The best thing that could have happened for me was for my old friend Tiffany to invite me to work with her on AJoyfulAffair.com - a new favors site. Tiffany has a number of great web sites, like CarbHealth - a very successful low carb diet website and A Diamond Image-a very successful favors site for every event, like graduation favors. I’ve been kind of hoping to do this kind of project, meaning a consumer product with a healthy AOV that sells to women, but that’s just me being a merciless marketing cyborg. Target: Love, Romance and Your Most Treasured Memories Command: INCINERATE! uh, just kidding.

Another reason I was so excited was because she was asking for a shopping cart. I had seen Magento-a fantastic new open source shopping cart a few months ago, that’s one of the big advantages of wasting my life on the internet.

Magento is way further along then you would think a 1.0 oscommerce competitor would be, and its outstanding. It has great SEO features, plenty of stuff I have paid money to have added to other platforms. Great image handling. Slick and fast. The world’s best admin. It is not for the absolute beginner right noe, but believe me I aint far from there and its kind of running.

As I requested of one friend today, please start marrying off your children.
