I need your help fixing my address book. April 10, 2010 2:00 pm

Last night I cleaned up my address book and realized that all of my data is pretty inconsistent. In order to help me organize it, I’m going to “crowd source” the task to you all.

Here’s the info I need:

If you’d like, include a photo with this info and email it to info [at] augiemania.com (obviously fill in the info you want, don’t feel obligated to give me any info you don’t want to share. (alternatively, if you have a vCard, you can just email me that. here’s mine. )

Also, your info is 100% safe. I’m not going to spam you or give out your info w/o asking you first.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Presenting Chatroullete Users to Themselves March 25, 2010 4:24 pm

(for the DAPS branded version, please visit http://dogandponyshowwebsite.com/presenting-chatroullete-users-w-themselves to be published Friday, 3/26/10 at 11am.)

Using Manycam, I thought it may be interesting to present the users I encounter with a video of themselves.

I found that there are 2 primary users of chatroullete, those who are looking to “entertain” their “partner” and those who are looking to be “entertained” by their partner. Presenting these users with themselves threw a wrench in their expectations and provided me with some interesting results.

The music is not mine, it was composed by Angelo Badalamenti for Twin Peaks. It was the only music on my laptop (I keep my media on a harddrive that was elsewhere at the time of editing). The music ended up very much shaping the video, making it much more chilling than I originally intended.

DAPS Redesign March 21, 2010 1:26 am

This past tuesday marked the 3rd redesign to Dog and Pony Show.

Our focus was to make the site more “bloggy” easier to read, and more interactive. While the interactivity is still in the works, we took a huge step forward.

The theme was created with one thing in mind, easier development between sites. DAPS is now an 8 blog stable, and we wanted to create a uniform layout that was easily customizable for each site to have it’s own flavor.

I’ve added a ton of theme functions that allow for site takeovers, specific stylesheets/images per blog and other cool little function. I’ve also developed a number of widgets catered exactly to DAPS’ needs.

Essentially, when a new blog is needed, the theme and plugins are uploaded and roughly 5 lines of code are added, and a checkbox is clicked. The nessecary artwork obviously needs to be uploaded and a style sheet for each flavor is created to set colors to what they need to be. This cuts my development time per blog by hours. A two day operation is now a 3 hour operation. SWEET!

Concerning the design itself, I based the layout off of the Cleanr theme and made a number of modifications, and rewrote the style sheet. It uses the 960 Grid System so it’s really easy to modify.

I’m really proud of the design as it greatly improves the readability of the posts and all around just looks cleaner.

Today, VF_DOS_ and I made the new video for Wonder Lock off of his new album Sour Scene (which is damn good imo, seriously).

Here is the video:

I also made a booklet for VF_DOS_ containing all of the post-its found in the video. It’s a one-of-a-kind item. Here are some photos:
