    http://www.stewmoney.com

    The name stuck out when this guy sent me a list of domains to host on one of my newer servers... its the only one he activated so far so I checked it out a few weeks later and turns out its a satire on a few of the more famous (infamous, w/e) webmasters' blogs. Its kind of like the "colbert report" of webmasters :)

    It appears that he's a DP membres, so I'm going to email him and see if I can get his digitalpoint username.

    stewmoney <-> shoemoney (I see the resemblance in the logo)

    I see he directly links to shoemoney's blog too haha. Glad he's not making profit off this.

    Call me litigious, but this seems pretty close to copywright infringement.

    Yeah, the logo seems like an exact copy. I wonder if shoemoney knows about this? Like I said, atleast he's not making profit off it or else.. he'd be in more trouble;)

    It may fall under the Fair Use Doctrine, but he'd have to give explicit credit to Shoemoney for that as well.

    I don't hate the idea either. This parody just shows how much successful shoemoney is ;)

    I got an email response from him about his DP identity and asked him if I could post the quote. He agreed, soo....

    I asked him a few more questions, and he stayed in character the whole time :)

    clever idea. Looks like he just rotated the $ in the logo by 180 degrees

    I agree, as long as someone isn't trying to make a buck by stealing someone else's work. If it seems that this site is in any way confounding, or trying to confound, Shoemoney's work, it breaks the fair use intentions. Given how much Shoemoney makes on his site, I'd be keeping an eye on stewmoney, personally. Just my $0.02.
