I'm back in LA, after spending last week in NYC for some Yoostar press demos and meetings. Yoostar was written up in Forbes, Good Housekeeping, NY Daily News, and several other places. Follow our Yoostar twitter feed to stay up-to-date. We've updated Yoostar.com with a new intro video and, and we updated the Roles page to show some of the movie clips you can act in with the Yoostar system. Also, you may have noticed that this blog looks pretty different (and also that I'm posting to it after over two years of absence). While I was in NYC, my friend Lee pointed out that poprocks.com looked "so 1999." He was basically telling me that my online presence was wearing mom jeans. Ouch. I suppose, it's good to have friends who will be bluntly honest. It's like the time Andy told me that I needed an RSS feed for my blog, or the time JP told me I should not ever -- under any circumstances -- leave the house without wearing a bra. Funny, though, no one ever said there was anything wrong those times when I dyed my hair blue or apricot. I've seen the photos, and I'm surprised I didn't receive more critical feedback.

Today I received a whole bunch of emails from various people complimenting my Zelda Fitzagerald site -- The Legend of Zelda (which I created back in 1997 and have been badly neglecting lately due to my short attention span and myriad other interests). I thought that was a little bit strange, so I went and looked at my referral logs -- which I also neglect (unlike many other web journalers who seem to have much more energy than me), and I discovered that Ask Yahoo! linked to my site today as an answer to someone's question about where to go online to see Zelda's art. They described my site as "an exquisite 'fansite.'" In other Yahoo! news, I think Yahoo finally scrapped its exclusionary "cool people" category -- go look, it's completely empty. Poprocks.com had been listed there since 1997, and now that Yahoo isn't deeming me cool, I feel so alone in the world. Will somone else officially endorse me so that I can feel better? In other un-cool news, my bright blue hair faded fast. I must be showering too often. I really need to cut down. Cleanliness is overrated. Especially for a girl who now has hair the color of a dirty aquarium. It's turning into a mullet too. posted by Jess Barron @ 6:23 PM
