PutPlace is asking you to “show your data loss disaster face” to win a one year subscription for 100GB data storage, plus $200 USD Amazon gift certificate.
I created the contest banners for Darren (PutPlace is a client of Capulet Communications), so I thought I’d share it with y’all. You could have a lot of fun with your entry, dramatizing a story that happened to you or even making one up.
PutPlace is a recently launched service that solves several problems shared by many of us these days. It offers
- easy, secure, version-controlled back-ups
- easy sharing of content to multiple sites or devices e.g. photos to Flickr and Picasa
- access to your files from anywhere — since it backs up your computer, you can easily access your files from anywhere with an internet connection.
I haven’t tried it yet, but since that feature set really kicks my external hard-drive’s butt, and the beta service is free too… I think I will. Never hurts to have more than one backup just in case!

As regular readers know, I’ve been brainstorming business names for myself for a while. (OK, since forever!) I just came across these articles with interesting perspective on brand names:
- Brand Names that Zag - A list of good vs. bad brand names from different niches, e.g. Olay (sounds soft like the skin it promises) vs. Noxzema (sounds toxic and is difficult to spell… I had to look it up just to write this.)
- The 6 Naming Styles - Brand names can be arbitrary (Apple), descriptive (Netflix), and so on. The distinction betwen Suggestive and Metaphorical is fuzzy for me, though. Aren’t metaphors suggestive?
Looks like there’s other great stuff to read on that site. Hat tip to Chris Wilson of Fresh Peel for the link.

I was about to send a note to a client, a speechwriter who sells seminars etc. from his site, to tell him he should check out E-Junkie. Then I remembered, hey, I have this thing called a blog… maybe others could use this info too. Read more »

I’ve had a pretty busy week, even frenzied at times. I was just thinking about how Busy-ness keeps me from getting to Important Stuff even though most of the things I’m spending time on feel Important at the time. And I was thinking maybe I should blog something about that, when I read Eric Karjaluoto’s Random Observations Part 1. All of them resonate with me but of course #7 was rather synchronous: Read more »

Last week at Cossette Convergence I met Dan Sorce, a sound designer and member of the band FNDMNTL. He was kind enough to share some of their tunes with me, and all I can say is WOW. I’ve been needing some new stuff to work to, and this fits the bill. When I’m working I can’t have too many lyrics (or at least not too many that I understand) or I lose focus. But some lovely beats and melodies really help me get in the flow.
The FNDMNTL site (man is that hard to type) has some sample tunes on it for you to check out. (Check your speaker volume - the music played without prompting.) So go have a listen, and let me know what you think or if you have any other tips on music I should check out. It’s definitely time for more new music in my life!
