Schwag, take one
August 6, 2010
Once upon a time back in the old days on Scienceblogs, I came up with the brilliant idea (thank you, thank you) that I might like to have a coffee cup and a t-shirt with the DM logo on it. It took a remarkably long time for that to turn from idea to reality but suffice it to say it turned out ok using cafepress. Conveniently, this also permitted me to hand out door prizes to readers. Unfortunately, that little game is on furlough because cafepress seems to have changed their gift certificate process and I can’t figure out how to make it work the way I want. No matter, I”m anticipating the revenue stream that was funding those is about to dry up anyway. Oh well.
At any rate, I’ve been playing around with the DrugMonkey Swag Shop, trying to come up with some new logos to reflect the new blog host. Nothing too fancy yet, just a straight swap of the URL and signature platform icon. Now the real key will be to get my fellow Scientopians to start working on their own swag shops. I like my own stuff and all but I really need a rack of coffee cups with all y’alls logos on them.

long story short, it and my ass hit the ground. and it is at least fortunate that my ass is not made of porcelain.

Love your blog, but my PO would probably disapprove. 🙂

So Grrrl has made a note that issues of formatting be pointed out for the purposes of kinks, and it’s worth noting, reading this in firefox, that your second image is crossing the boundary below. I’ve screencapped it, if you know where the cap needs to go…
