404, it's the new 200. I drew a cartoon bat a few months ago that was originally supposed to be part of a wallpaper collection called "bat eats spider." I was going to have a bat biting the head off a spider, as sort of a shot at how well the Dark Knight did against Spiderman in terms of commercial success. Unfortunately the bat kept coming out too cute, and the spider too lame, so I just bagged it and it's been sitting on my hard drive ever since. I figured I'd get with the program and make a custom 404 error page.
Also, I launched a website today called Stop Saying Fail. It's doing really well - nearly 10,000 page views in the first hour. I'm actually not that against using the word "fail," but it's been parroted rather excessively lately, so I figured what the hell. Also, thanks to Rebecca Kelley. I can't remember if it was her idea or mine, but she definitely was a motivator behind making it.
I am a 27 year old web designer, developer, and online marketer.
In early 2007 I built a full-featured online dating website, from concept to launch, in only 66.5 hours. The end result was Mingle2, and within six months the website received several million visitors and was eventually acquired by a competitor. Mingle2 now receives 40 million page views a month.
Prior to working full-time at Mingle2, I co-founded SEOmoz and acted as CTO, web designer, and web developer.
I now focus my energies on The Oatmeal, an entertainment site full of comics, quizzes, and other delights.
