God Hates Retweets!

I remember hearing that the Westboro Baptist Church was going to come through Long Beach, but never got wind of the big day. Thanks Alayna for reminding me of the amazing counter-protest put on by the people of Twitter. Check out some of the signs at laughing squid.

My personal favorite was this one:

Veer Grand Prize Contest Entry

I entered one of Veer’s daily twitter contests, “Contest #33: Is your Twitter page design deluxe?”, a couple weeks ago for creative custom twitter backgrounds and won! Well, let’s just say they got me hooked with their generosity and here I am entering into the Grand Prize Contest. Here is my official entry into the “Re-create the Veer logo using real-world objects” contest. I wasn’t sure if it would be a spoiler to show it now, but I’ve started to see other entries leaked on YouYube and twitter, etc. And yes, somebody got a tattoo. Bold move, but I wouldn’t say creative.

#SQUARESPACE iPhone FTW!

I can’t believe I forgot to post this, but I won a new iPhone 3GS the other day! With all the other excitement of a new house, a pregnant wife, the doctor visits, a stolen car, dealing with insurance agents, real estate agents, mortgage brokers, lenders, contractors, painters, etc. it got lost in the mix of things. Also, it took me about a day to get over the shock of actually winning.
