Worst Rebranding Ever!


I didn't think it was possible to make anything worse than a Pizza Hut pizza, boy was I wrong!

Man, this is so incredibly lame I don't even know where to start - the first thing that came to my mind was:

Your logo in 30 minutes or it's free!

That's Right,

How To Create A Butt Ugly Website


From the moment a visitor hits your site to the time they exit, there are plenty of effective techniques to not only annoy them, but insure that they'll never come back.

In this dead on piece, Alec Rios identifies 28 points to remember during a website development and how to execute them properly.

Here are a few gems:

Use as many random colors as you can. It doesn’t matter if they look good together or not, just make a rainbow. Eat some skittles for inspiration.

Play background music automatically. Everyone in the world likes the exact same music as you, so feel free to play some automatically. Don’t allow me to pause it or anything, though.

Use HTML tables. Forget CSS. Travel back in time and use some HTML.

Use at least five different fonts. The more variation, the better. Be sure to include a few fancy, cursive, illegible fonts. Don’t make it look like you had a scheme of any kind.

Show no professionalism whatsoever. Don’t make your website look professional, don’t act professional. Just be a kid.

Don’t pay attention to your visitors. Completely ignore them. Don’t answer email, don’t accept feedback, nothing.

Force me to register. People think that registering will keep visitors coming back. It won’t. So keep making people do it.

Never update your website. Outdated information is in this year.

And if for some odd reason you want to create a good website, simply do the exact opposite of all this.

Beware Of Western Digital Hard Drives!


Long story short.

I bought a Western Digital My Book Pro 500GB drive 6 months ago as a backup drive. It worked great.

Two days ago I bought another Western Digital My Book Premium 320GB to backup the most crucial data on the WD 500GB.

As per Western Digital's web site, I downloaded the latest firmware upgrade from the WD site for both drives in an effort to daisy-chain the 2 NEW drives.

The 320 worked but when I plugged in the 500GB for only the second time since I bought it, the firmware upgrade failed and the drive is now dead!

Spent 3-4 hours trouble shooting and on the phone with Westen Digital and all they offer is a refurb replacement drive.

Data recovery for the 500GB drive starts at $400 just to look at it and up to $1,900!

I know that any and every drive has the potential to fail - my main beef is that Western Digital's firmware upgrade was aborted and made my 500GB drive unusable!

And here's 233 more comments about the fact that Western Digital is aware of this and other issues but really does not care: Western Digital Sucks!

That's Wrong!
