I while back, I received some swag in the mail from SEO Shirts. However, being the extremely lazy blogger that I am, I never got a round to giving them the link they wanted for the free shirt. So now I’m playing catch up.

Just for the record, I’m a big fan of “links for swag.” (Our mailing address is 23822 Valencia Blvd. Suite 310 Valencia, CA 91355) But I do think that if you are going to do it, you should take the time to make sure your swag generates maximum impact.

I think a T-Shirt announcing to the world that I’m a link whore is awesome. But this particular shirt falls a little short because of the size, typeface and colors used. It’s very difficult to read. A better approach might be a BOTW style white on black. That way, people could see that I was link whore from a good 100 ft. away.

Moving on…. I figured since it’s Beer Friday and I’m already pulling pictures out of the Blackberry, I’d go ahead and post a few more.

Last week, my good buddy Todd, accused me of swiping a cute little anti-spam flyer during a recent visit to the Plex. Now I can assure you that’s not the case. If I was going to take something off of a Google bulleting board, I would have took the picture of the weird guy with lines all over his face. (Which coincidentally, was posted in close proximity to the spam flyer….)

Most people think that Google is all about kitty cats and lime flavored soda.  But the truth is, that’s not the case. As you can see by this picture, there are some Googlers who really understand the concept of “work hard, play hard.”

And finally, here’s a photo from the end of the evening. It’s important to remember that if you leave your clothes hanging in the hotel bathroom with the shower turned on (anything to not have to iron) for too long, you will set the fire alarm off when you open the door. When that happens (at 2:00 am), the only way to get it to stop is to rip it off the ceiling and pull that battery out.
