FeedDemon banner contest winners 02/10/2004 02:47 AM

Yes terday I listed the finalists in the FeedDemon banner contest, and as promised I'm ready to announce the winners.

And the winner is...well, every one of the finalists is a winner! I found it impossible to choose a single winner among the finalists in each category, since I could see myself using all of their banners. So, all three of the finalists will receive a free copy of both TopStyle Pro and FeedDemon. My thanks again to everyone who submitted a design, and my congratulations to the three winners below:

  • Olegas Kurasovas
  • Albert Tanutama
  • Christopher Owens
Now that the contest is over, I've created a page of FeedDemon banners and buttons:

If you'd like to use any of these images on your site, please feel free to do so :)

Banner design contest for graphic
artists: Win a copy of FeedDemon and
TopStyle
01/22/2004 02:40 AM

FeedDemon logoDespite the fact that I used to be cartoonist, my graphic design skills are...well, limited. And while I'm a fast coder, it takes me hours to create even the simplest images - the banners and buttons I made for TopStyle felt like they took more time to create than TopStyle itsef.

Well, I now find myself needing banners for FeedDemon, and I'm trying desperately to avoid creating them myself. So, here's a chance for graphic designers to show off their talent and win a copy of both FeedDemon and TopStyle in the process. Here's what I need:

Two 468x60 FeedDemon ad banners
One 135x100 FeedDemon ad banner
One 120x60 FeedDemon ad banner

All images should be 256 color GIFs, and while animation is fine it shouldn't be overbearing. For branding purposes, each image should use some variation of the FeedDemon logo, which appears at the right of this entry. The contest starts now and ends January 31, 2004.

Just send your creations to me at info at bradsoft.com. The four winning designs will be showcased here soon after the contest ends.

Office Pranks - Bronze Medal Finalists


Office Pranks - Bronze Medal Finalists 06/17/2005 06:13 PM

dcp00861-med.jpgWell, I received quite a few pranks these past few days. Some good ones, some bad ones—mice in the blender? Come on Emeril!—and here's the best of the worst. The Bronze Medalists dealt almost exclusively with computerized mayhem, which is kind of a cop-out. But you're all special in your own ways.

  • The most basic prank came to us from just about everyone. It's good and important, don't get me wrong, but it's been played. Essentially, you take a screenshot of someone's desktop and make that the wallpaper. Hee hee.
  • Brendan Colby writes:
    We took a co-worker's monitor power cable and ran it through the wall into a separate power strip/surge protector so we could turn his monitor on/off at our leisure.

  • Rubin sent us an entire list of possible pranks including, but not limited to:
  • Taping up the microphone of someone's phone, causing them to speak louder.
  • Put a piece of clear tape on the glass of the photocopier. This is fun, but it has a second part to it. If the sheer frustration of someone having to make 100 copies all over again isn't enough, you could try making 100 copies of the piece of tape, and then load the paper into the paper feed. Funny to see people go crazy trying to figure out why the copy is coming up with this square on every page.
  • Post a For Sale on the lunchroom posterboard with your co-workers extension, offering to sell "One size adult XL outfit of baby clothing, including pacifier, bottle, bib and diaper."

  • James suggested using BoinkMail which allows you to send embarrassing things to your coworkers. Or just send embarrassing things to your co-workers.

    And the winner of the Bronze Medal is the big, pink office created by Dan. The performance and planning were quite ambitious, though the ultimate delivery could have been improved by a hit of Hello Kitty.

    Stay tuned for the Silver and Gold medalists later today.

    Office Pranks - The Silver Medal
    Finalists
    06/17/2005 06:11 PM

    unknown.jpgSome of the mid-level attacks include:

  • GADC's demonic Mac Scripting: "Make a Shutdown script and save it as an applet with a name that in no way implies its true nature. Then set it up to run on startup or on login. Now whenever the victim starts up or logs into the computer, it'll shut down. This one is killer for obvious reasons."
  • Tim's Birthday Chair:
    Disassemble a musical birthday card and carefully tape it underneath a coworkers chair so that when the chair is leaned back, the card activates. It took more than four hours for one coworker to discover the source of the intermittent noise!

  • And Brendan's Word hack:
    Subtle in execution, but so hot when it yields results. Change the AutoCorrect on a coworker's Word settings such that when he types in, say "facilitate," it gets auto-corrected to "faliatiate". Don't have the patience to wait for him to type facilitate? Change "the" to "teet", and so on.

    And the Silver Medal goes to Anthony and his ’84 Westfalia van cubicle mod. The van cost $400, but the joy it gives is priceless.

    Google Banner ads


    Google Banner ads 06/20/2004 05:17 AM

    Google introduces Adsense banner ads.

    Google has recently introduced banner ads for their adsense program, so perhaps all the talk about how text ads perform better is not true.

    You could argue that banner ads are a different thing, that they are richer media and thus brand advertising. But the difference is that Google's image ads do not pay publishers on an impressions basis, but for clicks, just like current contextual text ads.

    Adwords works. People click on text ads which are relevant to a search because they are actively looking for something. But perhaps when ads are served alongside static content, the conversion rate is lower, and perhaps people are starting to ignore them now that the novelty has worn off. So maybe in your face image ads are back, for good reason.

    The problem for Google is that image ads are not only 'in your face', they are very much in the face of a website. With the renewed confidence that content publishers now have, my guess is that CPM impressions based advertising will be back. If publishers have leverage they will want the guaranteed revenue that being paid for traffic gives them.

    Google got rid of all CPM advertising making a big bet on the best of both worlds CPC model that sits in between an advertiser and publishers needs. If CPM is back is that bad news for Google?

    [David Galbraith]


    Do you block banner ads?


    Do you block banner ads? 09/18/2004 05:21 PM
    We here at MacMerc.com have a love/hate relationship with banner advertisements. On the one hand they are annoying--especially those "Click the monkey and win a prize" ones. But on the other hand, they help us pay our hosting fees.

    Quite a while ago, as a public service to our readers, we posted an article on ad blocking and now that sufficient time has passed and our Google AdSense revenues are dwindling, we thought it might be the appropriate time to see if some method of ad blocking as become a standard part of your internet experience.
