Scott McLeod issued a call for button designs mid-April, for use at NECC, working with the slogan, “I’m Here For The Learning Revolution.”
My submissions wandered a mile or two from his chosen theme (distractable, can’t help it) so I won’t hold my breath for the win. I will, however, take this moment to announce the grand opening of the dy/dan mercantile.

Do you accept PayPal?

April 30, 2008 - 5:31 pm -Dan, these are awesome. I’d wear some of these (at NECC and elsewhere). Please, please set up a CafePress shop?

Oh. Um. Thanks, guys.

April 30, 2008 - 7:16 pm -I love button #1…. I feel that way often :)
However, the price is a bit out of my league as Sarah said heheh

April 30, 2008 - 9:10 pm -2 for $180?
There’s no other place you can find a better deal.

April 30, 2008 - 9:32 pm -Is it $75 for one button or all? Doesn’t matter, send me all of them. And 3 shirts for $270. I did that right, didn’t I?
I don’t have a credit card handy but have several Arby’s coupons I’m hoping you’ll accept.
(Fingers tightly crossed)

Will Richardson
May 1, 2008 - 3:44 am -The question is, will Jakes eat that button if we get him one?
Graham Wegner
May 1, 2008 - 4:38 am -How about one that says “All My Edublogger Friends Went To NECC And All I Got Was This Stupid Button/T-Shirt” ?
Chris Lehmann
May 1, 2008 - 5:04 am -T3 describes SLA faculty meetings. *sigh* ;)
And yes, Will, Jakes would definitely wear one.

May 1, 2008 - 5:06 am -I like B8 and T3.
Brought a smile to my face today. Thank you!

May 1, 2008 - 5:26 am -I agree with tappet and McLeod — put ’em on Cafe Press. I would totally pimp an “I’m my entire PLC” button around campus.

May 1, 2008 - 6:26 am -Way too funny!!
Q
May 1, 2008 - 6:56 am -PLC = Programmable Logic Controller? I feel stupid for not getting the joke. Someone let me in on it!
Sarah
May 1, 2008 - 10:59 am -PLC = Professional Learning Community
Ah, ed-lingo.
Q
May 1, 2008 - 12:56 pm -Thanks. Somehow I missed the memo on that one. I have so much to learn! Someone’s gotta make a newbie cheatsheet…
Rich
May 1, 2008 - 2:26 pm -Dang, pot roast nachos sound mighty good right about now…. How about I skip the button and just pay you to make/send some of those nachos to me?
Seriously though (relatively speaking), I do like the “I’m My Entire PLC” button too.

May 1, 2008 - 6:23 pm -I’m still waiting for the Cafe Press link. One more button suggestion? “@ddmeyer doesn’t follow me” Think of all of the sales you’d have. :)
David Jakes
May 1, 2008 - 7:21 pm -Send me a gross of the Pot Roast Nacho buttons. Giddy up.
Jen
May 1, 2008 - 8:01 pm -What does it say about me that I’m really taken by how glisten-y the light spot on those buttons is. They look like supernatural M&Ms. I only want a button if it really looks like that. If it does, then I want them all.
Jen
May 1, 2008 - 8:02 pm -P.S. Thanks for the link to that post — it was exactly the one I was looking for and it worked its way right into a paper. Then my thank you email kicked back at me and uh, I forgot to try again!

May 1, 2008 - 9:19 pm -Lot of comments. A lot. If you make one rhyming “Six foot seven” and “minutes in heaven,” I’ll buy.
dan
May 2, 2008 - 8:20 pm -What is this “cafe press?”
JackieB
May 3, 2008 - 5:01 am -Create your own custom products. Although I think you might need to reexamine your pricing.

May 3, 2008 - 2:20 pm -the designs are cool. the prices are nuts.
dan
May 4, 2008 - 9:13 am -I admit I’ve positioned them as kind of a luxury item. Like an iPhone or deodorant.
Gina Marie
May 4, 2008 - 7:09 pm -Don’t worry Q, I Googled PLC, and then when the results didn’t match anything to do with education, I tried: PLC and teacher.
Got it.

May 4, 2008 - 7:58 pm -And now you’re in. Also: the secret handshake is a regular handshake just really really vigorous.
