Some guy we met at some bar in Atlanta mentioned some website – you know how that goes. It’s called http://threadless.com/. You can upload t-shirt designs, buy yours and others’ t-shirt designs, vote on t-shirt designs… etc. And they have kids T’s and sweatshirts too.

That site led me to the site of designer Travis Pitts. He is a seven-time-awarded designer at threadless and is also making a mosaic of Bettie Page out of dice. I’ve never seen art from dice before but I am quite jealous. It reminds of my dot matrics printer of yesteryear.

At HOW I was telling others about MOPHIE Illuminator Process. This teen entrepreneur takes ideas people have for ipod accessories and has them manufactured – makes them come to life. Great shopping for people who take their ipod everywhere and are looking for innovative ways to get an all-in-one for their phone/wallet/keys/headphones/ipod… which probably led to the creation of the iphone, due in stores in a few days.

One speaker told everyone to get on facebook.com and linkedin.com. I am already a Linkedin member, and don’t see the advantage to joining both, so I didn’t.

I also wanted to see Chip Kidd’s final Superman comic book cover, since we saw early stages of it. A little research found the effeminate strong man relaxing on a cloud.

One site I learned about is being worked on right now, but if you need more Flash-plus-video tutorials, check out http://gotoandlearn.com/download.php.

Last but not least, if you need some tunes, remember the Clermont while chillin’ with Herbie Hancock’s Watermelon Man.

Here’s what we liked from last week. 

1)  Great new “movement” pulled together by one of my favorite blog sites, Tiny Gigantic. Not only does the REPLATE concept have the potential to be an awesome way to battle urban hunger, but the website invites creative people to take pictures, make posters, and come up with other unique ways to spread the word.

2)  Another social commentary site with a great message, brought to my attention by TG. Here again, creative folks are invited to generate inspiring works, participate in art trades and photograph the message and submit for display.

3)  Wise camel has a great post about strippers and their sales techniques, entitled, 10 sales and marketing tips I learned from strippers.  Check it out, it’s a good read!

4) Very cool ad campaign, via Ad Freak blog. “Sure, kids. Try it at Home.”
