Twitter Tees by Threadless

1852-tee_largeWhile I haven’t yet bought a shirt from Threadless, I might have to give in with their latest launch. Check out their custom Twitter tees based on user submitted tweets from Twitter. Users submit and vote on tweets, and each week, two tweets will become Threadless shirt creations.

If that ain’t cool enough, if your tweet is picked, you’ll receive $500 ($360 in cash and $140 in Threadless credit).

To see how this works, vote for my first submission by clicking here (so I have no shame, so what?). You can also tweet this submission or share it on Facebook and other sites.

Cool idea all around.  Nice, @threadless.

Dancing with the Stars Finals

So who do you think will win the mirror ball trophy as the Season 8 champion of Dancing with the Stars? Here’s the “group” paso doble for a side-by-side comparison of all the dancers (in HD no less!!).

My votes went to Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke. Of the DWTS finalists, the expectation and anticipation level for this couple outshines the others. Balanced choreography is the trademark of Cheryl Burke who could be the first three time DWTS champion. Need to watch tonight to find out.

Differences Between iTunes and Amazon Music Stores

, , ,

Recently, I’ve been buying a fair share of digital music from Amazon’s MP3 Music Store. Prices are good with some unbeatable, limited time deals. But besides the MP3 versus AAC formats, there are some other differences between the two music stores.

Check out this comparison of Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown.  Amazon had the digital download for $5, but it’s now $11.99 with 9 customer reviews.

green-day-on-amazoniTunes is also selling this new release for $14.99 but with 3918 customer reviews!

green-day-on-itunes

This is a change for Amazon which usually has the majority of customer reviews. In this case, it looks like the music community is more active on iTunes (but I bought the songs from Amazon). ;)  Wonder which store has a better deal on Eminem’s Relapse.

Cruising with The New Kids on the Block

Whoa, there’s a massive disturbance of female hormones in the Bahamas! But of course! The New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) cruise has set sail with 2100 women (still) swooning for Jonathan, Danny, Jordan, Donnie, and Joey.

Yes, after 20 years, women are willing to pay $1000 for a ticket on the three-day cruise to get more intimate with NKOTB. Sure, the group will perform such legendary hits as You’ve Got It (The Right Stuff) and Step by Step, and there’ll also be lots of pictures and teen fantasies fulfilled.  But a thousand bucks to see the (aged) crew performing some of their youthful hits?!?

Must be I don’t get it, but for those digging this new age of NKOTB 2.0, you can follow along via their web site and Twitter.
