This post is really for my own use but if you find it useful then great! I use this code to force WWW in my URL’s. It works for me in Joomla and standard XHTML sites. If using it for Joomla you will see RewriteEngine On already in the .htaccess file, just copy the last two lines and put in under RewriteEngine On then save. For everyone else you have to include RewriteEngine On or it doesn’t work.

So I was on Twitter sometime ago and I think I witnessed the first ever interview on Twitter between Rob Dyrdek (@robdyrdek) and 5ones (@5ones). It’s cool to see these things happen out in public instead of on the phone or email. It really grasps the whole social media aspect.
They were talking about Rob’s new movie Street Dreams, which is out now on limited release so that means I won’t be able to see it anytime soon. Also about the new season of Fantasy Factory, which you need to check out if you haven’t because it is bad ass!
Click on the images below to see the full interview between them.
I pay attention to a lot of commercials, I guess it started happening when I began working at an advertising agency.
I believe it was in 08′ when they started the Dan Hesse commercials which was a good idea especially putting his email in it but then everyone started to hate them because Sprint was still declining in customer satisfaction.
I have Sprint and can’t cancel it for the life of me. Well without paying an ETF which I don’t want to pay and I shouldn’t since they voided their contract by raising fees and even though I have had good contact talking to executive care until I said I want to cancel and now they wont return my emails but that is not what I am talking about in this post.
So anyway I like facts, social networking, web 2.0 sites, etc. and thats what Sprint is doing. They have gotten rid of Dan Hesse and replaced him with non intrusive ads for the “now network” and you don’t even know until the end of the commercial and thats how great advertising works.
This is the latest TV spot, #3, for the new Star Trek movie coming out in the US May 8, 2009. If you want to see the other spots let me know and I will post them.
I just launched DesignTick.com, a social bookmarking site for website designer, developers as well as anyone in the graphic design world.
Anyone can submit links to articles by creating a free account and the will be displayed on the upcoming tab until being published to the front page by an administrator or by getting enough “ticks” (votes) from people who visit the site.
Ticking a article doesn’t require registration.
If you would like to add a button on your website or blog you can easily save the below image and this is the code that it uses to submit:

Back when Consumerist posted this I got the same text and replied stop and got a message telling me that I was now opted out of AT&T marketing messages.
Well just now I got another text from AT&T that says “AT&T Free Msg: Your phone can now dial & roam internationally. See att.com/wirelessinternational for rates & att.com/wirelesstraveltips for iPhone travel tips.”
Again I replied “Stop” and got “AT&T AUTO REPLY: You have Opted out of AT&T marketing messages. Please do not REPLY to this message.”
So what I did before is not considered opting out? And I also don’t remeber opting for these even if they are free!
