April 17th, 2009

Here are another 2 sofas which will be revealed in Milan next week: Cushion and Draped, designed by Front for Moroso. I’m not sure if these photos are some sort of concept prototypes or if they are the final product. But Im definitely curious to see some more pictures next week.

Quilt sofa

April 17th, 2009

The Milan furniture fair previews are filling up my inbox. Once again, I won’t go, but maybe next year. Anyway, this sofa called Quilt by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec looks quite nice. Ofcourse it is almost impossible to beat their own Facett sofa collection.

Off Topic: Looking for Sponsoring

April 15th, 2009

today and tomorrow is looking for sponsoring.
Why? Almost 2 weeks ago my current web host took my website temporally offline because today and tomorrow was causing too much server load. They told me that I have to upgrade my server package to a managed one, due to the growing numbers. This means some serious extra costs. That’s why I’m looking for some sponsoring.

My first idea was a PayPal donation button, you can find it in the sidebar on the right. Every micro-payment helps. Of course some larger corporate help is appreciated too.
If I look at my statics, I can see that some of you work for some really nice brands. For example, the third biggest traffic causing network in March was that big American sportswear brand. Others work in creative agencies, almost every known network is represented together with some well known independent ones. Maybe you guys can hoop me up with a nice monthly sponsor, which would get some decent space in the sidebar.

Any input is very welcome, shoot me an email: info at todayandtomorrow dot net.
Thank you all in advance!

I hope I don’t have to bother you again with this issue.
So to make this at least a little interesting, here is a little graphic, inspired by the Google Analytics paintings by Evan Roth, which shows you the top 500 cities (from almost 12000) where the visitors of today and tomorrow came from in March.

UPDATE 15/04/09 13:45: Here are some more numbers from March 2009: today and tomorrow had 587,183 pageviews according to Google Analytics. The server logs tell me that the server had 9.525.366 hits and 468 Gb of data was transferred.

UPDATE 16/04/09 11:06: Thanks to everyone who used the PayPal donations button! Also thanks to those who have send me an email with ideas and sponsoring offers. I’ll get back to you asap.
Ruben brought to my attention that the PayPal landing page is in German, although my account is in English. I’ve contacted PayPal to get this issue resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience!

UPDATE 17/04/09 11:12: The PayPal landing page is now in English. And thanks again for the support!
