Frontalot on the NERDCORE RISING song fight...

Check out the MC's take on the song fight entries.

If you're not up for reading thru the thoughtful and entertaining reviews of all the entries, let me boil it down to the most important takeaway...
cabinboy
this song has a strong point of view. it is very pro-engineer. i support that!!
=)

Voting is open thru Thursday. I don't see "Feature Creep Blues" climbing the chart, but if you feel like throwing your democratic weight around, I'm not gonna stop you—VOTE!

Thanks for your support.

Keep on geekin on~

Vote: Hail To The King Baby!

Still another visual pun design up. Hail To The King Baby. This may be the groaniest of the bunch, but of course, in my eyes, that's not a bad thing. It's too bad I need a really unreasonable deadline in a weirdly-regulated contest (submissions and voting on those submissions begin the same day) to motivate me to produce stuff. Even if it is ridiculous crap.

Blerg.

Voting on the visual puns closes at noon tomorrow. Even if you're not a woot member-customer, check out the designs for some mental sour patch kid enjoyment. =)

ALSO—VOTE FOR MY SONG "FEATURE CREEP" AT THE NERDCORE RISING SONG FIGHT! You can vote from any and all of your Twitter or email accounts. Punch my chad!


Keep on keepin on~

p.s. Yeah, the inspiration of this pun SHOULD be punctuated with a comma, but whatev. Puntistic license, nyeah.

Vote: *FREE* HOT AMATEUR CAM ACTION!

Got a new visual pun design up. The title above is in the spirit of the pun, not the actual pun itself. Hopefully woot management won't reject this due to the celebrity likeness involved. Given the meme-ness of the inspiration, it just didn't occur to me that it would be an issue.

Well, that and the weakness of the grasp of my sleep-deprived senses on what most of you perceive as shared reality.


Keep on keepin on~

Please click on over to the shirt.woot derby to check out my "girl sheep vacuum" t-shirt design submission. This week's derby theme: visual pun! I didn't include the pun-translation in the shirt comp or title, but it IS now in the comments below it.

Note that you need to be signed in at shirt.woot *and* have made a purchase at a woot online outlet to vote.

Thanks for your support! =)
