New Song Up "Shoot Down The Moon"
Melody Meets Me is my solo music project where I write and record and play all of the instruments. I worked on a new song yesterday and here it is. I’ve never sold any music before, I’ve always given it away for free… but a good friend of mine convinced me that everything should be part of an exchange process… good advice… anyway, please support me by purchashing my self-recorded album. The actual album won’t release until August, but you can digitally download from here. Or wait a couple more weeks to find it in AmazonMP3 store, iTunes, Rhapsody, LaLa and more…
On another note, I am actively looking for female vocalists and multi-instrumentalists to collaborate with, if this is you, talk to me erictherobot@gmail.com.
Thanks for your support!! Happy Mothers Day!

Here we are expressing ourselves in Charleston, WV. Notice the blatant copy cats in the background over Jesse’s shoulder. Frighteningly enough, they followed us to Chili’s & heckled us from the corner booth.

this photo makes me happy, but the person who took it makes me even happier… I played with Claudio Rivera for a brief moment in Minneapolis. He was a drummming wizard then… I can only imagine where it’s taken him now. google stalking here I come… ha.

Show Me Your Logo
ShowMeYourLogo.com is an interesting logo and branding community where designers can show off their talent through the use of our social network. Easily create long-lasting connections and collaborate with other registered members. It’s simple and secure to use and best of all, it’s free!
I built the web site in under 32 hours, but as users started joining I soon found myself back in the code and fixing certain features to accommodate the community’s desires.
SMYL offers Google Friend Connect integration that easily allows people to join using their existing Google (gmail), Yahoo, OpenID, and AIM accounts to signup. To be able to upload a logo, users will be asked to create an account on showmeyourlogo.com in order to be fully linked in to our system.
Showmeyourlogo.com also offers advanced image color extraction that easily pulls the hex colors from the users logo and displays it on the logo page to provide other logo designers the ability to see what colors where used in the logo’s creation. This helps others become quickly inspired by color and helps them in the creation of their next logo design.
The site was launched on December 28th, 2008.

BIDI - Before I Die I
Before I Die I is a place to share the things you’d like to accomplish before you die. You may post your BIDI anonymously on any page on this web site from the text field in the header. Members may leave comments and feedback about each BIDI (this is not anonymous) to say that they relate, or they would like to do the same thing. It’s exciting, fun, simple and best of all FREE.
During my lunch break while working at Etsy.com in New York, I decided to develop beforeidiei.com. The first phase of this concept has been quite simple; create a bucket list of things that you would like to accomplish before you die. The second phase (which I hope to launch soon) will be to create relationships among anyone who enters the same (word for word) BIDI. Then from there I plan on developing a way for others to accomplish their shared BIDI’s together. For instance, if two or more people post “Before I Die I want to go to the moon” then “I want to go to the moon” will be hyperlinked and then ideally the members would communicate through this web site and figure out how to execute their BIDI’s together.
The BIDI list has grown to over 500 responses or BIDI’s in less than a couple of months. The responses have been extremely powerful, motivating, funny, sad, but overall, I believe people are being honest and I can only hope that they are accomplishing their goals.
The site was launched on September 15th, 2008.
