]]> Comment on ShitBeGone!… by Tom Nardone http://www.stevemullis.net/2004/11/29/shitbegone/comment-page-1/#comment-4086 Tom Nardone Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:15:17 +0000 http://www.stevemullis.net/blog/?p=2502#comment-4086 Hi, You and I have something in common. We were both fans of a now-defunct product called “Shit Be Gone”. You wrote about ShitBeGone and I used to sell it on my website, ShopInPrivate.com. It was a fun product and it sold quite well for me. Unfortunately, it died and left us both with a dead end. Over the past few years I’ve been trying to convince the ShitBeGone company to revive their brand, but they haven’t been willing. So, I’ve recently decided to launch a similar product that learns from their mistakes. “Crap Away” is going to be my new brand of Toilet Paper. My goal is to get a fun brand of toilet paper into regular stores around the country. I think it is a pretty cool project and I’m hoping you will help me. At the risk of being long-winded, I’ll let you know how it can work. What I Am Doing: I’m “Crowdsourcing” the project, which means I am asking people to promise to buy the toilet paper before I make it. If I get enough people signed up, the project “triggers” and everyone is charged for their toilet paper (through Amazon.com’s payment system), then I put Crap Away into production. If I don’t reach the goal, no one is billed and we will all have to endure another few decades of quilting ladies and furry bear commercials. I’m using the crowdsourcing site Kickstarter.com. Here is a link to the project. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/CalmTom/crap-away-launching-a-fun-and-truthful-toilet-pape?ref=live Crowdsourcing is awesome because it means something. If I do reach the goal, it is not just a sign that I raised the money, but also an indication that people are truly interested in a crazy brand of toilet paper. With the funds raised I’ll order a whole crapload of toilet paper, ship most of it out to the supporters and then bring myself and the rest of the TP to a tradeshow. It is there that I will schmooze to the best of my ability and hope to get a large store chain to pick up the brand. If that happens, we are home free. People will have the ability to Crap Away everywhere. What I Need From You: Right now the project needs attention. If you could write about it, people would hear about the project and then we will see if people are interested an honest brand of toilet paper in their store. If they like the idea, they will pledge (essentially pre-ordering), if not, I’ll be one drunk son-of-a-gun on January second of 2012. I appreciate your efforts. Maybe together we can actually make a change, albeit a silly change in this world. Hi,

]]> Comment on Review: iPhone 4S by Damon http://www.stevemullis.net/2011/10/18/review-iphone-4s/comment-page-1/#comment-4030 Damon Thu, 20 Oct 2011 02:13:59 +0000 http://www.stevemullis.net/?p=5098#comment-4030 A lot of people are complaining that this iPhone is pretty much the same as the iPhone 4. Even though it is based on that phone, it shouldn’t be a reason not to get this phone. The iPhone 4 had a few issues with it, but it was not a bad design at all. Apple simply improved on something that was a strong point for them still. I did get myself the iPhone 4S mainly because I had the iPhone 3GS and it was time for an upgrade. The thing that I noticed was so much better on the iPhone 4S is the speed, and that is what appealed to me most. Streaming is so much smoother now. I use the DISH Remote Access app from my employer DISH Network to stream shows and movies that are on my DVR, as well as live TV, and I don’t have any buffering moments with the 4S. This is really a great phone, and just because it looks like last years model doesn’t mean it should be out as an option.

]]> Comment on Because there are not enough opinions on the Internet already by Jason Bhatti http://www.stevemullis.net/2011/09/04/because-there-are-not-enough-opinions-on-the-internet-already/comment-page-1/#comment-3902 Jason Bhatti Mon, 12 Sep 2011 15:35:24 +0000 http://www.stevemullis.net/?p=4972#comment-3902 I feel ya buddy It's hard to get inspired about a new blog to write. I got discouraged from my old company taking my blog down because of the new site redesign what a bunch of BS. But now that I blog just for myself on my own website I feel more freedom and limitlessness. There definitely needs to be more game reviews. Do you play Black Ops?? If not you should get down and the get the DLC Rezurrection add-on for Black Ops you won't be disappointed. Oh also check out Zemanta since your using Wordpress it's native and you can simple turn it on. It's another way to get inspired -Zemanta gives you rich content options for your blog. Hope this helps. Cheers, Jay I feel ya buddy It’s hard to get inspired about a new blog to write.

I didn't get to play either of these games but it kinda sounds like Devil May Cry. If you get a chance I suggest playing that one. I like the Sony makeup sex comment hilarious.
