Sick of chargebacks

Finally got the STS LLC up and running, and got this dandy CC machine to boot. No more chargebacks due to sticker clients seeing "American Horsepower Products" on their statement and freaking out beyond belief, leading to useless paperwork and wasted time.

Actually switched the AHP merchant account to PNC Merchant Services as well which got me better processing rates, no setup fee's, no annual fee's, no statement fee's so an overall win on all accounts.

Give me your CC, its hungry.

Unadilla

We made our annual trek up to NY this past weekend to attend the Unadilla national. At every race we attend this year, were able to meet up with more people that we've only previously met through email or some kind of social networking, so that has been pretty cool. We met up with Jon at Two Stroke Motocross who is helping out our buddy Mike Leavitt who is trying to qualify for the 450's on a YZ250 2 stroke. We also met up with Shawn Taylor this time, and he got a cool shot of Jess and I.

Among the highlights was obviously James Stewart returning to racing, although he only managed a 3-DNF, local NJ boy Dakota Kessler qualified for his first pro national in the 250's, and Eyvind Boyesen was the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement award from Alex and the guys at the Legends and Heroes display.

Jess pulled me up to the podium after Eyvind received his award to get this corny picture, where it looks like maybe were important but were really not. "When is the next time we will ever get to do this!" she says.

Jess got some amazing shots for DeLorenzo Photography as usual, and I got some crappy iPhone videos, as usual. On with the eye candy.

Generating QR barcode's for your site

Remember those bar codes I just talked about the new edition of Racer X, well now I have discovered its easy to generate one for your own website. By the way, they are called QR Barcode's. Probably won't get you a lot of hits this week, but maybe in the coming months it will be the new thing. Coded blocks all over Facebook (do I really have to link FB?) will be the new rage, who needs English??

Of course I made some up for our sites, you will have to scan them to see what goes where, ohh the suspense.

Don't forget to pick up the i-nigma app on your phone to make this work.

4 GB

I added some more memory just now to the trusty Macbook, since I have been doing a lot more "work" in AI with logos and such. I bumped it from the stock 2 to 4 gig. The poor thing is beat to death already, I've had it only a few months, and it replaced my older Macbook. It looks like it has cigarette burns on the bottom of it (I've never smoked a cigarette in my entire life) and I've taken it sledding. I beat the death out of these things, I have them on nonstop basically 24/7 chugging away.

Today has been good for Stickers That Stick and AHP. Picked up some new clients, one is Zesti which is a new site in Canada for music and ebooks, does Canada use iTunes or are they behind the ball on that?
