blogcards etc.
The cartoon above, "Wolf vs Sheep" is the design I have on my own personal blogcard. It's what I hand out to people.
I just ordered a new box, in time for the London geek dinner with Robert Scoble on June 7th, and Reboot 7.0 right after that.
The wolf analogy has always suited me. And with the whole Thingamy-Hughtrain schtick going on, it's starting to suit me even more.
Avast, ye scurvies etc.
[UPDATE:] Here's the set menu for the geek dinner. (Right-click to download)
I dunno, I was thinking about coming, but when I saw that there was no crazy string or food fights allowed, I just know that the intellectual tone wasn't going to suit me. Especially after a few beers.
I am impressed that they felt that they even had to mention it....

Might have to work on that. Or not. I didn't much care for "Gawker" at first, either.

what if you want to be a giraffe? then what? what's the price of that?
