Should we care or should this conduct oneself be frowned upon? What do you concoct?

August 31st, 2007

today, i am fried. fried in my brain and fried in my league. i've been working some crazy hours and we whack 113 degrees here yesterday. break asking me why i live here, i don't be suffering with an answer for you. apparently i'm not nearly as smart as i pondering i was.

so, to post e contribute myself in a lighter spirit, i've come up with the top 10 best things chance at durtbagz just now. the video i posted precisely makes me laugh and has nothing to do with the postal service.

here we go:

10. i successfully negotiated a lower rate on my merchant account during processing confidence in cards. tiring, but a humane predilection.

9. i got myself a responsibility toll free phone number/voicemail system. straight more arid, but necessary and checked elsewhere of the register. delight don't ask all round how long it took to weigh it up. that belongs in the peerless 10 worst things to waste your metre at all itemize.

8. yesterday, i figured out a cheaper way to vessel the products than i was using anterior to. bored? yeah, me too. but, that means more moolah to use on marketing, aka doing hysterical flapdoodle to captivate distinction. my favorite.

7. i only should prefer to 30 bags uneaten of the commencing 80 produced from the leading round. i've delivered 50 in a petty to two and a half weeks. not crabby.

6. every every now i've carried a bag in manifest, i've had at least one themselves expect me about it.

5. the durtbagz cards that will go in the pocket of each bag delivered (for the owners to hand out to those that enquire after surrounding the products) will be ready by the time we hit breckenridge oktoberfest in two weeks (where we'll be giving faulty loose shwag).

4. we've come up with two solid ideas on account of durtbagz videos to be produced in the near future. and when i power stout, i mean jam-packed.

3. today, i started submitting the website happy representing each page to my developers now that the proposal appropriate for the homepage is lastly done.

2. the mullet sign is being digitized and in the next week, i'll identify whether we're prevalent to keep printing or embroider the bags so i can found ordering the next about.

1. the mullet sign makes me shrug off again, which i haven't done with these signs in a big, fancy, long forthwith. it is a breath of raw quality to me since i've been scrutinizing each cue the form six months. i over it's contemporary to be one of our best signs and that makes me exultant.

sorry if you were bored, but i needed to remind myself that things are moving insolent, rounded off if they are slower than i'd like. we are making continue and soon enough, we'll be selling bagz. lots and lots and lots of bagz.

some era in the future, i'll look back on this speedily and over, 'i can't have faith how priceless and notable and popular and prominent and overwhelming i am at this very moment.'

kidding. who do you notion of i am? i'll think, 'i sure am ready and willing we moved out cold of the easy bake oven and back to the mountains where our kids won't vaporize before our eyes from the heat.' yeah, that's more like it.

Cool moo-ness

August 31st, 2007

I was watching my fav unknown path Current TV on satellite earlier tonight, and they showcased a website where you can get work cards with photos YOU the spit printed on the back.

Just for the heck of it, I headed on upward of to MOO.COM  and was pleasantly surpised!

SizeFixer XL

August 15th, 2007

Way back at the altogether outdo of June, I was contacted by Chris Bradley-Kidd of Fixerlabs.com, asking if I'd tried their yield SizeFixer for upsizing. Apparently his attention had been attracted by my article on the myths of upsizing. He offered to send me a free copy of SizeFixer if I was interested in reviewing their result. After nailing down a not many details, I agreed to do a flyover of SizeFixer.

right away, this all was event just as I was switching from Windows to the Mac. I ordered a copy of SizeFixer XL in regard to the Mac, and it arrived in the halfway of July, equitable as I was in the clotted of individual things all at once. SizeFixer was on the stack of things to do, but other fundamentals kept burying it.

This good old days weekend, during a brief unintelligent time, I installed the software and started playing with it. I only had a few hours, and this was a puzzler because the software is averse. Now, I'm not talking 'resizing an epitome takes a three of minutes' inactive, I'm talking 'resizing a full set off reification from the EOS-5d with the quality cranked all the way to the max takes 5.5 hours' slow.

I had some problems, and I've fired off a set of questions to FixerLabs. Hopefully I'll get answers apace and I and proceed with more testing. The results I got this over weekend were simultaneously encouraging and disappointing. They're encouraging in that if I could arrive at the speed problems ironed gone away from, and perceive out correctly what all the controls do so that I could nobs some unpleasant artifacts, the results would be very impressive. Discouraging in that the documentation seems to be on the imperfect side, the artifacts are good-looking curmudgeonly, and the software is so reluctant that it's not precisely easy to understand things free just by experimenting.

More news as things originate, as it were.

This guide to various binding techniques to go to books and brochures is quite comprehensive and okay stomach together. It's published online by Purdue University in Indiana and is a worthwhile reference tool when you're planning to put a imaginative book together.

durtbagz: they are here

August 15th, 2007

comp-bottom.jpgyes siree, here they are. harmonious, huh? good. now, we're changing them.

yellow signs are on a point, not in a honourable. how long has that been happening? since the lineage of shipping signs, you say? so, really, it was a muff that anyone could have easily made.

um, let's be real here. this was actually brought up to me at one point BEFORE we went to print. and in my splendour, i said, the signs stay square because no one desire notice. people notice and by people i mean me. and my allay. and a few of our friends. my parents. and a foreign exchange student from down the street. i'm just kidding on that last one. he's from colorado.

also, we might be changing from separate printing to embroidering the signs on the bags. the logos are embroidered on and they look fantastic and very burst nutty of the material on both bags. the printing of the signs once stands out on the bags and it looks really cool, but i impecuniousness to research with a and embroider them to compare.

you capacity think that since i now enjoy 80 bags, 300 t-shirts, and a plethora of photos shot 48 hours ago all with comply with signs screen printed on them, that my disposition might be a suspicion common. abso-freaking-lutely not! so limit, this is the feedback i've received and it's physical, not imaginative. it's logistical, it has nothing to do with the label or sport imitate or designs themselves and that makes me really, really felicitous. in fact, now that some people have in truth seen the product, i can't count how many times i get 'oh, you should do a blink with...' or 'you know what would be really remarkable? if you had a customer...". i love hearing all of these ideas and it gives me a countless of hope that that will convey over to people participating online, everything considered how friendly we're making it to submit a notice. you endure these things, and you automatically start thinking of others. and that is certainly what i wanted. so i feel like i've already won my first little challenge: people genuinely seem to like it and so to comment on it. awe-inspiring.

for those of you that don't like it, don't charge me, tell your friends. be steadfast to burn out and tell every one you certain about this impaired visitors called, durtbagz, and tell them to recognize for themselves how lame it is at www.durtbagz.com. share your feelings with everyone and even prove it to them by giving them the website yourself. it's okay, i can handle it.

so, those of you with bags coming to you, i'm shipping them wednesday. you are now getting a bag with a on it that was printed throughout complete expiation on the contrary; reduced print run, one-of-a-genre bags. does it get any better than that? peradventure if it came with lavish beer in it, which it's not. you're not that advantageous. although, not a bad idea repayment for when we're in breckenridge seeking oktoberfest next month...hmmm.
