blue monster hot t-shirt action yeah baby
The Blue Monster has made it on to T-shirts. Very cool. Microsoft's James O'Neill explains:
If you look at Microsoft's Values you find "Taking on big challenges and seeing them through.". The PC - the Windows PC - has changed the world. So now what. Stop ? Or find ways to change the world again ? If we're not prepared to do that what are we doing here ? So Change the world or go home is part mission statement, part call to arms.I utterly concur. Thanks, James!
Yes. I know. By the time Upper Management spots the Blue Monster, it'll be too late. Exactly.
[UPDATE:] Robert Banghart left the following in James' comments:
"Change the world or go home" makes me happy to be a [Microsoft] partner every time I hear or see it. When I recently told it to one of my clients, he immedidately stole it for his own motto and he ends every telephone conversation we have with it.[UPDATE:] Microsoft's Steve Clayton has some Blue Monster T-shirts to give to a loving home etc. Rock on.

ta
I've always liked the drawing, Hugh. And I find it interesting that Microsoft, a company that has never had an original idea, has adopted it at their grassroots level. That's just too perfect!
