I opened up a Cafe­Press store. I've had a cou­ple ideas for bumper stick­ers and other lit­tle trin­kets that I've wanted to make. The cost was low (free) and it's really sim­ple. Or it would be if I wasn't com­pletely incom­pe­tent with graph­ics edit­ing. To be hon­est, I am ter­ri­ble at it. A char­i­ta­ble per­son might describe me as untal­ented, if offered a suit­able bribe. So my offer­ings will be text of what­ever humor or crass com­ments I think up.

I have exactly one item right now: a bumper a sticker. It just says "Kansas: Intel­li­gently Designed" on it. One of the guys at work thought it up, so I'll give him a cut of the prof­its, which will be zero or so. After all, it took him 5 min­utes to think up and it took me 2 and 1/2 hours to make the pic­ture for the sticker. That's right — two and a half hours. Most of that was fight­ing the stu­pid GIMP draw­ing pro­gram. Then MS Paint, which is more suit­able for my tal­ents. Then back to GIMP to redo it for the 6th time and finally get the siz­ing right. Crim­iny. Image manip­u­la­tion on the com­puter is one of the few areas where my skill is exactly zero — I have none whatsoever.

Any­ways, the store is Uncom­mon Things for Uncom­mon People
