Hey guys - if you're up for some irreverence check out this podcast that +Wil Wells and I were just on. +Dan Fields was a gentle host and lover. But be warned we talk heavily about circumcision, horse balls, and of course Google+

Ok nerds and tech-gurus (like you +Robert Scoble) I need some help.

I'm looking for a clean & easy way to RECEIVE recurring payments. We have some clients who are on smaller retainers and, quite honestly, I forget to bill them for months at a time on occasion. It's costing us a bit of money and it's pissing them off when I come looking 3 months later to be paid.

Who has a slick solution for me?

RUL Recommended Users List to follow. A completely new concept of bringing you in touch with 500 profiles who make a difference to your steam.

Why?
If I have to put my own preferences and friends in every circle I am sharing the same circle over and over. Too many friends.

How?
Please read the note below.

Support:
To become a successful circle I need your support!
If you add or check out you will find many interesting profiles. Promise!
If you are in or not but share, others get the chance to check this out.
If you are in and share more people will know and follow you.

To improve the algorithm I need your feed back! Please!!!

Note:
No friends circle, no nepotism, many of my friends are not in. I feel sorry about that but we need some fresh blood. Only people who came up... more »

About time for an update to the old profile photo throughout the web... I've become very ugly over time, so I figured I'd put up a picture of this handsome fella instead.

Touch me once, then retouch me
Wondering about the "retouching" section? feels elementary to put a definition to what retouching is, but here goes (per the actual definition) 

Retouching (v)
"To improve or repair by making slight additions or alterations"

Highlights are the words "improve, repair, and slight" go beyond those words too much and you might find yourself fitting better into the "photo manipulation" section. If you're like me (and God help you if you are) you'll find yourself crossing back and forth between both.

Here are some examples from my company +Elevendy from a few of our past projects.

Wondering about the "Photo Manipulation" section? 
This area is for the compositors, manipulators, and I'm sure some retouching folks will wander over from time to time as well... I'll cross back and forth myself a bit.

If you composite images, meaning simply, if you use more than one image to create a finished piece of digital artwork, guess what? you're a photo manipulator.

Shunned by purist photographers and fine arts folks, the life of the photo manipulator is a hard one. The streets are lined with harsh criticism being thrown your way by people who over-HDR their own images, your eyes will roll so often you'll think the world is spinning. Ok, so the world is actually spinning, you get the point though.

These are a few examples from the portfolio of my company +Elevendy, we specialize in this shit. We live it, breathe it, and do... more »

Can we get a "photo manipulation " or "compositing" section too? none of our work really falls into the other sections, but we do a teensy weensy bit of post on our images ;-)
