I'm Dom. I've created some neat things you use every day.
Right now, I'm the principal and founder of Proofe.

What? 1-10 seconds length of visit…
This might mean 50% of visitors do not understand how my website works… omg. Maybe not the target audience.
As others have said, it’s not that people don’t understand how it works, but rather that it’s difficult to use. You should consider implementing navigation arrows, keyboard hotkeys, or some other secondary mechanism to use besides just dragging.
Whoa! This decade ends in less than two months.
caro:
I can’t confess to being a Gilt groupie but I foresee potential personal bankruptcy at the hands of Jetsetter, its new sister site which taps right into my worst habits of weird travel and impulse purchases. Oh, by the way, you have never heard about this site because I definitely didn’t just tell you about it because it doesn’t exist and never will.
Anyway, now that you know never to jump on the bandwagon and make my sporadic travel deals more difficult to nab, I shall continue. When I’m in NYC later this month I’m primarily just be crashing with family or friends, but I couldn’t help myself when I saw that one of Jetsetter’s deals today was for the new Ace Hotel. Snagged one for Thursday night. Can’t wait.
But if my room doesn’t have a chalkboard above the bed I may be extremely disappointed.
Rainbow Arabia - Haunted Hall
Rainbow Arabia have made a lot of progress in less than a year. Digging the dub influence in this new track.
Eero Johannes - We Could Be Skweeeroes
This has pretty much been on repeat at home since I discovered it. Eero Johannes mixes 90’s R&B (think TLC) with obscure patch choices to create some pretty compelling electronic tunes.
Very interesting. It’s only been a few years since I was working in the eMusic licensing department reviewing their agreements, and at the time, I would never have imagined that a deal like this could happen.
To be completely realistic, this is very bad for independent music. The introduction of Sony’s catalogue to eMusic has caused subscription prices to skyrocket. A look at their forums or blog shows hundreds of users crying out about the effects this deal is having on their accounts. Users that previously paid a monthly fee for 90 downloads will now be charged that same fee — or one that’s very close — for 50 downloads. That nearly doubles the price per track. My own plan, which ran $75 a month for 300 downloads is being downgraded to a plan that costs $43 a month for 100.
So what does that actually mean? It means I will be downloading less independent music. When my total number of downloads is decreased and my price per track is increased, I am less likely to risk trying out an album I haven’t heard of. I am not talking about Pitchfork’s “Best New Music”. I am talking about real independent music — the type of music that depends on early adopters like me or other eMusic users to ever make it to a site like Pitchfork.
So once again a major label fucks over artists that aren’t even in the same ecosystem. Is that really worth it for a few older albums most people could find for cheaper in a bargain bin, digital or otherwise?

Working on some new music. It starts to get really good around this part.
