Back in October of 2005 we tried something novel, even for us. We added a rss feed for new products for early adapters. Back then few customers customers knew (and many still don’t) what the hell rss is, but it caught on big time with spammers. Btw, that post is and will […]

This is very funny for all of you nerds & internet geeks who happen to work in e-commerce. Most of you won’t get it though, no worries.

The rubber chicken is apparently used by some sun developers & programmers to avoid “breaking the build” when writing new software or applications.
The rubber chicken creates some social pressure but its silliness removes the sting.
This chicken in this instance would serve the same purpose as a dunce cap. In laymen’s terms, breaking the build […]

We have been experimenting with different homepage layouts over the last couple of days.

 
Depending on who you are & where you’re from you may see some, all, or none of these changes. Or more likely, if you are just a one time visitor making a one time visit/purchase, you probably wouldn’t notice […]

If you are into digital art then there is a really cool digital marketplace you should check out (still in beta) that aims to connect both buyers & sellers (notice the double “m”). Believe it or not, we have more in common than our names:

Ha, this is a pretty interesting look at the logo changes of various tech companies over the years. File this under general crap.

Did you know that Apple’s original logo was Isaac Newton under an apple tree? Or that Nokia’s original logo was a fish?..

Eh, maybe one day our little yellow square thingy will make […]

Now contrary to what everyone else in our little niche market does (and what many in most niche markets do, for good reason), we prefer to do as much of the ‘mission critical’ components as possible in house as opposed to outsourcing those to 3rd parties — from our shopping cart & hosting our own […]

A few weeks back we added an “add this” button to all of our product pages, which allows you to bookmark a product to any of your preferred bookmarking services, with just a couple of clicks.
This replaced the cluttered aim/ del.icio.us/ bookmark buttons we had before (and then some), but also comes with full reports […]

If you were to visit our site between now, and tomorrow, you will be treated with a goulish new logo we got from some random free clip art site. We actually change the logo up quite a bit for various occasions when the mood strikes our fancy, but most people don’t notice, either because […]

We just added a really helpful search feature that now allows you to include out of stock products in your search results. There are a slew of reasons why someone might want to find those as well, even if they are out of stock or discontinued, and aren’t available for sale. By default, […]
