I'M HUGE ON TWITTER, the t-shirt


Buy 'em here. I'm traveling in Guatemala, so I'm a few days late blogging this, I hope there are some left!

(disclosure: I earned a few hundred bucks from this, which I plan to donate to a family-run nonprofit that does sustainable technology development work in indigenous communities here.)

You earned a few hundred bucks from the shirt, or the plug? If it's that latter -- that's a pretty sweet deal!

Oh, sorry for not being clear. I earned a few hundred bucks for allowing threadless to make and sell a t-shirt that used the content of my tweet. Like, I licensed the tweet I guess, which sounds super dumb.

I wrote this on twitter, just a stupid fleeting joke! And they contacted me and said they wanted to sell shirts with that phrase on it. Fine, I said. I'm donating the money to an NGO.

Nobody paid me to blog about it. We never accept money for promotional consideration in blog posts. If we were to accept money from an advertiser for putting something on the blog, we'd label it as an ad. This is not an ad.

Hey, Xeni, so it's YOU who wrote that line? That one became a clever and up-to-the-minute tee. I've been looking at it for a few days while browsing TypeTees.com, taking it in a source of inspiration, since I regularly try to concoct a decent slogan without any apparent success. The fact that you're going to pass on the license earnings to a hardworking NGO makes the whole story worth any respectable blog's post, at least. That gesture and your spirit, I believe, go a long way into explaining why I read anything you'll put into words. Congrats.

Why is the bottom right corner of the word bubble distressed? Is it supposed to look like an ancient relic? Like someone finds the shirt 50 years from now and is like "Isn't this cool, it references something from the olden days when people still typed stuff because they didn't have internet chips inplanted in their brains yet." ...and then what, someone brought the shirt back in a time machine to now so it would be even more hillariously out of context, "look it's a shirt from the future that's retro to our time period," How ironic.

Am I overthinking this?

I'm huge. But is the shirt available in a 4X size? Nope. So I no can buy.

Your mom is huge.

On twitter I mean.

Isn't being huge on twitter like being good at 15 piece jigsaw puzzles or drawing ovals?

WTF is a twitter and why does every schmuck on TV/Radio all of a sudden think it's cool?

It's drawing circles perfectly without looking. Now, for those that don't know, Twitter is an interactive chat website that let's you access, talk to, and intermingle with doers, thinkers, and big time stars.

@superduper27, I'll post them on Twitter. Actually, if you follow me and can stand all the updates I'm sending from Guatemala right now, you'll see where the dough's going (along with a lot of the rest of my own personal funds).
