As I’ve said before, last year the good folks over at Linux Mint turned me on doing web searches with DuckDuckGo. I’ve ended up moving all of my web searches to DDG, partly because they don’t track you like a certain 600-lb gorilla of the search industry does but also because their !bang searches let me do searching on a specific site when I want to. (Please note, other sites may track your !bang searches although DDG doesn’t.)
If you haven’t tried searching with DDG you really should. You may be amazed at the good results you’ll find.
Over the weekend I made a new cat image, but it’s not really a LOL so I’m not posting it to I Can Has Cheezburger. I did post it on the Big Face, however, and I’ll also post it here.
One of the banes of any smoker is having people come up to them and ask if they can bum a smoke, or is they have an “extra smoke.” I’ve heard people respond to the latter with, “Sorry, this pack didn’t have any extra cigarettes, just the usual 20.” Yeah, I know, it’s a smart-ass remark but it suited the person who said it. Several years ago I heard someone say something that was just a matter of time before it made it’s way to a t-shirt or something.
With the great response that I’ve gotten to my Vending Machine buttons (shown below) I’ve created the Live/Die design as both buttons and tees. It’s the perfect amount of snark for smokers who are sick of people asking them to support their smoking habit, and it’s available in ten different t-shirt and tank styles, including the cool tye die tee shown above. If you don’t want it in a tee you can also get it in both small and large buttons.
For those who didn’t see my announcement on Facebook and Twitter the Vending Machine button is on the left, and you can click on it to see the buttons in the Penguin gear store.
By now you should know that I have reopened the No To Love t-shirt store on Spreadshirt, and if you’re wanting to order something to wear on Valentine’s Day you are almost out of time. Unfortunately you missed the free shipping offer and the last days to order with standard or premium shipping to get your order in time. Since everything from No To Love is printed to order you need to order by 11:59 pm EST tonight if you want to pay for express shipping and get it so you can enjoy it on Thursday.
There is a wide range of tees, hoodies, jackets, mobile device cases and other accessories available for purchase, and every one will be something you’ll want to wear and use not just on Valentine’s Day but all year round as you let people know you’re not on the romantic market, whether it’s because you’re heart got broken too recently, you’re just too busy for romance, or even if you’ve decided you don’t want anything more than good friends or either gender.
Go check out all the products available at No To Love and place your order NOW!
It’s been a busy Sunday over at the No To Love Spreadshirt shop. While I’m waiting for your votes in the Tennyson poll (have you voted yet?) I created a slightly different version of the Been There Done That design to remove the last line and in addition to the tees that already had the design I’ve put it on long sleeve tees, tanks, and accessories like a couple of different bags, a travel mug, and even a bandana.
There are also a some new items with the No Broken Hearts logo on them, including a tank top for the guys and a t-shirt dress for the women. This week I’ll try to get thumbnails of each of the items for each design posted either to the No To Love page here or on Facebook. Of course over at Facebook you can still click the T-Shirt Shop link button on the page and see all the products we have available, but if you shop in our Spreadshirt shop itself you’ll want to make a point to check out the color boxes under each product image. Those are all the colors the item is available in, and it’s very rare that an item is only available in a single color. (If you use our Facebook app you’ll need to click an item’s picture to see what colors it’s in.) While you can’t change the colors of the design itself you can pick any of the colors the item is available in, and when you click the color box the item will change to that color so you can see if you like how the design looks on it.
Remember, Valentine’s Day is just a week and a half away so make sure you have your No To Love clothes and gear ready so you can spend the day sending subtle messages that you’re not interested in romance that day.
I’ve uploaded a new design to the No To Love store: Tennyson. We’ve all heard his line about loving and losing, and many of us know what a crock it can be. Even Will Smith’s character spoke for us at the end of Men in Black II.
Currently this design is only available on cases for mobile phones and tablets, and I have a question for you guys about t-shirts and other clothing items. My current thinking is to have the quote itself on the front with the bottom of the design on the back, including the store’s URL, as shown below.
What I’d like everyone to tell me is should the design be split to the front and back of the tee with the logo on the back, split the design between the front and back without the logo on the back, should it all go on the front with the logo or put it all on the front and dump the logo completely? Tell me in the poll, and I’ll announce the results on Monday afternoon, 4 February.
Updated 4 Feb 2013: The poll is closed, and I have to say I’m disappointed at the response. I’ll decide how I want to print the design on a case by case basis. I’ll leave comments open in case you want to voice your opinion.
Not only have I put the No To Love Facebook page online it also has it’s own Spreadshirt Partner Shop app! Just use the link above to go to our Facebook page and click the Spreadshirt Partner Shop button to browse and buy our products without even leaving Facebook.
Of course you could always just go to the No To Love shop itself, and there you can filter the products by the design and type of products available. Is there a kind of product you want one of our designs on that isn’t available? Just let us know in the comments!
Today I was finally able to get my new No To Love store open with a few products available. The only designs I have available are No Broken Hearts and Been There/Done That but I hope to have more designs available in the coming days. For now you can check out the No To Love page on this site to get a glimpse at the designs I have available or you can just head right on over to the No To Love store and start seeing what you want to get.
Just a reminder, today’s the last day to get the FREE STANDARD SHIPPING on anything in both the Penguin Gear shop and the new No To Love store. Just use the coupon code FREELOVE when you check out.
