Found via The Daily What. This is crazy but really creative and awesome.
Hey Systemics! I’ve got some things in the works and want your input, something I’m hoping to do more of going forward. For now, let’s talk about sharing for a sec. Your answers to any or all of these questions in the comments would help me help you to help me again. To sweeten the deal, if I get over 20 people to respond I’ll post custom artwork to this thread for all! So help a dude out and answer some simple questions as much as you feel comfortable:
I’m going to take the answers and try to better set up the content to be shared the way you share them. Thanks, Systemics!
UPDATE: Since you guys were so helpfully amazing, here’s that custom piece of art I mentioned. This is from an upcoming postcard series I’m thinking of doing. Click on the tiny for the biggy.
I’ve learned my lesson. When people say they want a thing on a shirt, they don’t want a reinterpretation of the thing on the shirt. They want the thing. On the shirt.
How’s this for a shirt design? Colors? I didn’t want to do another black shirt. Then again I want to do a shirt people will buy. So?
UPDATE: Thanks to all of your help, it’s been fixed up and is now for sale! Check it out here »
It’s funny. Keep refreshing it, it gets funnier. LINK »
UPDATE: It gets even funnier! Check out the source code. (Thanks, Systemic Tate!)
This was sent in by one of your fellow Systemics, but I didn’t write down who Systemic Lionthetiger. Whomever it was, thanks muchly!
Seemingly by the same people that brought us Lost Cat / Problems with Designers comes this gem about a graphic designer, doing work for a client, and not getting paid. Again, told in emails:
From: David Thorne

To: Simon Edhouse
Subject: Re: Logo DesignDear Simon,
Disregarding the fact that you have still not paid me for work I completed earlier this year despite several assertions that you would do so, I would be delighted to spend my free time creating logos and pie charts for you based on further vague promises of future possible payment. Please find attached pie chart as requested and let me know of any changes required.
Regards, David.
Don’t you want to go read it now? I’m sure you do. LINK »
It seems Apple has filed for a bike-related patent. From Kottke.org:
While we’re on the subject of bikes, according to a recently filed patent, Apple is looking at making a smart bike. I look to the future and I see 1) Consternation that Apple has signed an exclusive agreement to release the bike on Trek frames only for a period of 3, 4, or 5 years depending on which rumor you believe. 2) Several media stories crediting Apple for popularizing the riding of bikes. 3) Several media stories criticizing Apple for claiming they popularized the riding of bikes, even if they didn’t.make that claim, 4) Much rejoicing 3 weeks after release of the bike when someone has figure d out how to jail break the phone into a fixed gear. 5) 250 posts from John Gruber refudiating predictions of iBike failure. I look forward to all of it.
Here’s the post on Kottke. Here’s the story it links to.
G-ddammit why did I have to call it the iBike.
Remember my good friend Jami Noguchi? He’s got a new project in store, and it may hurt your brain a bit. Or maybe you’ll love it. Honestly, I go both ways and it makes me make weird faces. This is puppy cow:
He needs your wuv—I mean, “love”. Jamie wants to make plush toys of this little monstrosity. If you want to support him, check out his Kickstarter info below. The way Kickstarter works if you pitch in 5, 10, 25$ or whatever increments you support the project, get free swag, and of course a puppy cow when all the money has been raised. If all the money doesn’t get raised in time (in this case a month) everyone gets their money back. It’s a pretty sweet system. For details on what you can get and more on the project, click down there. Oh and be sure to watch the Kickstarter intro video, watch out for me looking drunk (but actually just very very tired).
Sorry Systemics, no Monday comic (obviously enough by now), but things will get back to normal on Wednesday. In the meantime, how about a quick dive through the comic archive? If you haven’t seen it, it’s new to you!
My original art submission for the Gulf Coast Webcomics Auction has a little over 16 hours to go as of this post. I already talked about it here but you can just go straight to the eBay page and check it out. Come on, it’s only at $24.50 right now! We can do better than that. You’re making me look bad in front of the other webcomics.
Connecticon! What a blast! What a show! What an experience! What a way to spend a weekend! If you want to see some pics I took during the weekend, check them out here.
This is a long post, so see the rest after the cut…
