So I bet everyone’s been wandering why Sentences hasn’t been updated. And then I know you’re scratching your head saying, “Damn, this site is dieing already?” Well fear not my fellow warriors of the digital millennium. We’re still very alive, and kicking. Anthony has been working on a few articles which he will be releasing shortly. Me on the other hand, I’m working on some other, bigger things.

Sentences will be launching a new design soon. It’s based off of Quommunication’s Wordpress Theme and will be implemented into Sentences soon enough. If you’re a night bird like me, you may have done some snooping and seen the theme up late at night while I do fixes and changes and customize the theme so it feels like home. Furthermore, we’ll be implementing a real forum system soon (after the redesign). Finally, everything is finally coming together.

So in the mean time, here’s some other articles to hold you down. I’m sorry to keep you all short on updates, and I really do as if I’m cheating you all out of an experience, but keep in mind that we’re working on things, and we aren’t just sitting dormant.

Finger Linkin’ Good 2/21/08:

• Our good friends at FreelanceSwitch posted: Freelancers Beware of Receiving Payments via Credit Card through PayPal
• I stumbled across a funny little Web 2.0 Business Plan Generator.
• Smashing Magazine posted: Drunken Monkey Photoshop Tutorial
• Zac Johnson made $860,538.38 PROFIT in 4 months. Find out how (no, it’s not an eBook).
• One of our favorite companies, 37Signals posted an article On Writing.
• Bittbox found 16 really useful Dingbat fonts.
• You The Designer posted: 30 Photos that inspired me to learn Photography
• Fresh Home posted: The Worlds Most Inspiring and Creative Hotel Rooms (Like Threadless? You’ll love this).
• Turbo Milk posted a great article titled: 10 Mistakes in Icon Design (VERY HANDY!)

Anyways, that’s it for now. Keep checking back to see the new site and forum launching. It should be in a couple of days (pending if I can find the right person to do it. Which reminds me, if you’re interested in customizing the News theme from Quocommunication, please contact me).

Regards,
Bryan

So I’m working on a couple of articles for next week, and it’s Friday. And I’ll be honest with you…I’ve had a pretty intense week. So, I’m going to do something I probably shouldn’t do, and that’s take the rest of the afternoon off. Sorry guys, I’m not a machine!

But, that doesn’t mean I’m going to leave you without some good readin’. After all, you did come to Sentences to see some…well, sentences. I guess every now and then when I’m this tied up with no completed articles to post, I’ll leave you with some nice linkage to others. This is an interesting link round up so be sure to check them all out!

On Young Go Getter, Monica O’Brien, a guest writer, published Word of mouth: the power of recommendation, and how even her Baby Boomer Father recommended Paramore.

Jack from BizStudent found an interesting video about entrepreneurs and their one cardinal rule: Innovate or Die.

Our friends over at Freelanceswitch gave some tips to freelancers about what to do when Meeting a New Client.

Ryan Carson, the founder of Carsonified (the guy who gave his staff iPhones) made a very entertaining and original video about How to Build a Web Startup.

TypeInShirts Blog writes about how Nike is marketing their newest Jordan sneakers, the XX3. It’s very interesting to read how how they reinforce the brand, and how they are creating buzz by making it one of the most expensive sneakers available.

Gizmodo posted a video about the highly buzzed viral marketing stunt that took place Tokyo, Japan. It involves lasers, lights, water, serpents. Come on, just watch the video.

Well, this is all I have for this week. I think this’ll hold you down for a day or two while I finish up the articles. I’m moving back home to my house (I was living with my parents over Winter Session) and so I’ve got my hands full with packing and such, so just give me some time and you’ll get your dose of Sentences for the weekend.

BTW - I sent out a few of the prizes to all those who responded. I’m still awaiting the rest of you, so be sure to send me an email if you won.

Be safe, have a great weekend.
Bryan
