Help Eric escape his garage


My buddy Eric is pulling a stunt to draw attention to his new site - FellowTip.com

My friend Eric is launching a new site - FellowTip.com. It's a pretty cool site, based on the idea of "Powerful Conversations". The basic premise is this: You have a burning question or something cool to share - like say "How do I remove the middle seats in my Honda Odyssey?" or "I just figured out a cool way to get more throughput on my router" - you share it with the community. Then someone else comes along with the same question, sees your perfectly articulated entry, and improves their life.... one Odyssey seat at a time. But it doesn't stop there - there's a little Tip button at the top of the post, so you can share a little love with the person who gave you the answer. Just a simple couple-a-bucks via paypal, and in a few clicks, you made their day, they made your day, the world is improved.

So what does this have to do with helping him escape from his garage? Well, the launch seems to have been a bit hard on poor Eric. And it led him to come up with a desperate scheme - he's locked himself in his garage until FellowTip.com has 500 memebers. And to prove it, here's a live webcam of him in his garage.

So check out FellowTip.com - I think you'll dig it and Eric will thank you for it.

UPDATE: I forgot to ask.... Hey Eric - I know you're a really awesome photographer and all that, and I'm sure you have some cool lenses - but how are you going to shoot a wedding if you're stuck in your garage?

UPDATE 2: Eric got some local press - WJHL (local TV) interviewed him (from the garage, of course).
