm.... It works on so many levels!!
The inverted pyramid reflects the change in foreign policy toward the arabic people and the mall just rubs salt into their wounds as capitalism dances on the graves of their rich and ancient culture.
There could be no greater tribute. |

The 'NEW' category is a good idea, I'll do that next time I upload some!
You can probably do it a little bit with your digital camera -- just zoom in as much as possible and get close to the subject. But it's mainly a property of the focal length of the lens, something that crappy digital cameras don't tend to excel in. Maybe that's why I like it so much, who knows? |
| |
And also - an idea: I have seen your photo gallery before, and although I like your pics, it would have been nice if I could just browse the new ones. You could make a "new"-caterogy which was changed whenever you updated your pictures.
Just an idea. |
| |
Nice pictures. I like the "Cucumber Up" - except that it's a bit bright at the top.
I also like that you are "obsessed with shallow depth-of-field" in many of your pictures. I always want to do it, but don't really know how to do it. Is it possible at all with my crappy digital camera? |
| |
Yeah, that's what I meant. |
| |
object oriented programming? |

Incredibly, powerlips.org is still free! Jump on this amazing internet land-grab immediately! |

What's neat about that?
And where's powerlips.org? |
| |
I use the Canon EOS Elan II with its supplied lens.
But, I want to get a macro lens soon... |
| |
Wow, what kind of camera do you use? |

This is ridiculous.
It reminds me, when I was around thirteen years old I was making free designs for people (their personal and fan sites) called "rak design" (since well, rak is my nickname) and this company: http://rakdesign.com emailed me saying that the name was copyrighted by them, and that they were loosing buisness by me having my thing, and if I didn't remove my site they would take legal action against me. First of all, I was on a FREE SERVER, second, I sucked and if they were worrying about competitivness with a thirteen year old they must really suck, third, I wasn't doing anything for money or corperate sites. In all, I got around 20 requests or so, but I only did 2 designs, both were fan sites. Hell, I think one was for an Nsync website.
I don't know why people like to bully when they have no reason to. It's quite sad actually. But when people fight back it makes me happy. I almost wish I would have fought with the rakdesign guy, but for awhile I just named it... rakdesign2000 rotf. Then I closed it because I didn't have time to make people free crap.
I love the points people have made here. You guys kick ass.
