Catchy Name Ideas
I dabble in the art of creating catchy, advertisement-worthy names
and phrases. It is always fascinating to discover how much influence
the choice of language can exert on human minds. I can help you come up
with a name for a product, band, or just about anything else. Just e-mail me.
Here are some examples which I was authorized to release. Note that these
are all copyright (C) 2002-2003 Stanislav Rost or their respective owners,
and I will not hesitate to aggressively reassert the rights to these creations.

Music Sharing
My stance on music sharing is simple. I will readily pay the record
companies to download music off the net, as long as the following
conditions are satisfied and capabilities are present:
- I get to pick individual songs. Most albums worth buying at all
contain one or two amazing songs. The rest are usually average or plain
garbage, and a waste of money. Besides, I usually know the song which
I want to own.
- I get to listen to the entire song before buying it. I would even be
willing to pay a marginal cost (think a nickel) for every preview.
- I get access to a mind-boggling variety of songs. Mainstream music is
easy to obtain, but outstanding remixes done by obscure, yet talented
groups somewhere in a garage in Lancaster are next to impossible to get.
Blurbs and Ideas
"The Progress Bar:" a place separated into three separate directions of
progress, namely mind, spirit and body. Patrons visit the section they feel
matches their needs. Each section has an approporiate
design, drink and music selection.
