Touch me. Touch me like you didn't touch me last night.

My life is so fun.

Even my stick figures are pissy today.

          Sometimes things make me so happy that I cry, since I'm a weepy tear-factory. This video always get me a bit misty.

          For some reason it feels like proof that we geeks have won, and that pleases me mightily. Not "won" as in "defeated somebody," rather more like "fuck you, this is us, and this is how we've decided to define being an adult."

          Playpen balls, right, Randall XKCD? :)

Bunny's gonna be okay.
Bunny was specially designed.

...because all of the other phones had spontaneous orgasms when he touched them.

So I was randomly poking around Flickr one day and I saw this:




And I was all "HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT IS AWESOME." Not just because I love my Droid phone and the Android system's little mascot, but also because "HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT IS AWESOME."

I dropped the fellow a line about how sweet this Android custom is, and he told me that it was his first custom ever. Look at that thing again. That was his first custom and this is what they look like au natural:



Jim and I continued to converse and then...well, he decided that he needed to send it to me. For free.

To quote The Judge, "THIS WILL NOT DO!"

A bit of cross-Atlantic talking--mostly me telling him that his stuff is too good to not be SOLD to people--and we arrived at a price that was pleasing to both of us. He then told me that he would only take out the cost of the Droid figure and donate the rest of the money to Shelter.

Yeah, you go ahead and read that last sentence again.

NOW...I don't think that sort of scenario is ever going to happen again, because now I'm here to plug his work so that he can have a bit of supplemental income for what he describes as just a hobby. And you're going to help me out, yes?

He has never done a commission before, but look at his stuff. He has some non-rust customs that will be up soon, since he's branching out from his current streak of customizing Ashley Wood designs.

I'll keep you updated, but in the mean time, tell your friends about this awesome customizer you heard about, one who is modest and generous...and who needs to start making some reasonable money off of his creations.

And now, a small story about my new Droid, which arrived yesterday. :D
