Andrew Garrett’s Outboard Brain

I find stuff and things on the net.  Some of you might like some of them.  Not every day (although this makes 2 in a row), but this is quite a fun way to record stuff (and things) I stumble across…

Q:”What do you do if you’re the challenger brand, now you’ve won?”

A:”Redefine your Target market”

I’d read through these, but I’m trying to actually be productive, not just read about how to.

I think this site is kinda pretty…  Thanks MG!

Anyone got any recommendations for a hosting environment that supports multiple servers, with an RFC 1918 network between them (for inter-server communication).  Just wondering….

I love it when someone gets challenged to put their money where their mouth is… even moreso when they might be able to teach me something by doing it :)  There’s some interesting conversation in the comments as well.

Over on The Engine, Warren gets people to remake/remodel characters from comics.  For a throw-away project, there’s some outstandingly good art in these threads… Supergirl and The Green Lama are the most recent two.

Personal Branding and Blogging – Once I figure out how I want to brand myself, I’ll be moving along this path :)  But why?  This diagram pretty much explains it…

Here’s more on personal branding.

Celebs, minus makeup, minus photoshop…  aka how to take good photos without a safety net…  (hint:  lighting, lighting, lighting).

Universcale from Nikon.  No idea how this helps them sell anything, which makes it even cooler :)

Flickr’s Cinderella Story (and more)

A tarantula a foot wide, that eats chickens.  Cool!

Toys!  Someone buy me toys?

How to use slow-sync flash.

Sometimes I wonder…  (fortunately, I’m also paranoid enough to maintain fallback positions.)

I think I just found my new bible.

I read, or at least subscribe to, a shitload of weblogs.  I’m slowly in the process of trimming out the fat, the ones that don’t add value to my life.  I’m also looking for some new ones to add, for recommendations from you lot.  So, what’ve you got? Gimme your top 5, especially if you think they’re something I don’t already read.

Educate me!  Send me stuff to read, shape me, mold me in your image!

I’m out.  Night!
