If you have a RRoD (red rings of death) Xbox 360 that is either out of warranty or a voided warranty (opened case) please get in touch with me.

I have a team project in my instructional design class where we have to create an instructional guide, we chose the Xbox 360 RRoD to fix. The problem is we don’t have one to fix.

We’re looking for someone who would allow us to fix theirs at no charge and when we’re finished with the project we will give it back.

Please keep in mind, since this is a school project and we’re not expert technicians, we can not guarantee results … our grades however will be better if we can successfully fix one, so that is our goal

If you have an Xbox you want to lend us, just leave a comment, enter your email address in the comment form and I will get in touch with you.

Thanks … Scott

As a way to build up my design portfolio I’m offering to install WordPress blogs for free, as well as doing basic theme customization such as custom headers and color changes.

All I ask in return is that you use my preferred webhost and sign up through my affiliate link. I use Hostgator, but in order to get the free installation you must sign up through me.

You get unlimited hosting for less than $10/mo and your first month is only 1 cent. If you stick around past your third month I will even pay for your 4th and 5th month.

If you’re looking for a great spot to spend a little R&R and you’re looking for something with a beach front view.

You need to take a look at the Camano Island Vacation Rental I found online.

http://camanoislandvacationrentals.com

If you’ve never stayed in a private rental vs a hotel/motel along the Washington coast, then you’re definatey in for a treat. This rental has three bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, large garage, 2 decks w/ barbeque facility, fully stocked kitchen and a washer & dryer. It also has a fire pit on the beach.

The rates are $150/night with a 2 night min. Think about this for a moment … with three bedrooms, do you think you could invite a few friends who could share in the costs? If you divide the cost three ways you’re looking at $50/night for a house on the beach. You won’t get even close to that with a hotel/motel rental.

Be sure to check out the Camano Island Local Events to enhance your stay at this beach cottage rental in Camano Island.

After recently learning about Animoto’s video service, I decided to upload some pics of our kids (all 9 of them) to test the service out.

I am so impressed I want to do more pics to see how they render the video. I have to say this video turned out PERFECT and all I did was upload the photos then clicked through the prompts with their default settings.

Here’s another quick post of a video I just came across. Some of the stats and information in this video will blow your mind. We are definately living in some crazy times.

If you haven’t seen this guy chances are you will hear about him soon. His video hit the front page of Perez Hilton and the views to this video when I first saw it were at 14k – last check (only 30 minutes later) the views broke past 40k.

I’m a fan of recording music with computers and this guy makes it look easy. Very Very talented for sure !

I recently launched a new website aimed at the Twitter crowd. Ever since I closed down TPRweb I have been trying to find something that interests me, something that can keep me writing and engaged online.

I still had a desire to make something of the knowledge I have with eBay which is why I decided to launch MyAuctionLife.com. As much as I tried to get excited about the site, it was easy to put it off, much like I did with TPRweb in the last months of it’s life.

After noticing how much I was getting involved with Twitter, and how main stream it has become, I decided to see if there was something I could contribute to the Twittersphere.

That’s when the thought of a site geared towards the people who use Twitter, not just a tips site (as if we need another) but rather a site that showcases Twitter users. Thus the site http://eTweeple.com was created.

In celebration of the eTweeple launch, I have decided to create professional Twitter backgrounds free of charge in exchange for people helping me spread the word about eTweeple. I’m not talking about some easy templated background you see offered for free all over the net, I’m talking about professional grade one of a kind backgrounds. You can see examples of the ones I have created so far at eTweeple.

If you know of any Twitter users that the world should know about, leave a comment on any post at eTweeple and we’ll take a look.

See you at eTweeple … Scott

There’s an experiment I just launched, and I’m really hoping it won’t come back to bite me!

I’m all about growing my Twitter numbers naturally, but I have to be honest, I HATE the 2000 limit on who I can follow until my followers reach 2000. Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand why Twitter placed the limitation. The bad people ruined it for the good, too many people were gaming the system to gain a huge number of followers and then they would unfollow.

If anyone reads my Twitter posts they will see that I’m not the type to post spam, I don’t even talk about my businesses on Twitter. I’m of the opinion if people want to know more about me or what I’m all about they will visit my blog.

So why is it that I want to get past the 2000 followers mark? It’s very simple … I want the freedom to follow anyone that I want without worrying about hitting Twitters limit. You see … currently I have to think and chose those I follow carefully so I don’t hit that 2000 mark. I had it happen a couple of times before I realized there was a limit. On several occasions I wasn’t able to follow key people with similar interests as I.

So naturally when I saw a post that claimed to be able to add more than 19,000 followers to my Twitter account I was curious. After looking things over, I decided to give it a shot.

If you’re curious like I was take a look at TweeterGetter.com and I will post my results in the comments each day to let you know if my followers have increased or not. Sound fair?

I found this little distraction extremely funny, so I thought I would share it with you.

“What is your name?”…

When you find you’re having a stressful day or week, perhaps some silliness can break up the day, here’s a little dose:

Here’s an excerpt from a children’s book titled, “Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants” by Dave Pilkey.

In the book there’s an evil professor who forces everyone to assume a new name.

Following the instructions below you can now find your new name.

Use the third letter of your first name to determine your new first name:

a = poopsie
b = lumpy
c = buttercup
d = gidget
e = crusty
f = greasy
g = fluffy
h = cheeseball
i = chim-chim
j = stinky
k = flunky
l = boobie
m = zippy
n = pinky
o = goober
p = doofus
q = slimy
r = loopy
s = snotty
t = tulefel
u = dorkey
v = squeezit
w = oprah
x = skipper
y = dinky
z = zsa-zsa

Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name:

a = apple
b = toilet
c = giggle
d = burger
e = girdle
f = barf
g = lizard
h = waffle
i = cootie
j = monkey
k = potty
l = liver
m = banana
n = rhino
o = bubble
p = hamster
q = toad
r = gizzard
s = pizza
t = gerbil
u = chicken
v = pickle
w = chuckle
x = tofu
y = gorilla
z = stinker

Use the fourth letter of your last name to determine the second half of your new last name:

a = head
b = mouth
c = face
d = nose
e = tush
f = breath
g = pants
h = shorts
i = lips
j = honker
k = butt
l = brain
m = tushie
n = chunks
o = hiney
p = biscuits
q = toes
r = buns
s = fanny
t = sniffer
u = sprinkles
v = kisser
w = squirt
x = humperdinck
y = brains
z = juice

As an example, President Barack Obama’s new name is Loopy Toilettushy.

Please respond in the comments with your new name, and remember that children laugh on average 146 times a day, adults laugh on average 4 times a day.

Put more laughter in your life!!

Enjoy … Scott
