We’ve sold “Make tea not war” stuff!

Make Tea Not War
About a week ago we had the happy surprise of an e-mail saying that someone had bought some “Make Tea Not War” shirts from our CafePress shop. Very cool, eh?

I was mildly surprised to discover that we get told the name (but no other info) of people that purchase from our shop. On the one hand this isn’t too weird – if they purchased from us directly we’d know a whole lot more than that. On the other hand it’s totally unnecessary for us to know anything about them, so I was a bit surprised that they told us the name.

This initial purchase was by some friends of ours here in Morris that had already expressed some interest, so no huge surprise there. Last night, however, I got an e-mail saying there had a been another purchase, and this is by a stranger! Lord knows how they found us, but we’re thrilled to know that they or someone they know will be wearing our sentiment. Hope you enjoy the shirt!

We’ve ordered a bunch of our own “Make tea not war” stuff as Xmas prezzies, and I really like the large mug that we bought for ourselves while we were ordering. It’s quite large, and nice and heavy – it feels like it’ll really last. The fridge magnets are also pretty cool and make nifty stocking stuffers, and the tote bag turned out all spiffy as well.

Sub-Evil’s year end radio round-up

Trumpet and quilt
A huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sub-Evil Boy, who today turns a mighty 12. We had a nice party at the RFC yesterday with a group of his friends swimming, playing games, and consuming loads of pizza grease and corn syrup.

Today’s the actual birthday and is mostly family time, including our year end radio show on KUMM (their site is currently a mess due to repeated hacking, but you can still listen on-line). We couldn’t do our normal 2-4pm slot because of the way they’ve organized the slots for finals week, so we’re doing a noon-3pm show today. The first hour was entirely music chosen by Sub-Evil boy and is a pretty excellent sample of what he’s been listening to this year. The entire list is below, and it’s full of fine stuff worthy of a spin. I really love the diversity of his taste in music; I know I’m biased, but he’s just such an interesting guy.

Before getting to his playlist, though, I should apologize for the near silence here. It’s the whole end of the semester, look at all that grading, oh there are research submission deadlines looming, we need to make a Christmas card, what faucets are we going to use when we remodel the bathrooms, and I need to personally prop up the Multinational Economy through my holiday purchases thing. I do plan on replacing the annoying CAPTCHA implementation with the much nicer on that’s currently being used on WeatherGirl’s Station, and follow-up on Jane’s request for more photos from the local embroidery show. Not to mention finish up and post a few of the zillion half-formed things queued up here.
