The Store Here Is Gone, Electroids Co is Born
5:02pm Thu Nov 09, 2006
It was November 1st, 2005 when I first put my 9v Altoids USB Charger Kit on sale. Back then, if you told me I was going to sell 50 of them I probably wouldn't have believed you; if you told me I was going to sell 500 I'd have called you crazy; if you told me I was going to sell over 5,000 of them, well, you'd be right.
I've spent much of the last year being an amateur online retailer and I think I'm at a point where I can break into the professionals.
What does all this mean? I've started a company and a new identity for the electronics kits: Electroids. I'll no longer be selling the kits from a corner of my blog, I'll be selling them through a whole new website.
I've been working on this for a long time, but (mostly) everything I needed to get done is done. Holy crap, it's finally done!
Check out ElectroidsCo.com now, and dig the fancy web2.0ish interface designed by John Godfrey.
For those wondering, this is the big thing I was talking about back before Summer. I wasn't designing a stupid new charger, I was starting my own company.

Errr, well, I'll agree it's pretty. But, honestly, I'd really prefer just a new stupid kit :)
And, have you looked into lawsuits? Stupid question, yer, i'm sure you've looked, but just having the pictures with your product seems iffy. You know, with the crazy spaz lawsuits oh so rampant around abouts.
I guess this is a stupid complaint. I'm sure you'lll look into new kits now...I might even go off and *finally* splurge and buy one XD.
You can't beat the snazzy

Oops, sorry, well, as long as you have seen the comments it's hopefully irrelevant that i stupidly forgot what exactly they were...
They were just continuations of the earlier post. which, i stupidly kept on forgetting to add something

Who and frames? Me and frames, or him and frames? Or Roger Rabbit and frames?
Frames suck, almost unilaterally, but for a while I had to use them until DNS updated for the url so it would point to the new site location.
