Lifehacker T-Shirt

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

As many of you may or may not know, I write for technology and productivity blog Lifehacker. Well, I was lucky enough to get one of these shirts before their store ran out of them. (There are still limited sizes left!)

Here I am:

Many thanks to Gina and Scott for the hookup. 😉

Dan Perry’s Schwag Bag

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Last month, I blogged about Dan Perry’s Google Fridge Giveaway, of which I was a judge (among other things). 😉 Well, in case you haven’t checked out the blog announcement, Dan has chosen a winner: John Honeck. The cool thing is that John now has a refrigerator, but he’s going to give it to me eventually.

In any event, since I helped organize the contest, Dan sent me some schwag which includes a ton of awesome stuff:

Didja see the impossible-to-find Ask Jeeves stuff? 🙂

Well, here’s another shirt that will never be made again:

Also, another shirt from the Google Dance in 2005 (note: my first Google Dance was 2007).

Some hats:

Finally, Dan hooked me up with a Google lava lamp! I’ve never owned one of these things but I’ve mentioned before that I love desk toys. This one is hot!

Thanks Dan Perry!

Startup Schwag Hooks You Up with Cool Swag

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

If you are a schwag addict like me, you’ll be happy to know that you’re in good company. There’s a company that gives away schwag monthly: Startup Schwag! The guys there hooked me up with their giveaway ($14.95/month) which included this cool Mashable tee and a few stickers from Web 2.0 companies.

I highly recommend Startup Schwag. The quality of the stuff they send is darn good! 🙂

Thanks to Roddy and the gang. Here’s me posing in the shirt:
