The one-stop shop for all your pirating needs...

In San Fransisco, if you travel down Valencia street, you will eventually reach address 826.  This is a store named, aptly enough, 826 Valencia.  Inside, you will be transported back to a time and place where wenches are curvy and dogs are scurvy...ok, not really, but they do sell pirate-themed "equipment" and "supplies."  These are some of the products they sell, the packaging being designed by an SF design firm named Office.  I really feel these designs work because they combine the old-timey design feel with modern humor in the product descriptions on the bottle.  Almost all of the products sold by 826 Valencia have been designed by Office.

Wear-able Poe...wait, what?

I found this a long time ago, and it is still as awesome to me right now, this very minute, as it was then.  As you see, it is a silhouette of a raven, but when you look closer, it is so much cooler.  It is actually made up of Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven."  This is actually available in t-shirt format from shirt.woot.com.  I am seriously considering buying this...

FIRST POST!

Well....not much to say as of yet. This is my first blog, and I will be updating it weekly, mainly for my GDS 120 class. Hopefully, this will turn into something that I continue after this semester. So...until next time...um...I will be working on a catchphrase to end my blogs with.
