Zazzle is a site where, like Cafepress, you can upload images and make stuff. They have several things Cafepress doesn't have, like skateboards and ties.

I've just been made aware that they also have shoes. SHOES.

I so want some custom shoes now.

Work pretty much sucked for the most part this week, except for this.

This month, I am featured in my employer's newsletter for the local call center under the section "Employee Spotlight". I was asked by one of the people at work if I would be willing to share a bit of what I experienced at Comic-Con throughout the years. I told him that I would definitely do just that. Some of the photos posted in the article were from this year, some in the past, and a few simply not mine at all. On Thursday, the latest month of my call center's newsletter was release, and now, I get to post it.

Right as I was about to finish my last break on Thursday, as you may have seen on this article, I did mention a certain moment or two that came from Comic-Con in previous years, and it was posted on YouTube. Well, it turned out that a small group of fellow employees were watching it! lol You know, if this happened 10 or more years ago and people saw it, I probably would not like people seeing this sort of thing. Now, I simply don't care. People enjoyed the video!

Also, I discovered the first photo of me in the Bloo costume taken from someone outside of NF and from Facebook. You can see it here. The person next to me in that photo is none other than Kelsey Mann, a storyboard artist currently working for Pixar (formerly with CN).

That is totally awesome. Congratulations on the article, dude!

I've said it before but I'll say it again. That's just terrific Ord! I'm very happy for you! It's exciting getting your pic in a newsletter, forget about a whole article.

And by first photo I assume you're meaning the first photo taken this year at the Con of you in the costume. Because the very first photo I've seen is this from the Anime Expo of '06.

Yes, that is correct. I was referring to 2009.

Lynnie · 08-23-2009, 01:25 AM

That's what I thought.

I just didn't want anyone else to get confused in thinking that was the very first picture of your Bloo costume. Because it's definitely not.

I originally wondered if I was just off camera in that shot, but it was probably taken a few minutes before I escaped the mob that was the exhibit hall and found you guys. Man, I was so out of it that day!

Exhausted, dehydrated, confused, lost. It was great though. And after a good night's sleep, I felt soooo much better the next day. Certainly a memory that will last a lifetime.

That's totally awesome, employee newsletter this year, Cartoon Network short news type piece appearance last year...

What's next for 2010? G-4TV appearance perhaps?

BluebottleFlyer · 08-23-2009, 02:42 PM

You and your Bloo costume sure get around, ORD! As I already said on FB, many congrats on that article, it goes without saying that you wholly deserve to be recognised, not just for being a great worker, but for your interests outside of work too.

I got the Cats Don't Dance soundtrack for my birthday. That definitely made my day...

This month's issue of Scientific American arrived today. I love this magazine and look forward to every issue. This month is their annual single-topic issue; the subject this time around is "Origins", and inside are articles on the origins of life, intelligence, the universe, etc. This promises to make for some truly fascinating reading.
