Left-Handers Day is August 13

Plus: WoS slogan contest!
Thu Jul 31, 2003 19:29 UTC

Okay, I got exactly 0 e-mails regarding the blog thing (somewhat more than I expected, actually), but I've decided I'm going to go ahead with it anyway. Soon.

Just a reminder that Left-Handers Day is August 13. Show the lefty in your life that you care! Or, if you are a lefty, like I am, show your friends and family how hard it is to be left-handed. :)

Announcing The World of Stuff Slogan Contest! My current idea for a semi-catchy slogan is "The World of Stuff: A World of Stuff to Enjoy!" If you can think of something better (and I know you can), shoot me an e-mail. My address is moc-tod-nzz-tod-liampps-ta-retsambew (turn it backwards). Please put "Slogan Contest" in the subject line, or I might delete your e-mail thinking it's a virus or spam.

To blog or not to blog?

Fri Jul 25, 2003 22:32 UTC

I considered making the WOS main page a blog of sorts, offering a window into my life. But then reality got a hold of me. I mean, come on, who's going to want to read about a 14-year-old kid? In fact, who actually visits this site at all? Nobody! You probably got here either from The Dvorak Keyboard and You or a post on the Where's George? message boards. Nothing really interesting happens to me, anyway. At least not right now, it's the summer. A little school might make things interesting. If you would like me to make this a blog, e-mail me and let me know. My addy's at the bottom of the page.

Who knows? If TWOS really makes it big, a message board may be in order. I don't think there'd be much to talk about, though, except maybe spam and pyramid schemes. Just thinking out loud, I suppose.


The World of Stuff moves to theworldofstuff.com!

It took some work, but I finally did it. The World of Stuff has moved to its own domain name, and a new server to boot! This means you won't see any ads here anymore. (I hear you giving a sigh of relief. I feel the same way!) Though just about all the pages have been updated to acommodate the move, the only page that really got some other significant updating was The Dvorak Keyboard and You.

I'd really like to thank NearlyFreeSpeech.NET for hosting The World of Stuff - and at a great price, too! Check out their rock-bottom web hosting rates: $1 (US) per gigabyte of bandwidth, and 1¢ (also US) per megabyte per month for disk space.

By the way, do you like what I've done with these link colors and styles?
