Squandrous

I need to see more art like this on the streets. Brings a smile to my day.

Haha! This is great. That’s why I have Squandrous for blogging cool stuff I find, and Eloquation to share my original content.

OhMyNo!

My water bottle exploded in my bag, soaking all my paperwork (not too bad), my iPod Touch (pretty bad), and my iPod case (worst news ever). I am reasonably bummed out.

Reflections on the new job

There’s a PC at my desk that runs Windows 2000. On top of that, I have to use Internet Explorer 6 as my web browser. (I’m told this situation will be remedied quickly.)

At around 10am every day, I shed a few tears and weep for the loss of the use of my Macbook Pro. Then I get over it and get back to work.

I come home and hug my Mac every day, and say a special prayer of thanks to God for creating Steve Jobs.

Yes, only two whole days at a new job and all I can think of is Apple products.

Forget Tumblize, hire Bill Israel

I know a lot of people have been weighing in on the launch of Tumblize and the fact that they think they can get away with charging $999 for a Tumblr design.

I’m not going to say anything about the people of Tumblize, because I don’t have any personal experience with their work.

I have, however, worked with Bill Israel, who helped me develop the current design for Squandrous.com. I love it. What’s more important, I loved working with Bill.

Bill was eager to learn, adapt to my needs, and make sure that every single one of my desires (with regards to the web design, of course) was fulfilled. And he charged me a fraction of what the guys at Tumblize charge.

If you’ve got the money, I’ll let you spend it however you want to spend it. I will recommend, however, that you contact Bill Israel if you want the best quality for an excellent price.

I want to build this as my home office one day. When, of course, I own a home large enough to build this in.

I squander my time in wondrous ways...

Hullo, I'm Sameer Vasta, a storyteller and new media junkie in Toronto. I like to laugh a lot.

Squandrous is where you'll find my collection of great links from all around the web. You can also find me at Eloquation, Cinegasmic, blogTO, Flickr, and Easily Smitten.

Everybody has a story to tell, and I help people and organizations use the web to get their stories heard by the people that need to hear them most.

If you still have questions or want to find out more about what I do, send me a twitter or an .
