How awesome is this shirt? Of all the Obama merch and art that has been raining from the sky, this one is refreshingly fun that made me LOL.

Wish I’d Thought of It Moment #1

12.22.2008

This may become a little running series, but I wish I’d thought of this. I saw this card online today and it literally made me laugh out loud. The copy is so simple, but so perfect. This is my style of humor, and how can you deny the awesomeness of letterpress. Check ‘em out.

New GYLo Site

So it was even more of a treat when I found this link (via [...]

Got it good

05.2.2008

The new Got Milk site is pretty rad. There are games that you can play and download carton creature prizes if you win. They’re even doing a crossword puzzle contest with the winner receiving a MacBook Air. It’s only open to residents of California though. So that’s lame. Check it out nonetheless. Great way to [...]
