Spent sometime on this one. The first design I’ve done via vector/illustrator. I figured it was time to learn sometime. I am no professional or anything but I am slowly learning my way around. I think toying with things is the best way to learn about them.
Anyway, I don’t know if Beattie is going to print these but if he does I think they will do well. The current best seller is still my “Fighting Lion” design I did way back. I am honored everyone still buys that. I hope if this gets printed it will outsell the latter.

I signed up for a new service today called Posterous. What is Posterous well it’s a mobile blogging platform. Posterous operates mainly through email. I have it setup to work with my Sidekick email. You pretty much just post. You can write whatever you want and attach a variety of files. From pictures to audio, word docs to pdf’s. There is no support for movies (yet?) but it does convert youtube links into youtube players.
I think the service is great and have been playing with it all day. You can check it out @ http://jayfarmington.posterous.com and maybe get coaxed to sign up. The truth is this is another web service that I will use for a week, maybe less and then forget about. Yes it does offer the ability to update Flickr and Twitter but I can do that from my cell phone without Posterous. It’s not that the service isn’t great, it is. The design of the website is flawless but do I need another social media/social network to talk about what I’m doing?
I guess Posterous falls in between Slackerstyle and Twitter. Everyone knows to follow my Twitter as I update regularly but at the same time what if I want to write more? What if I want to talk about me? Even then do I need a “side blog” to talk about me? I own this website… I can talk about myself all I want.
Anyway, give it a chance check out http://www.posterous.com and see if you fit in. If not, well I’ll understand.

I figured I would see how this would fair on here. I am selling my T-Mobile Sidekick 3. It is in mint condition and ready to ship to you in its original boxing. This is the famous Sidekick I did all my ranting and raving about. I have taken good care of it and now with the Sidekick LX occupying my life I have no need for it. Truth be told I have two Sidekick 3’s so one needs to go.
If you are interested please use the contact form found up top ^ and make me an offer. No lowball offers please. I still think the SK3 has the best keyboard ever shipping with a Sidekick. Plus you get to own a part of Slackerstyle history. I will include some kind of certificate of authenticity if you really want haha. Seriously though, just make an offer!

Well in case you failed to watch one of the best games of the year Manchester United, my brother’s team and quite possibly the best soccer team on the planet today won the European Championships as expected. They defeated Chelsea in penalty kicks. Van Der Sar was the hero of the day. Really an amazing game.
Naturally it was nice to see my brother’s team win. My boys on Real Madrid won the Spanish Championships so I am more than satisfied. Now we move onward towards the Euro Cup. Where the Champion’s League was teams around Europe, Euro 2008 is for countries. I will be firmly backing Portugal as always. They are captained by this years football player of the year Cristiano Ronoldo and look extremely promising. The big surprise of the group is Poland! More on all of that at another time.
Right now I am moving all of my crap out of my room and into another room down the hall. No matter where I live I never have a room that is cool and comfortable. It’s always 90 degrees where I sleep and it sucks. What am I going to do in the California heat? Wait what was that? California? Huh? You will find out eventually. Omg, shocker!
I shipped out 3 more copies of “Vacuum Grievance” today, thank you to everyone who is buying. To those who haven’t please head over to THEWORLDISNOTREADY and get a copy before they run out. We are down to number 12 of 25.
