This is an interesting spam email I received yesterday that looked like it was from Twitter.
But, upon further examination, and something everyone should do BEFORE you click a link, is to hover over the link and see what appears. You just might learn something the easy way.
Remember, always be careful what links you click on in your email.
You’ll probably need to download the silverlight plug-in for this, but it’s interesting in a not fun sort of way…
Or to see it on the BP site, go here:
Just as we’re building more and more Facebook apps (stay tuned, they’re pretty cool) it seems more users are bailing on Facebook and committing Facebook Suicide, if they can find the link. So, in case your curious, here’s a link to more info about this.
How do I delete my Facebook account?
I was recently logging in somewhere and came across the best re-captcha I’ve seen. Fortunately, I got the spelling correct!
I’m a firm believer that change is good. Good for everyone involved. It always has been and I expect it always will be. Sometimes we know right away and sometimes it takes a bit longer to understand this. For me, this change is very good. The last few months has seen a transition for me from FreshCurrent to Vermilion Design + Interactive in Boulder. The change is very good and I’m very excited about it.
Below is my official release:

April 1997 was a long time ago.
The last 13 years was definitely an amazing experience. I followed the currents wherever they led me with this business and recently it became obvious that the next part of my journey no longer included FreshCurrent. So, with a HUGE thank you to everyone I’ve come into contact for the last 13 years, FreshCurrent is officially closing down.
If you need to get a hold of me for business reasons, please continue to use the email address you have, or you can get a hold of me for a while at info [at] freshcurrent DOT com. Phone service won’t last long (and isn’t checked much) so email is truly the best way to get a hold of me. If you still need help with your web project, contact me and I’ll help to make sure you’re taken care of either with the firm I’m with now, or another.
With eternal gratitude, Mark Peesel
P.S. for those of you with domain registrations, spam filtering and/or email newsletter subscriptions, your services will not be interrupted, but I’ll contact you individually as accounts are migrated. Thanks!
So it’s been a while, but I did finally get my mail again. It took almost a month and many phone calls, but the the good ol’ United States Post Office figured it out and started sending me mail again. Phew. I know it was something that many of you were concerned about, so thank you. If it happens to any of you, now I know what to do and can help you out. Basically, nothing.
More soon as I’m beginning to get active again. It’s been too long.
Happy New Year!
So, A month ago today, our executive suites notified everyone that they couldn’t pay their bills and were shutting down operations in our Lakewood office. And, to top it off, all of us were being evicted (apparently one firm had JUST moved in the week before). We had or have, until December 1st to vacate.
Almost 3 weeks ago, after I forwarded all of our mail to a new PO Box, I suddenly stopped receiving mail. Nothing but an empty box day after day. I talked to my local post office and they all seemed fine to them, in fact, the postal worker said “the check’s in the mail” referring to having to wait for my mail patiently and that it would probably arrive. Not overly helpful and no other suggestions. He basically left me to deal with it on my own time and not his. Hm.
I called the Post office near our office and a nice woman (Leslie) said that in fact there had been a glitch in the software and that all of my mail was sitting in the forwarding facility somewhere here in Colorado, and that no, I couldn’t go there to collect my mail. She wouldn’t even tell me where it was; only that it was the facility where all the lonely pieces of mail went to get the little yellow forwarding stickers put on. She took my number and said she’d call back.
3 days later and nothing,until I finally get a call back (today) and it’s Leslie saying she found my mail and where should she send it. (I found it quite amusing that she would mail it to me). But, she guarantees I’ll have it tomorrow, apparently by some inter-office mail system and not the “real” mail system, because if you can’t trust your own system, you better have a trustworthy back up.
So, after more than 2 weeks of no mail, I should finally get it all tomorrow – if it doesn’t get lost in the mail again… I’ll let you know.
Like all of you, I have family members and friends who have served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces in some capacity. Thank you to all of you and your families for your willingness and desire to make this huge sacrifice. Come home safely!
Google seems to agree…
So, I know the actual birthday was October 8, but, I still wanted to create a bar code with one of the many free bar code generators out there. So, happy belated birthday to the Bar code! (Here’s the one I used).
I recently downloaded the free iPhone app from Photoshop.com where you can take a picture and do fun things to it on your iPhone. It’s really pretty cool! Here’s a screen shot of a photo in editing mode:

You should download it, it’s really cool!
I edited a few photos, then uploaded to my free account online, and then logged int to view the photos on my phone. One would think that if anyone would know that the iPhone can’t yet do flash, it would be Adobe.

I also like how they tell me to get the latest version of flash as if they couldn’t tell I’m using an iPhone. This could have been a nice ajaxy site too.
But, Adobe, please don’t change the app, it’s really great! Let’s get flash to work on the iPhone!!
Here’s a sample I did in about 3 taps. It was fun, easy and it has many options…
