			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A small snippet of news for you. The Ueda College of Fashion have announced a new course for 2011 in Gothic and Lolita fashion design, reflecting its unique Japanese origins. This does not have much to do with the Gothic scene in Japan (although EGL is represented to a small extent at events), but is an interesting development showing that Gothic Lolita-ism as a growing trend.</p>

The www.jgoth.com Web space will now be a bulletin board for those into the Japanese gothy industrial scene to talk more freely. Also note that Igor runs a global Gothic community site at www.gothers.com (around 3,800 members and counting).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WebhostingGeeks.com is a <a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com">web hosting</a> review, rating and awards site that has been operating since 2004.</p>
<p>The initial top 10 list gives you a quick overview of some of the best deals on the Web. It also ranks Web hosts by multiple domain hosting, green Web hosting as well as sites offering free domains, Yahoo! marketing and Google Adwords.</p>
<p>Users can also see which hosts are best for budget hosting, Windows hosting, PHP hosting and dedicated hosting plans to mention but a few. Each ranking includes a small blurb on the site and lists things such as server costs and features of the Web host.</p>
<p>For somebody looking for the right kind of hosting this site provides a quick, easy overview of some of the best Web hosts around. It certainly would have helped me save time and money on getting the right host for my accounts – it took me three hosts to find the right match for my needs.</p>
<p>The site also includes a blog covering topics from hosting and domain names to content management systems (CMS) and E-commerce to SEO &#038; SEM.</p>
<p>Overall I found the site to be quite clear and simple to use. I think anyone looking for hosting options would find Web Hosting Geeks a useful tool for researching major hosting providers.</p>

It is kind of depressing being here in my tower missing out on these things. Hopefully there will be another wild night at Chop or Urga that I can go to.</p>
<p>Actually tomorrow night there will be a good event at Urga with bands like Nicht and (drool) Destruct System. Hmm, maybe I will have the energy to go there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have seen all manner of tattoos, from the very small home decoration to full-back tattoos. Some have been immaculate pieces of art, while others have a more rustic feel. Never-the-less, although I have no tattoos (yet), I hold people who have turned their bodies into skin canvases with one or a number of tattoos. As for me, I am interested in trying out a tattoo as a temporary piece of body art.</p>
<p>Here is where European Body Art, formed in 2001, comes in. EBA specializes in <a href="http://www.europeanbodyart.com/">Airbrush Tattoo Supplies</a> &#8211; temporary tattoos using air-brushed designs. The company produces high-quality airbrushed tattoos that take a couple of minutes to apply and last up to a week or so. The tattoos offer a realistic look, painless temporary expression of the user&#8217;s individuality. This is the kind of experience I am looking for, before committing my body as a permanent canvas.</p>
<p>The company also offers help to potential airbrush tattooists with training and the right <a href="http://www.europeanbodyart.com/">Airbrush Tattoo Supplies</a> to set up an airbrushed tattoo business. Through the company&#8217;s innovative development, airbrushed tattoos have become a multimillion dollar business. There are a number success stories including a number of operators making over $60,000 per year.</p>
<p>As a potential temporary tattoo customer this sounds like a great system to get a taste of what a real tattoo can deliver.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.shopwiki.com" alt="online shopping">ShopWiki.com</a> is a site designed to revolutionize the online shopping experience by finding every store on the Internet and crawling each store much the same way as Google and other search engine.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since <a href="http://www.gothers.com/">Gothers.com</a> is quietly reaching 600 members I was rather surprised to see this on WSJ.com:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Thirty-five percent of the online communities studied have less than 100 members; less than 25% have more than 1,000 members – despite the fact that close to 60% of these businesses have spent over $1 million on their community projects. “A disturbingly high number of these sites fail,” Moran tells us.</em> <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/biztech/2008/07/16/why-most-online-communities-fail/"><em>Full article (subscription required)</em></a></p></blockquote>
<p>A million dollar uber-flop with less than 100 users &#8211; sheesh. Meanwhile I&#8217;m just letting the old <a href="http://www.gothers.com/">Gothers.com </a>site slowly tick up to 1000. It is only a matter of time and patience and only cost a few hundred plus some amateurish coding to string together.</p>
<p>I guess I am not tied to satisfying customer (company) needs and dreams, just to what I think the user/member may like.  No need for fancy logos or company colors, just what I think or can do. But at a million dollars even a failure would need to pull in 1000 surely? Maybe not.</p>
