What’s in ze Bag #6

April 8th, 2008

So, I’ve been holding off on this b/c I’ve been waiting for some content that still hasn’t arrived. It’s going to be worth it. In the meantime, we’re shipping later this week. Starting this month there’s a little more cowbell.

    Unfortunately I just *can’t* bring myself to wear this one:

    on yellow? Ew.

    ahhhh… now it makes sense. :)

    You know what, I didn’t think I could wear a bright yellow tshirt – the rest of my wardrobe is excusively black or dark blue, but I gave it a go and to be honest, it didn’t really look that bad to be honest (that’s me all over the sidebar and with a dalek if you hadn’t guessed!)

    Go on – put it on, you might like it :D

    I claim full responsibility for Ustream’s yellow shirt. I’ve had a bit of a fetish with yellow clothes ever since a wardrobe failure last year while I was visiting San Francisco for WordCamp (long story). Even though Roddy made the exact same “I have a stream=eww” comment, I promised him it would work. =]

    I don’t know if the Ustream crew and I were thinking along the same lines or if they really liked what they saw on the shirt, but the same color scheme appeared in the backdrop to their booth at SXSW.
