Richard and I would like to take a moment and thank all of those who have made a donation to the Screencasters. You are very generous. Donating isn’t a requirement and we rarely ever mention doing so. Don’t want to pressure anyone. We just wanted you to know that we appreciate it. For those of you who haven’t donated…well…don’t feel bad. I rarely donate money myself…honestly. Personally, I wonder where my money goes anyway. I think it disappears as quickly as I make it. Pretty sure, though, that if my wife sold a fraction of her shoes that I would have a lot more money…money that I could donate to FOSS projects. So really, it’s her fault.

Anyway, we are never really sure what to do with this money so it just sits in PayPal and grows over time. It makes for nice emergency money. Although, we have a few good ideas how we could put this money to use. Richard thought about purchasing a diamond tooth to replace the one he lost playing hockey last year (Dude, wear a face mask) and I thought about one of those Flavor Flav clock necklaces to replace the small one that I wear that goes completely unnoticed. Perhaps we’ll still get those things but we had a better idea: Shirts for Ohio Linux Fest (OLF).

We double-checked with the Inkscape board members to make sure that we were able to use the Inkscape icons on the shirt without breaking any rules. I would like to thank Ted Gould especially for being extra helpful. He’s a pretty smart cookie from what I have gathered. That goes for the rest of the board members too. They are all rock stars in my eyes. Thank-you very much.

The idea for this shirt came from a shirt that has been on Jinx forever. We thought it would be fun to make a spoof of a very popular t-shirt. Amazon has a slightly better graphic of the shirt.

Although Richard is unable to attend since he’s getting an 8-track stereo installed in his personal jet that weekend (Oct 11), I’ll be there to give away some shirts to some lucky folks. Yes, I said give away…as in free. Who wouldn’t want a free shirt anyway? Hell, I’d wear a shirt with Pruritus Ani FTW in bold letters across the chest if it were free. Wearing a Screencasters shirt couldn’t be as bad as that, could it?

So if you make it to OLF this year and you’re lucky enough to spot me then you might be fortunate enough to walk away with the gayest coolest t-shirt of all time. I only have a limited amount so they may go fast. Now…if I could only get Richard to set up a CafePress or SpreadShirt store for the Screencasters then perhaps the rest of us could have one too.
