The GoYin Store: Buy GoYin Wholesale

This just in, there is some talk that goyin is going to be spear-heading a reality show based on mlm marketing, the winner winning $20K and a hot tub. Anyone who has information on this, please comment here! The rumor mills are churning… lets see what comes out.

Update: Goyin Forum

Since I was young, I knew I was goyin to be someone important and rich. That’s why I’m goyin to join this MLM. If I want a rich life, I am going (going?) to have to start thinking on my toes. That’s why Goyin will be my life’s focus for the next couple hours.

As you have probably recently noticed, The Yellow Subterfuge is sporting a PR 4 when just minutes ago it was a PR 3 (and thanks for paying so close attention).

My non-www version of the blog (ie yellowsubterfuge.com) was a 4 and the yes-www version of the blog (ie www.yellowsubterfuge.com) was a 3. There is a helpful redirect that SEO savvy people like to use called an HTTP redirect class 301. They like this redirect option because it is permanent and will pass on the precious google link juice to where you are redirecting to.

I picked up a simple, easy-to-use plugin that will send my yes-www traffic to my non-www site, pick up the PR 3 link juice from the yes-www version of the site, and have one official page for my blog. Not bad for 45 seconds of work.

Thanks for the easy to use plugin, Matt.

Ivan Mendes is the most fraudiest fraudster SewellDirect.com has ever seen. So much so, that Gewis, our expert fraud detector, made a certificate for him. Gewis even emailed it to him. It will probably cause him to use a different name.

The most common type of internet fraud of course is stolen credit card numbers. Fraudsters use unsuspecting internet retailers to launder money by purchasing goods with stolen credit cards and then liquidating them. Recently Preston took a whole trip out to Florida because the FBI tracked down a huge fraud ring with stolen merchandise that reached the ceiling of a house. They had purchased video cards from us fraudulently, over a thousand dollars worth I think.

There are some obvious red flags that Gewis looks for when orders come in and we are getting better and better at it. Usually the merchandise sold has mass appeal, and often times the fraudster wants the goods shipped somewhere internationally. When Gewis senses fraud with his spidey senses, he often calls the customer to make sure they are legit, and also performs queries with this really awesome search tool called "Google" to validate the identities of the purchasers. That’s at Google.com.

So anyway, watch out for Ivan Mendes. He’s so going to rot in hell.

So today I got a call out of the blue from some timeshare people, I guess I must have signed up for some prize giveaway or put my business card in some box at some point in time (which is something I usually never do, which is a little fishy).

A couple minutes ago I got this email from ‘prizes@trendwest.com’:

I thought it was really funny so I read it out loud, and then followed the link that was provided on the email. The page didn’t even load completely before a very gay explicit image popped up. So, anyway, it was Preston that had spoofed the email, and it was a good laugh. I was impressed by the authentic feel of it, being completely plain text, and the name of the Trendwest Prize Coordinator sounded like a real name.

It is incredible how easy it is to spoof an email from a fake email address using outlook. My only real concern is how Preston knew about this site.

Today, Sewell Direct launched a youtube campaign parodying the Blendtec “Will it Blend” clips. We admired the “Will it Blend” clips for quite a while, watching him blend iPods and golf clubs. We then found out that Blendtec’s headquarters were a block away from ours.

Obviously, instead of blending products, we decided to dip them in liquid nitrogen.

A new force from the dark womb of Lilith has emerged, and we are called Mormonicus!

Here is our first demo track, still very unfinished:

I know, we sound like an 8 legged demon dragon the size of Cuba, but its just me and slamwich.

Also, I have included all Metalocalypse music videos to go along with the lyrics on the Dethklok Lyrics and Videos page.

Dan sent me this link on pretty much the coolest knit pattern I’ve ever seen (not that I’ve seen a whole lot).

Suddenly knitting has become incredibly intriguing.

You can check out Aija’s Knit blog “sockpr0n” (ha!) and also see the space invaders knitting pattern on knitty.

LibriVox just catalogued Darwin’s Origin of Species including the glossary of terms into 16 free downloadable mp3s.

LibriVox provides the very impressive service of cataloguing non-fiction, fiction, poetry, and drama classics into mp3 files for the public domain. Works are read by volunteers. You can even become a volunteer. You just need your computer and some free software.

I’m collecting pictures of street art advocating the practice of knitting. Here’s what I have so far. If anyone sees others around Provo/Orem let me know, or send in your own photos from different cities.

As all my reader know, I don’t blog very often. Its not for lack of content; I have tons of articles that have been written and unfinished. The method of blogging in a browser is inconvenient, having to log on with a username and password, using different tabs for uploading images and writing the article, etc. (I use wordpress).

Lewis tipped me off to BlogDesk, an application you can download for free and that allows you to blog without openning a single browser. It was easy to set up my blog. It just asked for simple pieces of information that I could remember off the top of my head (like username, password, blog address, etc). It even automatically uploaded my categories.

BlogDesk also comes with a spellcheck. I found it humorous that the words ‘blog’ and ‘blogdesk’ are not in the dictionary.

Annoyingly, the ‘insert link’ function doesn’t allow you to write your own anchor text. If I’m missing the boat on this, someone let me know.

Also annoying was my first attempt at using BlogDesk to post. I inserted some HTML (so I could choose my own anchor text for the above links) and when I went to post, it said something about invalid HTML, and then it automatically shut down asking if I wanted to send an error report. I was pleased to find, however, that BlogDesk had automatically saved my unfinished post. Not bad.

As many of my faithful readers know, I am one paranoid android. I have a lot of sensitive and valuable data that I’ve been meaning to back-up on a remote server, most of which are music files. I was looking for a client that would back my data up automatically in the background when I was connected to the internet without me ever having to worry about it at least once a day.

I tried carbonite and box.net. My experiences were very similar to another disgruntled user, Pernell Ringlebottom. I found that comment and Peter Abilla followed Pernell’s comment suggesting Mozy.

So I tried Mozy, and it does everything that I was looking for. It quietly backs up my data during a scheduled time and its free. I just had to download the application, which needless to say is free of spyware and adware. You can also upgrade if you need more space for just $5 a month. Its a no-brainer.
