This was supposed to be mainly news about our novelty/oddity websites, and the novelty industry in general,
but then I got way into novelty music and set up Restless Mouse Radio, so now there's links for that, plus I post the ocassional joke, and, well,
it winds up like most blogs... a hodgepodge of nonsense.
Fortunately there are topic tags so you can find relevant posts easily.
The Moleskine method
Some can only shake their heads at the fact that I cary a Palm organizer around but only use it for an MP3 player and once in awhile to play a squinty game of Freecell. There's no way I am going to poke away at it with the stylus thing (which I lost several of) just to add my notes or dentist appt., whatever.
No, I carry a Moleskine lined pocket journal. I like to make lists, draw arrows, big dollar signs, if I have an idea I like to make a little light bulb next to it. If I have a note about my night-job I might draw an ogre instead of someone's name. These notebooks open flat, hold up for ages, they have acid-free pages so you don't go on any bad trips. I buy them in case lots but only need a new one about every 4-6 months; hence they are available at some of our websites at a reduced price. In fact, if you go to The Moleskine page at 1RestlessMouse.com and pick up 2 or more, they are only $9.58 each. Most items at 1restlessmouse.com have those hidden 2-or-more specials. Try it! Go retro, ditch the Blackberry, do you really need to be in touch 24/7?
We have added another webstore to our lineup, this one via Presto Stores. They have a wonderful system for quickly adding items, the stock designs are good 'nuff right out of the box, and low service charges (If I save money, you save money, right?).
Only thing I don't care for, and they tell me it will be fixed in August, is that they make Paypal and Google Checkout customers type in their data BEFORE going off to pay- Isn't the point to avoid all that? But it's great for regular Visa/MC/Discover orders, and mail order print-offs.
We made a really low $30 free shipping threshold, plus 2-or-more discounts on most items, to get this one off the ground. We are trying to add more product to that one every day. Let us know how you like it, preferably by voting with your do-re-mi.

Stumble It!
