An amazing case of idiocy (the “photographer” is a lawyer with IP experience), maliciousness (this required more effort than the perpetrators would have you believe), and lying (read the comments for total BS from the thieves themselves–like the Getty comparison, ha!).
Hat tip to Jordan from Adlist (a subset of Adland) for the link.
I’ve just added two new versions of the BAP I don’t suck shirts to my Spreadshirt.com shop. These new shirts have the text reversed, so that you can read it every time you look in the mirror, to reinforce your positive thinking, but people who look at you as you walk through the grocery won’t immediately get it.
If you’d like to see this text on other products, or have any ideas you’d like to suggest, please let me know!
MSNBC.com has a Men’s Health article I think we all can use. It discusses “office ADD”–the over-connected, distracted, frantic life so many of us are leading these days at work, and spilling into the home. I know many of you do unhealthy things like check email at home, after working hours. This article discusses how endemic it is to our working culture and offers some solutions.
Don’t blow off the solutions. The world will not end if you don’t check email for hours. You won’t lose the best gig you ever had a shot at getting because you stopped working at 5:30pm and gave yourself a life outside of your business. Take some time and think about what is really important–you can’t do your best work if your brain is fried, so maybe implementing some of these ideas will help your biz more than looking at your iPhone every 5 minutes. I certainly think so.
This is an experiment. I hope that by accepting voluntary financial "contributions" I can generate enough revenue to permit me to keep writing and still avoid selling outside advertising on any of the products Burns Auto Parts offers. If I can avoid going the ad route or making some of my free services subscription-based, that would be best for all of us.
I hope that from time to time you will find something I contribute here helps your creative business--that's why I write the blog, after all. If in return you'd like to offer a little something financial, that would be great! To do so, just click on the "add to cart" button below, and e-junkie.com (and Google Checkout) will make it all happen. There is no set amount, and no minimum, and every cent will be appreciated. Thanks!
