As I mentioned [before](/2007/06/13/unicycle-madness/) I’m now a unicyclist of sorts and, as I should post about soon, I also have a fetish for unique, swanky tshirts- the combination of which brought me to, over the past month or so, immerse myself in the world of professional printing. The result of which I present to you now:

I’m calling it my Crankflip Tee, and it’s been my first hands-on experience with custom tees – how exciting!

Getting more to the point, now that I’ve completed the design I’m getting ready to get it professionally screen printed in a week or two. Since I’ve already had a few inquiries on the shirts from inside and outside the [unicyclist community](http://www.unicyclist.com/) I’ve set up a page for ordering them [here](http://tees.oofn.net).

Over the next few weeks I hope to get much wiser to the ways of low-volume, custom printing. If the experience proves itself to be worthwhile you can expect to see a few more designs to make their way onto quality, sweatshop-free cotton in the not too distant future.

By way of [Laughing Squid](http://laughingsquid.com/create-your-own-simpsons-avatar/) I found a groovy Simpson’s avator [creator](http://www.simpsonsmovie.com/main.html) (part of the Simpson’s movie promo site). Who knew that an appropriately themed [paper doll](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_doll) could be so fun!

Looks like I’m all ready for my [guest appearance](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_guest_stars_on_The_Simpsons). Now to work on that getting famous part…

This is a posting about me and my taste for “interesting” soft drinks. In addition to the usual suspects (like [Jones sodas](http://www.jonessoda.com/) and [Bawls](http://www.bawls.com/)) I also have a fondness for the fly-by-night varieties from major producers as well.

In the past I’ve hoarded [dnL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DnL) and on the off-occasion I eat at a Taco Bell I’m sure to get [Baja-Blast](http://www.dewbajablast.com/home.php) from the fountain. Most recently I stumbled on Lipton’s [Apple Flavored Green Tea](http://www.liptonbrisk.com/products/green.asp) at [WWDC](http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/) last month.

It tastes a lot like I would guess sour apple Jolly Ranchers in liquid form would taste like (and fructose levels commensurate with that). MMmm, give it a try – it’s some good stuff.
