"It's like twitter. Except we charge people to use it."

This is hilarious. I thought some of you would enjoy it, too.

Well, I was just about to put that same link up here, but Thomas, you beat me to it. I'm sure some folks around here have been asked to do the exact same thing. In fact, I need a new logo, anyone available - for free?

Nice.

The pie chart request is what really cracks me up. Kind of like when people at work ask me to put a photo in their powerpoint presentation. It's powerpoint, figure it out.

There's another one from that same site called "Professional photography tips".

That is awesome. Sounds like a guy that was trying to barter with me the other day to "work with me" for free and to go do my shoots for me "for free" if I would take his wives maternity pictures and new born pictures.

First, if he were that good, he could do them himself, so how can he go do my shoots for me? And if someone hires "me", I'm pretty certain they wouldn't want him showing up, or they would have hired him right? At least he wanted to do something in return, he just didn't have anything I wanted....

you were asking me to design a logotype which would have taken me a few hours and fifteen years experience. For free. With pie charts. Usually when people don't ask me to design them a logo, pie charts or website, I, in return, do not ask them to paint my apartment, drive me to the airport, represent me in court or whatever it is they do for a living.

!!!! ......Gold!
