T Shirts Are Cool, Especially When I've Designed Them

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 00:38:27 +0100

Hurrah! One of my T Shirts arrived today. The "Thinking Ban" one:

Great, eh?

I got it from Vistaprint on a rush order (I was a bit drunk) but if you want one, then I'm afraid you'll have to go through Cafepress.

Vistaprint are good, fast, and cheap. Plus they seem to have a special offer every day. If you're lucky, you can get a hell of a lot of stuff for free and just pay the postage. Thats what I did.

I'm sorry about the picture of the fat, grumpy looking bloke modelling the shirt, but that is me.

I am 1337

Fri, 02 May 2008 02:22:22 +0100

I am 1337, apparently.

Somehow, in Haxor speeke, the numbers 1337 translate to to LEET. Which means Elite, or so they tell me.

So, i.m either a much loved 8-bit space shooty-trading game, or a really bad Lotus. Oh I hope it's the game. Really.

Anyway, why am I "1337"? Well, it is all because of this:

See? Even cafepress think i'm "1337"!

For some reason, 1337 got scrawled on the side of my Cafepress shipment. A shipment in a 7x7x7 inch box. That, by the way, is 343 cubic inches. In real terms, its the engine displacement size of a small American car, about sixteen Fiestas or an eighth of a fishing vessel's massive engine plant.

Seven by seven by seven. I don't actually recall ordering anything that big.

So, what was in the box?

Well, to start with, a shed load of bubble wrap. Honestly, freg-loads of it. I ate most of it.

And then, at the heart...

One ceramic tile and two small badges (one not pictured, obviously).

What? They posted me that in 7x7x7 box? Jesus H. Christ on a Moped.Two slats of card and a Jiffy would have done!

Think of the environment! (Bubble wrap can function as an insulation medium, unless you let me run up and down on a wheelie chair popping it all).

Anyhow, enough of the complaining about the shipping box, let me tell you about the products...

Well. I can't find a single fault with the badges or tile that I ordered. Both were printed perfectly. I'm really impressed. I'm so impressed that i'm going to use cafepress to supply a large order of badges for a project i'm working on. I hope to see their shirt printing results soon (which, I am told will not take up an entire container).

I am impressed. So impessed that I urge you to click this button:

I have in my hand a piece of paper

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 02:22:40 +0000

"I have in my hand a piece of paper," famous words, once spoken by Arthur Neville Chamberlain as he got off an aeroplane and announced that there would be "peace in our time".

To quote James Tiberius Kirk, "those words were spoken by me" (apart from the peace/time bit), last time someone telephoned me while I was on the khazi.

But enough of me re-iterating quotes to try and look intelligent, when all can plainly see the joke is based on a 1990 era Viz cartoon, let us get on with this pointless log entry (oh behave).

Not many days ago, I recieved a package containing a copy of my very own ~~rubbish~~ quality book "How many Goths does it take to change a light bulb?"

Now, once again, "I have in my hand a piece of paper". And, I'm in the toilet (as that, oddly is where the best lighting in the house is), and i've used my cameraphone to take the picture. _{Feckin' quality
linking that was. Unless anyone noticed the tense-change...}

So here is physical proof of the book...

Hmm. Something is missing, but I can't think what... Oh yeah, the FRIGGING TITLE! Still, at least my name is on it. Anyway, let us look inside.

Actually, i'm quite happy about the whole thing, apart from the cover. Honestly, I spent minutes thinking of that title and might as well have used "Coppulam Eam Est Se Non Posit Acceptera Jocularum". There are a few printing errors that didn't appear in the original version (such as the footer line breakage that i'm pointing to up there), but I'm still happy with it. And I'll be even happier if you click here are buy a copy to feed my nicotine, alcohol and curry habits.

Also, I can now say I am a published author and you are not. And that, in a very small way, makes me better than you.

Keep staring, it makes you look like a moron!

Do people stare at you in the street? Has someone nearly crashed their car because they were gawping at you standing outside your workplace or pub having a cigarette, when they should have been looking at the car in front? Is it getting on your fecking nerves and making you feel a teeny bit paranoid?

You, my friend, need to spend your cash on one of these lovely t-shirts.

Or you could buy a badge, which is cheaper but doesn't give my bank account the same sort of rosy glow. Either way, click on the t-shirt image or this handy link (www.cafepress.com/tonyblews2) and get your mitts of THE fashion accessory of 2008!
