			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Via Understanding Google Maps &#038; Yahoo Local, the <a href="http://blumenthals.com/blog/2009/02/21/my-deep-throat-gets-banned-goes-public/">words of a Locksmith recently banned from Google Maps</a>:</p>

<blockquote> After that many of my claimed listings got hijacked by my competitors, I knew I’ll crack the method to do it myself &#038; that I’ll send you my revelations in order to shut down this option. </blockquote>

<p>So we have a locksmith who considers it acceptable to test and defeat a company's security. Does he also walk up and down the streets in his home town trying to break into buildings?</p>

<p>Is there no Locksmith Oath?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.43folders.com/2008/09/08/four-years">Merlin</a> continues to <a href="http://www.dianakimball.com/2008/09/trying.html">inspire</a>.</p>

<p>Diana mentions Randy Pausch's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo">Last Lecture</a> which is getting a lot of attention with his recent passing. Many people are probably already in a mood to seriously consider their life's course.</p>

<p>While these two posts have great value to me, I fear the next few weeks. The influx of attention, conversation and links that these genuine heartfelt posts generate will be <em>irresistible</em> for imitators.</p>

<p>Perhaps though, this global blogger introspection will lead to some greater universal truth?</p>

<p>What I know for sure is it will difficult to ignore.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who reads this blog (hi mom!) has noticed a particular lack of, well, blog entries. This is in part to a massive project I've been working on at work. Because of that project, I intentionally blocked my attention from wandering to some of the time sinks I had previously found so worthwhile (hi <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/">google reader</a>! where ya been <a href="http://www.iconbuffet.com/blogs">iconbuffet</a>?).</p>

<p>Thankfully though, I have some good news. With the aid of that massive project, I can even tell you in a t-shirt:</p>

<p><a href="http://t-shirts.dyetub.com/designs/29 "style="border:none;"><img src="http://t-shirts.dyetub.com/images/29.300.shirt.jpg" alt="Custom T-shirt Design #29" style="border:none;" /></a></p>

<p>If you click that t-shirt, you'll be taken to the first site that is using the technology I've been putting together between the rest of my responsibilities at work. To put it in a nutshell, <a href="http://t-shirts.dyetub.com/">T-shirts.Dyetub.com lets people make and share custom t-shirt designs</a>.</p>

<p>T-shirts are pretty freakin' cool, so a website where you can design your own should be pretty freakin' cool, too. Of course, there are other sites out there where you can design a t-shirt but they want you to actually <strong>buy</strong> the shirt, not just show off your neat idea to your friends. So things like hotlinking are actively discouraged instead of embraced.</p>

<p>If you've ever had an idea for a t-shirt, <a href="http://t-shirts.dyetub.com/designs/new">go make it</a>. Not sure how? <a href="http://t-shirts.dyetub.com/">Watch a quick movie to learn how.</a> And be sure to let me know how it goes for you. :)</p>

<p><strong>Updated</strong> I ran across this old post and wanted to update this to reflect my current knowledge of BSA regulations. :) Adults don't wear patrol emblems except during Wood Badge training. Kind of reduces how popular this item could be, but I can think of a few Scouts I know who might still pick the rocking chair as their symbol. :)</p>
