Presents and Pixels

Josh Rubin launched his 2004 Gift Guide today where you can find the Connective Issue caps alongside other killer holiday gifts. Danielle also connected to Mister Shape over at Pixelyn.net - she has some beautiful illustrations, nice pixel fonts and a killer collection of first issues - nice work!

The Connective Issue

Introducing the Connective Issue - 3 caps that keep you connected. Choose your flavor: The Producer (aka MIDI), The Administrator (aka Ethernet) and The Director (aka Firewire). The new site launches now with caps and updated pricing.

Special thanks to Kevin for the flawless embroidery and Michael, Akbar and TC for the special ops web support!

Nintendo DS

Shape of the Week honors go to the slim silver rectangle known as the new Nintendo DS. Despite having the worst tagline ever, being able to blast aliens by touching your screen is actually very satisfying. The touch screen really is cool, beyond the hype. It comes with a Metroid First-Person Shooter demo pre-installed and even has wireless connectivity. Awesome.

Tis the Season

Thanks to our new friends in Santa Monica and Tucson for the recent orders. The new site and shop should be up this week, just in time for the holidays. Spread some love this season, get your friends in Shape!

Hoppin'

Speaking of our fans in Tempe, thanks for the recent Pool Hopper order! Also, thanks to Georgia for hopping in the pool as well. Sales are picking up and we expect to roll out the new store and the Connective Issue cap line next week. Thanks to everyone for your support and fun emails.

IKEA

What's that large blue rectangle on the horizon? Our shape of the week. IKEA moved in down the street yesterday, with it's grand opening in Tempe, Arizona. The opening was a circus with security guards surrounding the building, newschoppers overhead, parking lots and surrounding vacant lots packed with cars, temporary lights and baricades all over the place, "special event" exit signs on I-10...who says design and quality can't thrive in the desert?

Cool Hunting

Josh Rubin's site keeps everyone up-to-date on the latest trends, especially in technology and fashion. We keep this one on a daily refresh. Thanks goes to Josh for his nice post about Mister Shape!

Oh Canada!

While some of our friends are interested in moving to Canada based on recent events, we're excited about the buzz out of Vancouver, British Columbia. We'll stay here in the desert and keep shipping shirts and caps to you. Thanks for the recent orders and your support!

Why do we like shapes so much?

I guess you could say shapes have always been with us. Moby sings "we are all made of stars" which just happen to be really big circles. And if you have a really nice microscope you see lots of cirlces...cells, atoms..well you get the idea.
