What a bone headed move (thief wants to follow) … my wife logged into her Twitter account today and noticed a new follower had a very similar background as hers. No wait … it’s the exact background.
The only thing I can think of is that the copy-cat didn’t realize that I was the one who designed the background under the site I was running – eTweeple.com – obviously she must have thought, it’s ok to use the same background and then follow the very person she ripped it off of .
The worst part about this is the offending Twit, is not from the USA, and there’s no external link to try and reach this person. Therefore I’m left with reporting this to Twitter. What a joke … I understand there are policies in place to prevent people from abusing the take down notice, but come on.
Why should we as victims have to go through so much in order to protect our copyright. This was something I created for my wife, it’s special to us & unique. Getting to the Twitter backgrounds isn’t something the average person will know how to do either … which makes me wonder if there has been someone else who could have possibly scrapped the html of our backgrounds and possibly others, and illegally offering them to the public.
Anyway … after all the steps I have taken so far to get Twitter to take it down, I now must submit to them a DMCA take down notice.
My wife’s twitter – @sprockgirl
The offending Twit – @josyeblauth
This sucks!

My first statement – what a chicken shit cowardly thing to do … terminate me through email? … grow some balls and say it to my face!
So … many of you know we just had our newest arrival delivered Wednesday May 26th … we went to the hospital after Sarah’s water broke around 6:30a, before we left I emailed my employer that we were headed to the hospital and that I would be taking the rest of the week off to take care of moma and baby.
Baby arrived late Wednesday night, moma had a tubal surgery the next morning (10 babies is enough), and come Friday as we were trying to figure out if the girls were going to stay another night, and I was preparing for a quick run to the school to turn in finals work and take a couple of quizzes – I got an email
An email in my opinion should have waited until after the weekend, I mean WHY spoil our happy moments with news such as this.
The email stated that I was no longer going to be offered employment at my current employer, and the reason stated was because I left them hanging with a last minute absence when they’re trying to close a high profile client.
Are you F’ing kidding me? … I knew the communication at that place was bad but WOW … I’m sorry my baby decided to grace us with her presence when one of the co-owner’s of the company was off work recovering from a boob job – apparently she was the only one who knew I would be taking time off when the baby arrived … However, wouldn’t one assume there would be some time off when a new baby arrives, I mean when an employer tells you all along that we have flexible hours and encourages us when we need to take time off for family matters, wouldn’t you think it would be a given that I would be taking time off. … Is three days REALLY too much time.
Anyway … we’re looking at this as a blessing in disguise, the pay was crap anyway, and my work is far more valuable to be associated with that company anyway.
Oh and get this … they wanted to offer me contract work … I’m guessing so they would feel less guilty, like they were doing me a favor … well, they pay their contractors $100 per website … and they get $100 websites in return (crap work). I can’t turn in crappy work, it’ just not in me. That means they would be getting high quality work super cheap … WHY would I want to do that, when I can do the same work for my own clients, and be proud to place my name on the work.
So we move on, and this is a perfect opportunity for me to start promoting my newly launched web / graphics design business – http://prockstar.com
Please help me spread the word about ProckStar Creative – and if you’re on Facebook, we would appreciate a “like” vote.
Thank You … Scott

It’s almost here … my latest project … ProckStar Creative Studios
It was bound to happen, as it always does … it seems I’m always working on a new project. TPRweb stalled out (I slipped too many times with keeping it updated) and as I keep trying to fight against the lack of time, I often find myself at the losing end of that battle.
Starting my own web design has been something I always wanted to do, and have tested the waters a few time. After seeing so many poorly done websites, and companies doing web / graphic design with crappy work, I thought … I can certainly do better … so I’m getting ready to launch my own design company.
I hope to have the site available by the end of this weekend, but as time constraints and contract work I have picked up pulls preference, I may not be able to launch until next week.
The only thing that is slowing me down at this point is putting together my portfolio … putting it all together in a creative way takes time
Keep an eye open here for more information .
