Do you love house rabbits?

Do bunnies rule your family?


If you have bunnies as part of your family and would like to get some cute house rabbit related tees, you should check out my wife's shop on Etsy.  In addition to running my own shop, I am also the screen printing golem for my wife's items,  which can be found at http://laseraphincreations.Etsy.com. This shop is strictly hers, and the proceeds are hers to do with as she pleases.

Here are some examples of her tees

With more coming all of the time.

Learn to adapt

Do you adapt to change?

Learn to Adapt (with 45RPM adapter) tee

I'm trying to push this particular tee in January. I'd like to start the year out knowing that people are out there using their brains and listening to and taking opposing viewpoints into consideration.  I'm sometimes guilty of confirmation bias myself, so I know that I'll be making a more active effort to obtain as much relevant information as possible and modifying my stance on issues as appropriate.

I'm hoping to see at least fifteen sales of this particular tee before the end of the month. With that in mind, I'm reducing the price to $11.99 for the rest of the month. I doubt that it will get the fifteen sales, but a person needs to dream.

Learn to Adapt (with 45RPM adapter)

It doesn't have to be black on yellow.

You can request custom color combinations.  I mostly used yellow because the majority of the 45RPM adapters were yellow.  As shown in the first photo, the shirt I just did up for myself used grey for the design/shadows and black for the text.

I've also increased the size of the 45RPM adapter in relation to the shirt, and darkened it up some.  That will be the new format for them.

Now available at both stores.

On sale for $11.99 through the end of January.

The shirt is now available at both of the shops. You can get it at the online store (the preferred choice, for me) - or at the Etsy shop.

New shirt for the IT types and neighborhood 'computer experts.'

Have you tried flinging poo at it? tee

This shirt has an IT department chimp on the phone - reminiscent of Roy and Moss with their classic "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" - but with a decidedly simian perspective.  
Stop by and check it out at The Wits' End

Not-So-Great moments in my computing history.


January, 1981. My first full-fledged computer game programming effort comes to a successful fruition. I had, of course, "programmed" games before that; however, they were either laboriously entered from magazines like COMPUTE!, ANTIC, or A.N.A.L.O.G. or they were simple things done up in the vein of that type of program (not to imply that the magazine programs were simple, just that my efforts were.).

January saw me complete a program that I was quite proud of. It was in Atari 8K BASIC, but it incorporated machine language routines loaded dynamically into Page 6 as needed, display list interrupts, Player Missile graphics (known as "sprites" on other systems), original graphics, "music" and sound effects.

I no longer have the program, so I can't give any screen shots or anything, but it was basically a variation of Space Invaders. The name of this awesome first programming effort?

Save Your Sister From the Alien Sperm!

I am simultaneously proud and shamed.
