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 Logo Recreated

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 has arrived!

Well the Squarespace Twitter month-long madness has finally ended and the winners have been sent their prizes. My package from Squarespace arrived last week with the gift card and accompanying shirt printed on an American Apparel Tri-Blend track shirt.

It had been awhile since I had visited the AA site since I haven’t printed or bought any shirts for some time so I went to check out if there was anything new and correct me if I’m wrong, but is this not Dustin Wing modeling the tri-Cranberry shirt?

My official AA modeling entry is on the left. DWing is on the right…

#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.

So here’s the deal, right now Squarespace is putting on a contest via twitter where they randomly choose one tweet every day for 30 days (there are 19 days left) that includes “#squarespace.” I had started whoring myself out the second or third day of the contest with an average of 3 tweets a day dedicated to the magic word. I was watching the number of followers/participants in the contest grow exponentially every day that the contest continued and figured I was out of luck after the first few days. However, on day 9 I twittered…

“new iPhone or new puppy for my wife for our anniversary? I’ll leave it to fate and let #SQUARESPACE decide.”

and “i think i need to have more followers to be a #Squarespace winner. i don’t bring enough publicity to the table.”
So, I’m not sure which one did the actual trick but I got a direct message from @squarespace asking me for my info and they said the gift card and tshirt were on their way! I have decided that number 9 is my new lucky number and it also happens to be one of my favorite restaurants in Long Beach.
