FeedMyInbox is a new service that recently caught my eye, due to the fact they make things very simple. They are offering you blogs, feeds and news delivered magically to your e-mail inbox. All you have to do is visit the web site and enter a web site RSS feed and your e-mail address.
Once you find a feed you would like to subscribe to, simply type in the web address (URL) for the site on FeedMyInbox.com. We will find the feed(s) available on the page, and you can select what you want to subscribe to. Once you subscribe to a feed, we will send an email to the address you specified. Simply click the link that is enclosed to confirm that your email address is correct, and you are all set!
It is an interesting service, to say the least.
Of course, if you want to get my feed in your inbox, that is easy enough to do without this service. Just click this link to subscribe to e-mail updates, so you never miss a post.
There is something kind of comforting about having space based wallpaper. Maybe I spend too much time staring off into my empty desktop thinking about the meaning of life? Perhaps I have some deep seeded love for Star Wars that I am not ready to admit? Here are the best of the space related wallpapers I have seen as of late…
Hey for those of you who wondered what it is do for a day job, here’s your chance. Was looking back this morning at an interview I did for the Lunarpages monthly newsletter. Here is how things start out…
Hey Mitch! Thanks for taking some time out from writing our Newsletter articles to handle a quick interview.
Not a problem. Nice to be on the other side of the content stream every once in a while in front of my close and personal amigos, the always awesome Lunarpages clients.
You’re another one of those people who work for Lunarpages and does just about everything in every department. So what’s your official job title and what do you do for LP?
I don’t know if I have ever been given one? I guess officially I would be considered a Level One Customer Service Representative, Senior Forum Moderator, Content Writer, Sales Guy, Blogger and Official Odd Jobs Associate. Think I almost got everything covered there.
You can check out the rest of the interview on the web site. Had been a while since I had done any sort of interview, hope I wasn’t rusty. I guess what they say about, “time flying by when your having fun” is true. End of next month will mark my two year anniversary of being with the company, and hopefully I’ll have many more years to come.
The Web Hosting Show was great this week. I got a one on one interview with Paul Hirsch of the AIHSP (the Association of Internet and Hosting Service Providers) explaining this new web hosting group, what they hope to do and how you too can join up. Check out the podcast for the entire interview: What is the AIHSP? - Episode 162 of the Web Hosting Show!
Here are some of the questions I asked Paul about the alliance:
Where did the idea of staring up AIHSP begin?
After looking over a lot of the goals the AIHSP has set, a lot of them seem to be aimed to benefit employees. What about contracted workers, who often not given the same rights as an employee?
I have one major concern, what happens to the little web hosts?
What can people and businesses do if they want to get involved?
To learn more about what the AIHSP wishes to do, the best place to check out first (after you listen to the podcast, of course) is the AIHSP Goals page. If you want to learn more about this exciting group or get involved yourself, check out aihsp.org.
Recently picked up the DVD collection of Captain N: The Game Master. Now many of you probably don’t remember it, but I sure do. I was around 7 or 8 years old when it was in it’s first run and is one the the few Saturday morning cartoons I still have an itch to watch even today.
Here is a pretty good summary of the plot of the show:
The premise of the show concerns average California teen and Nintendo fan Kevin Keene and his faithful dog Lucky, who are both pulled into their game system to Videoland, an animated world populated by heroes and villains from various Nintendo games. There, Kevin must assist the N Team–a group formed by Princess Lana, Icarus (from “Kid Icarus”), Simon Belmont (from “Castlevania”) and Mega Man (from the game of the same name)–in defeating Mother Brain (from “Metroid”) and her henchmen from conquering Videoland.
Still doesn’t sound familiar? Here’s the intro (the music still gets stuck in my head to this day) to the show:
If you can put aside all the storylines that don’t exactly match up with video game history, it is still a fun show to look back on. I also stick by the same thing that I thought way back in 1989 - Mother Brain sounds like a drag queen.
