Or Saying What You Mean and Wearing It Too<\/h4>\n

Although our modern-day yearning for heraldry is now mostly limited to brand-name endorsement (and to being different, just like everybody else), there is something curiously appealing about becoming a willing and walking billboard.<\/p>\n

The principal reason I love work in the movie industry or for games companies is that there are always so many t-shirts to be had. (I should get a t-shirt clause written into my contracts.)<\/p>\n

But now, I\u2019ve managed to cut out the middle man, and make my OWN heraldry available.<\/p>\n

As you likely know, hosting a web site costs money, and rather than encumber the site itself with advertising and announcements, to place ourselves at the mercy of the dreaded pop-up window (shudder), my webmaster and I have decided that there is a better way to make this happen. (Well, to tell the truth, he decided, he did all the work, I just tag along and get the bucks and the glory\u2026 this is what\u2019s called a co-venture in our modern world.)<\/p>\n

T-shirts. Sweatshirts. Bags. Baseball caps. Stuff to wear.
\nIt\u2019s all happening here<\/a>
\n(We\u2019ve reconfigured the \u201cRetail Therapy\u201d section to accommodate things. Everything else – books, calendars, etc. – has been placed under the heading \u201cAll The Other Stuff\u201d.)<\/p>\n

For the time being, the selection of motifs is limited, but the product range is pretty exhaustive. (Just looking through it all I felt exhausted.)
\nIf we get favorable echoes about the whole idea, we will expand, extrapolate and create.<\/p>\n

And, if I\u2019m lucky, I might even come out of it with some t-shirts\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
