The shirt on person.

Specifically this shirt on this daughter
person:
She wore it to school today. The other kids thought it was weird. If that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is.
Oh, and I managed to get "Donut" inked, but not colored:
I'm still just too slow and clueless in Adobe Illustrator. Needless to say, it won't be appearing in the derby.

Woot printed one of my shirts.

While I still haven't come closer than 6th place in
the derby, Woot did print one of my designs for the
daily Woot last Thursday:
If you would like to get one, you still can from this link: http://shirt.woot.com/Friends.aspx?k=4047
I have no idea how much longer they'll be offering the shirt though. They do a thing called a "Reckoning" every Monday where they delete the seven lowest selling shirts from their back catalog. I'm safe from this Monday since my shirt didn't go on sale until Thursday, but I'm willing to bet I'll be gone by next Monday since mine is pretty much exclusively a Halloween design and Halloween will be over by then. So, if you want it you might want to act fast. I've received my artist compensation shirts and it turned out pretty good. I'll try to get a photo of me wearing for a later post.
Also, if you want to get it before Halloween, you'll need to order by Monday and pay the extra $5 for 2-day shipping.
My final points for my entries last derby were dismal. I totally tanked that one. Here were the designs I had in the running:
None of my designs broke 50 votes. It was my worst derby since #2. This week, I have a sketch of an idea, but I haven't taken the time to actually finalize it, and now it's basically too late to submit with any hope of winning. Sure, some designs shoot up the ranks even submitted late, but mine just don't tend to do that.
Anyhow, the theme is "Nutrition" and this is my sketch, "Donut the Barbarian" :

Weekend Update
2007:10:14 10:01 PM Filed in: Personal
A week sure goes by fast. A weekend even faster.
People who know me know that I don't watch TV very often. It has less to do with trying to keep my mind from being turned to mush than it has to do with the fact that I almost never remember when a show I want to watch is on. There are a few exceptions, like Lost, CSI, My Name is Earl and recently Pushing Daisies.
That said, I just bought a TiVo DVR a few days ago. It's an 80GB Series 2 unit. They're doing a special until the end of the month where you get that unit and a refurbished wireless adapter and, if you choose the 2-year service plan, it'll cost you just under $100. It's quite awesome, considering that my local cable company – Comcast – when asked about DVR service told me that I had to upgrade to their Prime package that included two movie channels and it would cost me $56 a month. Um... no thanks Comcast, you bloodsucking bastards.
I'm not sure how this is going to impact my spare time, but I'm willing to bet I'm going to have far less of it. Couch potato, here I come!

Wouldn't you know...

I start up this site to combine everything I do in
one place, make things work better, spread peace
throughout the world, etc. and then I don't take any
time to actually post anything new to the blog. I'm
sorry about that.
Now, those of you who haven't been visiting long might expect me to go from that opening statement into something new and exciting. You regulars know better.
All I've got are a few site-wide changes, new sections, some updates, things like that.
I'll try to be more interesting later in the week. And I'll try to remember to tell you about it if I am.
