So I log in this morning to my LJ and my template is gone. Replaced by the standard boring templates that are issued upon registration. Now my favorite wm board recently had a thread about using default templates and even tho there is like a 99.99% chance the internet police wouldn't catch me..my perchant for attracting 'enforcement' made me rush to get something new up. This isn't what i want but i'm working on it.

In my ever growing quest for the new, the unique and the unusual.. i ran across these links.. now each of them spawned a million ideas in my head. See if they can 'spawn' any in yours??

First is a pretty kewl little site:

http://www.picturepaper.com/artists.aspx

Most everyone in my circle of 'friends' knows i'm in the process of creating with my friend Tiffany, a line of very unique and cool greeting cards that address a segment of society that has been overlooked. Shunned might also be a good word, but due to media coverage it has become a bit more acceptable. Christians 'hate' it but since when did i ever follow what someone else thought? So I'm thinking that in addition to offering the cards we can upload and print rolls of paper and offer matching paper as well. Camgirls: if you do custom videos or send stuff to your members.. consider getting a roll and wrapping your item in it to make it more personal. it comes 24" x 6ft so that's quite a bit you can wrap. Additional feet are $1.00 and it will be a unique way to connect with your clients.

Got an idea? Need money to make it happen?

This site links individual investors with borrowers at various interest rates over different periods of time. It can be for most anything and it is run a bit like a bid service. We might have to put one of these together as a group to make our own webcam site.. JUST KIDDING. There is also a UK based one as well for those who are from the other side of the pond.

I've been trying to figure out a bedroom design for my little front room where I sleep and is my office.

This is perfect for me. all combined into one and it is also good for sitting. I can have a traditional bed on one side and this unit on the other with my desk at the end. This is really a new hotel concept starting in the 2 terminals at Heathrow and Gatwick airports in London. but the possibilities are endless considering they use inside windows to provide lighting instead of outside. A bigger concept than the units in Tokyo that are like self contained coffins (i stay in one once it was pretty cool.. everything popped out or down and you just slide out in the morning). I like this much better because at least you can stand up.

Got a book to publish?

Ok this might not be the answer for everyone because they are a bit pricey. BUT I am a big believer in sell first, publish later. CAMgirls.. this would be a really good addition to your shopping carts. You could include 'exclusive' pictures.. personalized text to the buyer change them like 50.00 and then publish once you receive payment. NOW the restriction here is (like flickr) is that you cannot publish Pornographic pictures BUT you can do softcore.. suggesstive and you can write to each individual client so that they fell special. publishing 1 is like 29.95 + shipping. you can charge like 60-75 each person.. that's at least a 100% return. Once you have the basic premise for your little book story then just change it up to fit your client.

Ok and finally.. maybe..

for those of you who change your wallpaper like a camho changes her dildos..
