Hello!
Welcome to Stop Brain!
I'm Eric and these are my weekend
projects. Over the past few years, I've spent some time and money acquiring
domain names with intentions to develop them in my spare time, which is generally
limited to the weekends.
The projects on the right are the sites I've chosen to develop. A few sites
are already launched and desperately need a facelift, while others are still
in the planning phase. If my plan goes accordingly, I'll launch them by July
2010. Please stop by again to check up on the status of each site.

BeforeIDieI.com
BIDI - Before I Die I want to finish at least one web site. (This was
my first post on the site)
http://www.beforeidiei.com
November 2008 on my lunch break from Etsy.com I created beforeidiei.com
in 20 minutes. Since then it's expanded a little and it's about to get
an overhaul with some new features.
The site has had about 2000 entries since 2008 with little to no advertising.

YouMeYouMe.com
YouMeYouMe.com
is
a "two of a kind" photoblog that I've created on
Tumblr.com
for
fun. It's a perfect place for inspiration...and a great hangout of lovers.
I try to find photos that have two of the same thing as the subject,
hence you me you me. Two pair of lovers, kisses, jets, cats, birds, trains,
planes...OH MY... you get the idea. The goal is to upload a new photo
at least once per week.
Originally, I purchased this domain to create a social network, but
that plan didn't work out...and needless to say, I've taken a different
route and ditched the idea of a social networking site and focused on
a photo blog. I hope you find yourself in at least one of the photos
on youmeyoume.com. Enjoy!
Do you have a cool photo that you'd like to include on this site?

it to me

MadStory.com
This is a project I've wanted to work on for many months. I love reading
my friends angry comments and outlandish stories online. It's saddens
me to read what they are going through, but days later they are laughing
again and besides, reading your friends drama only makes ourselves feel
like our own lives are not as bad as we think.
With
Mad
Story
, my intent is to present an eye pleasing visual display of
aggregated data from Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc. Pulling in the
data (their stories) based on a certain set of keywords or filters.
Community driven, the users will be able to provide feedback, submit
stories of their own, or save their mad stories for a later read.

IndieHipsters.com
In December 2008 I started working on a site called Crafty Hipsters
but felt the name suggested that the site could or would only be for
people who make arts and crafts. I built 95% of the site, and was pushing
to launch it once the remaining, and most painful 5% was completed. I
may have sat on the 5% a little too long, and since then I've brain stormed
some other ideas for the site. The name has changed, it's now (obviously)
Indie
Hipsters
.
My inspiration for developing this site comes from so many sources,
mostly from sites I visit on a daily basis, but of course, they're all
missing a few things. I plan on creating a place online from the vision
in my head. If you're reading this and you've made it this far, you're
probably wondering WTF the site is all about. Sadly, I cannot tell. Wait
and see for yourself.

ShoeConversations.com
So just What Are Your Feet Saying? I know they are talking, see the
flickr
pool
one of my best friends
Ashleyspirals
created
- I met Ashley while working at
Etsy.com
in
the early days and her and I started talking a lot about shoes and
how people take photos of their feet. Then we started thinking... what
are they saying? That's when we realized we would build a site that
would allow people to let their shoes speak. I'd give you more information,
but this is kind of a top secret project. :)

KYWRD.com
I've been sort of a go to guy in the SEO department over the years. I
don't know why, it's not rocket science, it's simple logic. During my
many domain name shopping spree's I acquired a nice short domain name,
kywrd.com, and it's plural sister, kywrds.com. I've wanted to build a useful
tool that would allow web masters to monitor their keyword trends and rankings
in the top tier search engines. There are currently many sites out there
that do this for you already, but there are always a few things missing.
I'm not planning on inventing the wheel here, I'm just going to attempt
to make it more efficient and useful. This is one of my lower priority
projects, as I will need some help working with certain complex algorythms.

MelodyMeetsMe.com
This project started over 10 years ago and I am still recording about
3-5 new songs per week. Music is the fuel to everything I create, when
I become frustrated with code, I tend to calm my technology nerves with
a gentle strum on the old geeetar.
On December 6th I developed and launched the new
Melody
Meets Me
it was built so quickly using Kohana v3, 960 Grid System,
and my computer... oh you already knew the last one. :)

GetAnIntern.com
Get An Intern - I bet you don't know what this site is about do you?
You guessed it, it's a place to "
Get
An Intern
" or find a job if you happen to be looking for an
internship.
I've done some Googling and noticed that there isn't much out there
to help, yet the trends I've discovered over the last 5 years suggests
that internships are on the rise. Which is good for me, I love solving
problems, and the problem I know of now is that YOU need to Get An Intern.
Don't worry friend, I'll Fix Your Wagon.
