It’s Business time. Yes that’s right, we’re getting serious. I mean T-Shirts can’t be fun all the time. Sike! That’s right, bringin’ it back to 1988.

Ever get an oddly-colored, super-snazzy (ahem, ugly) sweater as a gift from a distant relative? Perhaps something that puts the “err” in “merry”?

Interacting with customers on our website is a little like online dating. We want to make a good first impression but there’s just not enough space on our profile, er, homepage, to list all of the things we do well. I guess we could…but that’s no way to get a second date.
