Threadless T-shirt Design

A Day at the Terrarium - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever
Hey guys, I have a favor to ask.

I have submitted a t-shirt design to Threadless, a t-shirt printing company that lets artists submit ideas and get them printed much like a book publisher would for a writer.  In a few days, once it is approved by their internal crew, they will be allowing public voting on the design.

The favor is for you to all go check it out and vote in favor of its being printed if you like it.

In the meantime, I can tell you about the idea.  Ever wonder if aquatic folk visit terrariums like we would a large aquarium?  The idea struck me as so funny, I decided to sketch it out, and this shirt is the end result.

Stay tuned, as I plan on creating several other submissions for these guys as the ideas come to me.

I have signed up for Pay Per Post

Hey guys, I have signed up and been approved for Pay Per Post, a resource that allows advertisers to put out offers for self publishing blog writers to spread some word of mouth advertising while allowing those bloggers to monetize on their hard work. I love the concept because it can allow me to discover things I would not have been exposed to otherwise. It also allows me to be discriminating with my choice of offers to accept, and to post true opinions instead of compromising my integrity. This means that I can maintain my vigilance towards non-bias reviews, only on a wider array of topics.

I just recently was approved to write for them, and in the process of gaining this approval I learned a great deal. The opportunities are offered on the basis of several ranking systems. One is Google's PageRank which is a calculated comparative value to represent a sites relevance out of the entire internet. Another is Izea's RealRank, which tracks websites who have signed up to be tracked. Izea is a partner of Pay Per Post, and they work together to provide a user friendly way of maintaining a healthy blog.

I first heard about this opportunity from my buddy over at The Raging Tech. He has been doing this king of posting for a while now, and recommended it to me.

I promise that everything I write for them will be disclosed, and written with my standard critical style. Pay Per Post even requires that a blog can not post paid material more than 50% of the time.

That's right, it really seems like a win-win situation.
