I’m not much of a fan for the beveled edges anymore. I think there’s a time and place for them, but the Kubrick theme that comes with WordPress is a tad overkill, although a slick theme for someone with no design or CSS skills. I will be building my own theme over the next few weeks and at some point this site will go straight text as I migrate attributes. All content will be in place over the next few weeks, but watch for changes and hiccups as the look and features shift.

In fact, so much so, that I found I needed a little creative outlet to have some fun with in order to keep my sanity. Over the past few years, I have been actively honing my craft in illustration and love the art of t-shirt design. While this new design is simple, I find it kind of cool in its simplicity and truly is the beginning to some other designs I have yet to work on, but hope to get out in the near future. You will find two designs so far, but I’m planning at least one more and maybe two.

Feed Me RSS - T-Shirt The button was found on Michal Migurski’s site via a link from Thomas Vander Wal’s blog posting on the same button. I liked this button so much that I wanted to see it on a shirt. Maybe it’s the geek in me, but I thought a t-shirt design was in order to display this button to the world. I shot an email over to Mike and proposed using his button for a t-shirt design. All he asked in return was his name on the shirt and reference to his site. I also broke out of the initial asking and made mugs to go along with the shirts. I figured most people who would buy the shirts would also like a coffee/tea mug on their desk.

The swag in question can be found at my storefront on CafePress. Along with the RSS swag, I have some sport bike swag for any rider enthusiasts out there. I will begin to add more over the next few weeks and as time permits before and after the aforementioned window.

She asked me to describe in a few words what I thought my ideal place of employment would be. I reciprocated “Fun,” “Energetic,” “Growth” and “Creative.” Here was her response:

“Why in God’s name are you working in this town then?”
Recruiter – Unknown Staffing Agency

Nuff said!
