So how does this  work… Based on what i know about DMCA and the TOS of twitter , the only way someone can use my name is in a parody not as a business.

Joe ‘Asshole’ ( not his real name ) says if i give him the USPTO documentation he will give me my name back . How white of him………..

So the US government expects me to file a form  for every piece of text i post and artwork i create ……. NO that’s not how it works, I would spend 3/4 of my time submitting forms.

A Copyright/trademark IS only needed if there is no prior use of the name or art,  Prior published usage trumps trademark/copyright law( ie i published a magazine called colored truths in the late 80s, though i did not apply to the copyright office, i and my writers still own that material )

Here is my first email to him which he ignored

Dear Sir

So you claim to be able to use internetjoe as your twitter handle, i would not mind that as much as  the fact that u use it as part of your business  dealings.

i have used inj/internetjoe for over 14 years, please stop the business chat or drop the handle.

Joe dauz

i  added a google search link with documents showing internetjoe as my name back to 2000.

 On 5-24 i found this guy using my name

on 5-26 i sent the above email

on 5-29 i sent this

Dude how sad

your dont answer my email – just post more business links on twitter with my name.
As i showed you with that link i have web copyrighted pages with that name going back to the 1990s on geocities.

You have no case. I have requested from twitter the name be given to me as per there copyright policy.

thanks for your time
joe dauz

No answer so i email the web master of his company – 06-01

Empolyee missuse of twitter

Dear sir,

For a company that claims selfhelp your employee Joe @@asshole@@ has gone against that principal.

If he is just dumb and never thought someone might be using that name or if he searched the name and ignored my entries , either way that’s bad business on the Internet.

here are my still unanswered emails to him -( here i attached the emails to him)

Low and behold he answers my first email magically a few hours later

> Joe,
> Thanks for the email.   I am sorry about the confusion.

> If you own the trademark on the use of “Internet Joe”, I will be happy to change the name on the account.  Can you please send me official trademark certification information from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and I will promptly change the name on my account.

Notice  the IF – like if you know someone else that uses internetjoe ONE WORD AS there main name to produce work.

But i got nothing Good to say about a company that would hire a jerk like this

Just saying

Man it’s a sad state of affairs when a open copyright believer needs to call copyright or trademark on someone.

I am internetjoe have been for a long time

I work very hard to keep up my appearance on the web and as such do my weekly vanity google of my names.

Last week i noticed a internetjoe ( one word no space ) link that was not me and tracked it down to a twitter user. What i found scared me as this person who also seems to be from “new jersey” was using my name to do his companies business.

Now the issue arises as i try to email him with a request to stop the business chat ( even offered to let him have the name if he just did not do business with it .. ) So he answered me today not by an email response but by twittering another business link.

So now i have to fax forms to twitter and make a formal request for name transfer.

I worked hard for the rep of a anarchist and dont need someone thinking it was the JoeDauz Internetjoe that sent that junk mail.

When i read about the problems of animation houses today, the one thing i see as a main issue is asset management, or lack thereof. The idea that character sheets  and background paintings are not digitized from the start is mind boggling.

here is a piece from years ago took less then 2 hours cleanup included.

I digitized penciled character sheets from the WB web site. The audio matches quite well for using flash 4.

On one of our current projects – see progress at – http://www.youtube.com/circusjerks
its taken 6 months for my brother and i to get this far, but we are using assets as a coder or game programmer would use and have 3 fully detailed environments in production. Though the first video might still be months away the production of added content will be a breeze because the pieces are all defined.

How about it – all studios should have a github type depository for character assets.

Sad i must continue to note the deaths of our children in the name of torture.

3 US soldiers killed by bomb in Baghdad

By SINAN SALAHEDDIN, Associated Press Writer Sinan Salaheddin– 

BAGHDAD – Three American soldiers were killed Thursday in a bombing in Baghdad, the U.S. military said, part of a burst of violence only weeks before American combat troops are due to leave Iraqi cities.

The true story of a group of god fearing southern businessmen and there rich friend from Australia , who together gutted the independent media and then the government.

Watch as local news gets less local and more Rupie

See america go from empathic to tortureific

Gaze in wonder as freedom become feardom.

So i am sick of stuff on th web not running on my macbook,and even more sick of the dumb ui designers that cant figure out how to read a browser meta tag.

Oh look a little flag that says i use firefox or a macintosh, they have been part of web log data For as long as i remember.

Why cant you just send me away.. why must i be forced to a download page for a Microsoft exe. (today it was wb.com and 3d exitreality but they are just 2 of many )

From day one of my coding on the web it has been quite easy to build full cross platform web applets, with java, director and now flash/processing -

Rule one is never use OS proprietary calls
Always develop the art to the targeted users lowest screen resolution
Stay local to the sand box

Oh it so hard to make it work on a mac

Maybe its just knowing every aspect of game design and development , but overhead pseudo 3d is just not cutting it anymore. Sure zelda or diablo were great for there time but i have been scratch building 3d models from 1985 and working source code forever. When not being worker or dad or granpa i play video games. Sony HOME and world of warcraft are just the tip of a 3d display explosion that make 2d just bla.

I dont hate 2d games, there is a lot of mileage left in them as is shown by the second coming of the crossPlatform indie developers, its just that for a social chat -world- MetaPlace is just a glorified version of the Palace Chat client of old.

Here is the url as of 1pm EST (Entirely Stupid Teabaggers) of the single page graphic the non corporate Rupie News sent me about the grass roots event

Again the Un-subscribe link is a picture of a text link and works quite well as i used it 2 weeks ago and still get this crap.

Energy service providers have had just as much FUN with our dollars as the Banks have. Deregulation has allowed Energy providers to charge what they want and still not work to improve infrastructure. The service charges alone currently make up near HALF your gas or electric bill.

Service for what, current Green Programs from the likes of PSE&G and other energy giants claim you can buy -CLEAN ENERGY- for a few cents over current kwatt prices. Great way to feel green  NOT

The truth is our current energy grid is a generation away from knowing good energy from dirty energy and most of the time your paying extra for NOTHING.

The companies that even the government points to for -Clean Energy- programs are consortiums of Energy companies or owned by the company that does most of the CRM/and booking work for the energy industry. They are paying them selves to make it look like you are helping the planet.

Yes it was Bush and the Republicans that let them lie like this to us.
