Today I found out that Brandstack, A popular buy & sell logo design service, is closing due to significant fraud. Apparently people were using stolen credit cards to purchase logos and while Brandstack was middle manning the deal and paying out the designers, they ended up getting screwed.

From their home page:

Talk to any successfully entrepreneur about the impact of fraud online and you’ll hear some interesting stories. I have been fighting the impact of this fraud for months. Unfortunately, it’s ripple effects have caused serious waves… I did not have the flexibility or capital to withstand it.

I’ve used their service in the past, thought it was a good concept, very affordable and I feel bad about this.

They’ve also been rolling out new public features such as the news ticker, that many people have been complaining about and also a music app that appears to integrate with Spotify in order to share the music you’re listening to with your friends.

I followed these instructions to activate the developer (beta) version of Timeline on my own Facebook account but it is currently only visible by other developer accounts.

It’s purpose has always been, to provide a canvas for me to practice new web design trends, techniques and discuss topics of interest in my blog. Without much effort, I’ve met some of the made some of the most important connections in my life by writing articles and meeting people through my site.

A few weeks ago, I decided to try out tumblr. Thinking the simple UI and iPhone app would motivate me to start posting some web dev/WordPress articles and other types of content other than my meaningless twitter feed and random iPhone photos. But after a couple weeks, I decided it’s proprietary platform was too limited, and reverted back over to WordPress where I have more control/flexibility. I’m building a new custom WordPress Theme from the ground up, using the latest web technologies such as HTML5 & CSS3. Sometimes it’s good to de-clutter your stylesheets, frameworks and kind of reset. You’ll find you start to do things much more efficiently each time.

Anyways instead of completing the design off-line and then uploading it when I was done, I decided to start with a barebones stylesheet and build everything out live.
