Lemonade out of lemons: two laid off workers find a new product:

A wristband that almost 6 million Americans could legitimately wear.

It reads: “Laid off. Need a Job.”

(snip)

The women ordered 500 of the wristbands from a manufacturer in Texas and did a marketing blitz by handing some of them out for free.

They sell them online for $3 apiece through a Web site Aucoin designed at www.laidoffneedajob.com.

    I have one of these bracelets and I think it is a brilliant idea.

    I sure get a lot of attention.  Great conversation starter and I have gotten a couple of job leads.  No job yet but very hopeful.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
