I’m reposting this here for added exposure:
This post is to let everyone know that I’m nearly ready to print a run of the long-awaited Fueled by Vice Shirt. And when I say I’m nearly ready I mean that I have all the necessary materials prepared aside from the shirts to print them on, since I don’t know how many people want these things, and what sizes of shirts to purchase. I’d much rather do a run of several shirts rather than make them one at a time since it would require set up and clean up after each shirt if done the second way, and would end up being way more time consuming. So I need you, my loyal reader’s/fan’s/friend’s/people who like shirts/ input. If you can start to send me emails concerning the number of shirts you would like, and the size’s that you would require I’d like to try to do a pre-order type deal over the course of this week.
To make it easier for me to sort out the mails, use the handy Pre-order link at the end of this post.
In case you’ve forgotten what the design is looks like, I’ve provided this tiny-ass image to refresh your memory:
I’m anticipating the going price of the shirts to be around $12, unless you’re local and can buy your own shirt and give it to me sometime this week. I have little idea of what it will cost to ship these puppies so the price might fluctuate a bit depending on that. It’s going to be a single color print, white, so keep that in mind if you will be bringing me a shirt to print on. Otherwise I believe black will be the color of choice unless I get an overwhelming opinion to the contrary. Then I might be more flexible.
Pre-order your fueled by vice shirt today!

Saxomaphone

Maybe it was years of high school band and the yearly onslaught of Christmas jazz that turned me off, but the sounds of that hornish woodwind never turned me on. Â Morphine is pretty good, but they never really knocked me out of my socks.
No saxophoning did, until Cowboy Bebop and its theme song Tank by the Seatbelts changed my mind for one glorious tune.  I’ve heard jazz before and it’s been pleasant, but the sax always sounds smarmy and seemed to exude a contrived type of free-form artistry to me.
Tank is different in that that sax gets wailed on like Artemis’ junk. Â The live version tops even the studio performance for raw energy. Â You can’t rock a guitar or a set of drums any harder than that saxophone gets rocked on that track and I’m afraid it just doesn’t get any better than that.
Seriously, I’m afraid.  So if you have any music suggestions of great songs/bands with saxophones please post them in the comments. I re-realized I have no sax music (save that one song) and I’m willing to give it another shot.

I came across this article while not populating a database with employee information (just being honest.) The first half isn’t too interesting, but about where you read ‘Enter the Gamers’ it picks up a bit (for me, anyway.) I haven’t decided on a position in regard to this. I’m no expert in psychology, but I would consider myself to be a bit of a gamer, as I would imagine most of you might consider yourselves. From that standpoint, I thought we all might have something interesting to say about it. Enjoy!

Business is Going to Pot

I made a trip to the commode this morning (yay for me!) and I heard someone talking from one of the other stalls. I went down a list of possiblities to alieviate my initial confusion: Is he talking to himself? Too coherent. To another, nearby defecator? I see no evidence of whom, and hear no responce? Is he on THE PHONE? Yes, in point of fact, he is. And, as I continue listening (there’s not much better to listen to in the Men’s Room) he’s on a conference call. He even interupt that call to take ANOTHER CALL, all with his pants around his ankles.
A few thoughts:
- I don’t really think we’ve considered what “Work Anywhere” really implies.
- When the day comes that it is a non-issue to take a shit and talk to the CEO, how will “professionalism” be defined? Will jerking-off while talking to your boss be consider acceptible?
That’s all I got. Enjoy.

so, a few posts down i complained about the 1.11 wow patch….then a few days after that, i stopped playing the game. and a few days after that, i put my account up for sale on ebay. the weeklong auction is coming to and end, and at the moment, the current bid is..well, you just have to go see for yourself. The auction has over 2000 page views, i’ve fielded about 20 questions from people about the account, and it has around 10 people watching it.
theres still the hurdle of getting payment and making sure blizz doesn’t cancel the account, but if it all goes through, its a ridiculous amount of money that i am on the verge of receiving for playing a video game for a year and a half. and its a new soft top for my jeep, and money left to play around with.
