Yesterday I reluctantly stayed up until 2 pm last night partying with friends. Not to say that it wasn’t fun and all, but I’m definitely paying the price today for the debauchery. I chatted with peedie online and she feels the same way. Tonight might be is a journal / Wiiware / chill night.
ps- I solved a rubric cube fir the first time ever! Okay, so my iPhone solved it for me but still, kinda cool right?
pss- my sister made some super tasty rye bread this weekend. Here’s an image of a loaf. I would have taken an after shot, but it went so quick it was almost impossible.

I first heard about Skreened through my facebook friend Walker Evans. Immediately after reading about the concept I thought to myself, “now why didn’t I think of that.” But, almost equally as sweet as me making a ton of money by discovering a relevant new media idea is watching another cool Columbusonian come up with an idea that flourishes. Daniel Fox’s Skreened.com just so happens to be one of these proud gems.
What I think really sets Skreened apart from their competitors are two things. One, their understanding and open use of technology as a driver for their business development and two, their commitment to environmentally sustainable and socially responsible practices. Even its tag line of “ethically custom” suggests this as a company mantra.
All their suppliers are chosen, not only because of their ability to deliver a quality product, but because of something more. Suppliers are also chosen because of their adherence to a tight standard of ethics. These traits, I feel only help to differentiate Skreened as “something unique” in the ultra competitive T-shirt business.
I was so excited about the concept I immediately set up three accounts online to secure the usernames and shop titles that I was interested in preserving. I set up an account for myself, and one for my band EL*7. The cool thing about these free accounts is the ability to create multiple shops. Shops are like stores where you can showcase different types of products. This is really nice if you want to create a consistency among your product offerings.

A little over a week ago, Kyle Gabler, one half of the team responsible for the ridiculously fun Wiiware puzzler entitled World of Goo did all Goo fans a HUGE favor and released the World of Goo soundtrack to the public. Oh yeah, he did us an even bigger solid and released it all for free. That’s F-R-E-E, free!
I couldn’t have been happier as I found the musical score to provide the perfect backdrop to World of Goo’s moody and murky story line. The music was just as integral a component to the game as was the building of goo ball walls, bridges and towers. At least all that wrecking my brain in my feeble attempts to move throughout each level in hopes of guiding my precious goo balls to safety was done while listening to the euphonious sounds of Kyle’s cantilena.
I even loved the music so much I took it upon myself to compile some of my favorite Gooey songs into iPhone formatted ringtones. Don’t blame me if you’re missing calls because you simply don’t want to make the melodious music cease. Listen, share, enjoy!
Thank you 2Dboy
