The boys and I were playing this little game called “everythingendsin.com” yesterday at work and we came up with some pretty good domain names. If you are in the hunt for a catchy .com domain name, then read on.
in1sec.com - In one second
seeunxtweek.com - See you next week
goingnextdoor.com - Going next door
dontuworry.com - Don’t you worry
oopssie.com - Oopssie!
bnice2me.com - Be nice to me
itistruestory.com - It is true story
justlockitin.com - Just lock it in
All the above domain names are currently available.
Thanks to india2016.com and blokevogue.com for the fabulous idea!

This is a step by step tutorial with screenshots on how to create a reflection effect in Adobe Photoshop. Reflection effect has become very popular recently thanks to web 2.0 hype. Those shiny reflection effect can be seen everywhere especially on web 2.0 logos. At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to create a web 2.0 logo with a reflection effect using Adobe Photoshop.
Create a new Photoshop document of 500×300 pixels and name it anything you like. I named mine “logo”.

Set the foreground color to #00ccff.

Type any text you want in the document and set the font size to 48px and set the anti-aliasing method to Smooth. As for the font, you can use any font you like. I used VAG Rounded Std because it’s a web 2.0 font.

A while ago, I wrote eZ Publish extensions for Flickr and YouTube. Basically, you pass a keyword/tag you’d like to search to template operator and it will return a list of photos (and videos if you are using YouTube template operator) matching the criteria. You can also set total number of results to return. All you need is your API application key/developer id from Flickr and YouTube.
Since I am already confusing everyone and myself, here’s a visual to help you understand better.

Will be sharing them on eZ Publish contributions once I know how to do so.
