The Crossroads Entertainment Conference is going on today and tomorrow in downtown Des Moines, IA, and later today I have the pleasure of sitting on a panel talking about "Making Money in Music". Thanks to Jill Haverkamp of On Pitch for inviting me! It should be a great experience for me and hopefully for anyone that wants to come listen!
Tuesday, October 25, 2011 at 10:34PM I had the pleasure of assisting in the artwork/album design for Colby Yates' new album, "Right Amount of Renegade," which is out now, October 25, and available on iTunes. I especially loved the photo Colby decided to use on the back of the album, check it out after the break.

6pm.com, a Zappos sister site (yea Ive never heard of it either) has recently posted on the Inside Zappos blog about a HUGE pricing mistake they made where they capped the price of every item at their site at $49.95, and in some cases that meant a HUGE (I keep saying HUGE, i know) savings for whomever bought something in a 6 hour window. Now, that doesnt seem like a big deal, they just send out an apology letter to whoever bought something at that time letting them know they made a mistake and they cancled their order. Maybe they threw in a coupon or something for their trouble, right? NO! In a HUGE ( ;) ) surprose to me, they honored the purchases that were made, even thought they said that they lost $1.6 million because of the mistake. Wow...

Squarespace, the great WYSIWYG blog/website tool (that is powering this site..), has announced the release of social widgets that can be placed into your website. Right now, you can embed a little widget into your sidebar that shows a customizable feed from Twitter, Flickr, or RSS. After using it a little bit for my site, its pretty nifty because you can customize the kinds of info you want to be shown and filter out certain tweets, for example, in the Twitter widget. It also keeps the look and feel of your site as opposed to some hacked in widgets that stand out like a sore thumb.
More social networks will be supported soon, including Digg and Delicious.
