Of green fatigue and ingenius ad placement.

lol. came across this at becomearobot.

as far as i can remember, the whole green movement hasn’t even been around for a long time and people are already sick of it. lol. i think people have a very low tolerance level for anything. sure, the big corporates are taking advantage of it (as we all know), but i’d like to believe that there must be at least some few who are actually trying to be green using the right procedures (you know, not just for surface appeal). and bless them for doing so.

i think people should chill for a bit, and stop assuming that they’re always getting ripped off their dollars by the biggies. or at least, they should just be optimistic and start thinking of it less.

Tips for freelancers.

I talk to a lot of consultants, freelancers, and small businesses who do web work, and I used to be a freelancer myself, so sometimes I get asked for advice on how to price one’s goods and services.

I think I came up with my best suggestion today, and it involves only two simple steps:

1. Slap the client in face.
2. Tell the client your hourly rate.

If the person looked more shocked, horrified, offended, hurt, saddened, or wounded by the slap in the face, then you are still pricing yourself too low. Source.

LOL. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
