Finally Went Pro

Don’t worry: I’m largely joking. But I got an EMail yesterday from zazzle.com mentioning that the stuff we’re outsourcing to them is now doing well enough to kick /wastedinc up into their ProSeller status.

Which means…erm…apparently, I can do something with this thing:

So…there: it’s official; we’re all, like, ZedPro. Go us.

I guess it’s kinda cool, in that it sets us apart from housewives thumping jpegs of their cats onto TShirts to order from themselves. I’m just a little creeped by the whole Professional Status thing: it means we’re actually kinda doing something; and that can only end in expectations from people.

Also weird is that everything is dated for 2009, when we apparently hit this ProSeller mark [stands to reason: 2009 was when I started actually sending things to zazzle.com, though the account's been there for years now], but the EMail wasn’t sent until…6pm Friday [as supplemental proof of something, I had to scroll down past more recent alerts about people buying shirts; you see how hard my job really is]; I’m not sure when we went all pro, or how much downtime elapsed until we were told about it.

But, again, it’s something of a good thing, connotations aside. I’m just a little freaked whenever I’m accused of being professional. But I’ll get over it: I’m gonna take the rest of the day off to skateboard through the snow now….

A Few New BSRs

This is quick and simple: I was looking at Black Shirt Required over a couple minutes of downtime [we've been working on a few things here, not immediately involving shirts], and I realised that I was missing a few obvious things. So I got them crammed in there.

I’m sure I’m still missing a few obvious things. But I can probably figure out what they are while I’m sitting here staring at whatever I’m not doing instead….

New Site

Reworked the site. Like I mentioned I was gonna do, a few months ago. So that’s done now.

In other news, I got a couple new things up at zazzle.com. Like this:

There’s other new stuff there too. Go look around for it. I’m kinda in the middle of bugtesting the new site you’re looking at right now….
