Happy Easter

So, when you eat your chocolate bunny on Easter, do you go for the ears first?

"My butt hurts!" "What?" Chocolate Easter bunnies design available at CafePress, Zazzle, e-shirt, and Spreadshirt.

Vampires do not work that way

2009-03-23T03:00:00.000-07:00

Just when I thought Twilight-mania had run its course, I started seeing the word "trending" on Twitter the other day. Apparently it just came out on DVD.

Vampires don't sparkle

For the uninitiated, in the movie/book Twilight, the reason vampires can't go out when it's sunny outside is NOT because the sun would BURN THEM UP. It's because the sun just makes them too darn pretty, and that would cause a commotion.

In the comments at Howard-Empowered People, Holly posted a link to this story, a press release from NOW-New York State:

Senator Ted Kennedy Betrays Women by Not Standing for Hillary Clinton for President

Seriously? That's really the way they want to go with this? And then comes the sub-heading...

Ultimate Betrayal Felt by Women Everywhere

Whoa. Not just betrayal, but ultimate betrayal. By women everywhere.

I don't know about you, but as a woman, I find that just a teeny bit insulting. Doesn't a female candidate deserve to be judged by the content of her character, rather than the content of her... underwear?

Update: After I posted about this story, Demetrius came up with this

Barack Obama wins South Carolina Primary

2008-01-26T21:03:00.000-08:00

Via Yahoo News

Barack Obama routed Hillary Rodham Clinton in the racially charged South Carolina primary Saturday night, regaining campaign momentum in the prelude to a Feb. 5 coast-to-coast competition for more than 1,600 Democratic National Convention delegates.

Updating the My Left Wing Store

2008-01-23T11:05:00.000-08:00

Originally posted at My Left Wing on January 18

I mentioned in the first comment of yesterday's Question of the Day that I was working on the My Left Wing store. I had this idea a while ago when I was considering making another donation to this site. But any monetary donation our family can afford would necessarily be small. Having worked on our own Cafe Press (and other "print on demand" stores) over the past couple years, I have reached a point in the learning curve where I believe that I can actually help make this store profitable over time. That way it could be a "recurring donation" of sorts.

Why I'm doing this... Maryscott mentioned toward the bottom of her post here that the writers' strike could be expected to do some serious damage to her family's finances. Also, I've had this "I need to make things better at MLW" drive for some time now.
...

Click the image below to see some of the new designs. You'll notice that most of them are rather generic "leftie" designs rather than being specific to My Left Wing. I have every confidence that, over time, this store could by quite successful independent of the support of the MLW community. But with your support, that can happen much faster.

I don't even mean supporting it by buying stuff, although, of course that would be great. But I would appreciate suggestions of more liberal slogans I can add.

Right now my focus is just to get a buttload of designs up, complete with tags/keywords so that they can be found in the marketplace. So we're not planning to do anything with the design aspects of the store any time soon. I say this, because I can just imagine someone suggesting that. :p

Also, I haven't put all the designs on all the available items. Buttons, for example, are more of a PITA to do than just slapping the same graphic on all the available clothing items. So if a design you like is not currently available on an item you want, please drop me a note at ohiorenee(at)gmail.com and I'll take care of that.

P.S. Some of these designs are also available at Printfection and myleftwing (Zazzle gallery)

Stephen ColBEAR

2007-08-20T15:50:00.000-07:00

Demetrius has been modeling some new animals in 3D so that we can have a wider range of species in our section of animal designs. This week he's been working on members of the bear family--polar bear, panda bear and brown bear. And it struck me that he just had to do this...

Available at Cafe Press, Printfection, Zazzle, and Goodstorm.

The following was also inspired by The Colbert Report

Weird Al/White and Nerdy

Demetrius took Daughter in Ohio to her first Weird Al concert last week.

The following design was inspired by the song White and Nerdy

Hound of Heck

It's been a while, but I thought I'd share one of the new designs Demetrius has up. I've dubbed it the Hound of Heck. :)

From the "I feel fantastic" video

2007-06-23T07:05:00.001-07:00

Here's the re-rendered version of the video Demetrius did for the Popular Science Magazine contest.

And stills of some of the details you might have missed...

The "driving pill"--ain't it adorable?

No messages? Ask your Doctor about MessageX!

On the wall in the cubicle--

--a picture of the "half pony/half monkey" monster. Demetrius actually made that out of other stuffed animals (kind of disturbing to see the stuffed horse head lying on the couch in our office) and it now lives in our daughter's room. Well, if you can call that a life...

From the sign featuring the "pretty girl that I met at the pharmacy"...

Line too long? Ask your doctor about Cutzies. Available in oral doses and suppositories. So, if YOU are tired of waiting, you can take a pill or stick it up your butt!
