The New Nerdy & Hip is Alive

I’ve been helping Rachael get her new shop up and running, and the culmination of our efforts have arrived.

Announcing the brand new Nerdy & Hip!

We totally redid her website and added a full-fledged shopping cart experience to it. This will let her conduct more sales directly, not just through her Etsy shop. Check it out!

One apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree

tYou may remember this from 2004. Now, the kid has his own blog and is doing his own blog posts.

Be sure to check out the one and only Gray Chatham. And then there is his Twitter feed. Oh, and his Youtube channel.

It has been really interesting to watch him ‘grow’ into the always-on, networked, online world. Much of it he learns through Minecraft, and thanks to Minecraft he recently bought his first piece of Internet meme clothing: the trollface t-shirt.

Some Updates

Here are some updates of what has been happening around here lately.

First, I moved in with Rachael a few weeks ago, and last week they pulled a dead person out of the apartment downstairs. He or she had been there long enough to stink up the stairwells pretty bad. The EMS folks had to wear full-on biohazard suits. Check it out:

Dax and I went out to a farm in Clyde with Gary and his girls to check out a party where they were building a real, working trebuchet. Unfortunately, there were a series of setbacks, and they never got the thing working, but it still looked pretty cool.

Rachael and I attended the 16th Annual James Brown Oktoberfest, which was the first time for both of us, where I walked away with the Best Male Costume prize.  No one else was able to pull of the German pimp look as well as I. I owe it all to Rachael, of course, since she sewed my costume (and her own as well).

That’s all for now. Stay tuned!
