Suicide Shirts Available!

I have finally figured out PNG transparency, and as such, I have been able to upload the "Dong Suicide" image:



to my shirt store! On black shirts, even!

From the ones I've purchased, Cafepress stuff is decent and the shirts can last quite a while if you actually follow the washing instructions. I forgot and washed mine with the design facing out a couple of times and learned my lesson--but the same thing happened to my expensive FMA tee last month and it was much worse. The white fabric also tended to get a little dingy after a while, though I doubt that will be a problem with black fabric.

I intend to buy one of the black shirts and test it out so I can be sure it's good enough to ask people to pay for. Sight unseen, I can still promise you the product is better than anything I can make with my own crippled, flopping hands.

The Dong Suicide pic is up for a limited time only, since I plan to rotate my stock until I can afford to buy the privilege of having more than one design per clothing item.

Not into shirts? Give someone special in your life the Gift of Dongs! They'll never speak to you again.

Edit: BTW, I have no idea if the design will look good on any color other than black. Caveat emptor on that front while I order a couple and find out for myself.

Buttons: The Great Addiction



I kinda went on a button spree tonight.

There would be 15, but the leaf one sucked too much to share without an overhaul, and the Wicca button somehow managed to not save at all.

Buttons are available now from the awesome and sparkling Studio Whipping Boy Button Store!

Life could be worse, I reckon.

Biking For Yesterday

Eight and a half miles!



Fat guy on a bike!
Fat guy on a bike!
Rode so far, 'cause he don't wanna hike!
Fat guy on a bike!
...WITH DOG.

Back!

THE SITE'S BACK!

Remind me not to let April sneak up on me again next year. I need to get off my ass and switch to a provider that doesn't charge $35 per year for a no-frills domain name. Or maybe one that lets me hide my home address and phone number from wannabe internet detectives.

Update's not done yet. My left wrist situation is dire, though the right one feels no pain at all. I think the flareup must have gotten into gear when I held the leash with my right hand and leaned all my weight on the left while biking pre-Springer. (Which, BTW, is still the best thing since sliced bread.) Thanks to my failure to be normal, soft side of the velcro on my left wrist brace has felted, and now I have to rubber-band it to make the tab stay shut.

Anyone recommend handlebar configurations/inventions to reduce nerve injury, short of adjusting the height of the handlebars (which isn't possible)? A cool person in the comments here mentioned end-caps, and Steve says you can buy those large enough to hang onto and reposition your entire grip.
