brianreeder.com - I do what I want!

These are the Top 10 Top 10 (or Top 9, or Top 40) Lists I saw in 2007. Coming soon, the Top 10 Top 10 Top 10 Lists. And one or two of these may be from 2006 or 2008, but I really don’t care.

10. Oddorama.com did a post titled “10 Top Funny, Odd and/or Interesting Images of 2007“. The images are just as the title said - interesting, funny, and usually odd. This particular one made me chuckle - not only a funny image, but a great FedEx advertisement and a nice burn on UPS. Oddorama.com is all about weird news and the site claims to be “a labor of lust… a cheap trick”.

9. Lifehacker.com’s post called “Top 10 Obscure Google Search Tricks“. Some functions you didn’t know about Google’s search engine, but that will undoubtedly become a necessity in your life. And if they don’t, who cares? Lifehacker.com is everything to do with life… and hacking it.

8. AskMen.com does quite a few Top 10 lists, my favorite being “Top 10: Celebrity Mustaches“. Not only does this Top 10 list include Tom Selleck, but a variety of other superstars in the “celebrity mustache grind”. I wonder if AskMen.com optimized after this post dropped? I mean, “Tom Selleck” is THE most searched phrase in the history of mankind, or any kind. Tom - we love you, but stop doing guest spots on shows like “Boston Legal”. Oh god… I just said I loved Tom Selleck. Damn that mustache!

7. Lifehack.org is a great resource for valuable “Top 10″ lists, this one being my nerdy favorite: “Top 10 Firefox Extensions to Improve Productivity“. All of the extensions are functional, if not very exciting. But hey, the URL fixer seems ready to party - ” URL fixer will replace the common typos you enter when typing a Web site into the URL bar… The auto correct feature of URL fixer is very helpful. “. Whoaaa URL Fixer, pace yourself, you want to be able to stay up all night!

6. Deputy-Dog.com has a couple “Top 10’s” in my “Top 10 Top 10″, this one dealing with the “Top 9 Unique Structures Soon to be Built“. These buildings all seem very “back-to-the-future-esque”, and I love it. After these are all built, I am going to tour the world with the specific intention of visiting each of these monstrosities and spitting off the top of them. Not to hit anyone below, but to say I did. And to be in the Guinness Book of World Records - my ultimate goal in life.

At db clay, I’m responsible for printing our limited Ms. Frey wallets. We typically print these in batches of about 200, although some are as limited as 1. The print is known as Ms. Frey because of a lawyer lady that has helped us to become what we are today, out of the kindness of her heart.

This is a time-lapse of me prepping my screen print station and doing some test prints.

I was extremely excited to be able to print the new color-ways, as well as choose them. I printed about 10 different options, and everyone at db clay chose the top 2:

Additionally, here are a couple of the current Ms. Frey wallets we have available. View them all at db clay’s website. Use the promo code “brian” for 20% off your purchase

It always upsets me to see new users to social media sites try to gain traction quickly through cheap tricks. Those at the top worked hard to get themselves there and maintain that position. The methods they’ve used are not listed here… But here are 5 tricks I’ve noticed that do not work in social media sites:

1. Having a hot female as your profile picture. Daily I’ll get friend requests on these sites from guys who have a female (usually a celebrity) as a profile picture. This tells me two things
   1. The guy is trying to quickly build his account by having people add him as a friend.
   2. He didn’t do his homework and learn how to build a solid profile.
2. Spamming people you don’t know with just a link. At least give me the courtesy of saying “hey, please check this out, it’s about XYZ”. Is that too much to ask?
3. Pushing the same story/post over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over.
4. Re-posting the same content that you’ve seen get popular already. If you find something worth posting, do a little research. Make sure you’re the first to post about the content you find, and make it your own.
5. If u eva use inet slng n social media u will b shot.

I doubt this has been a very effective Digg campaign for Jason…

I cried with laughter when I saw this. It’s some Czech song from 1978 about Jozin and the Bog. I promise you’ll laugh too.
