My team at work was called back in this morning. This was the first time I’d seen them since before the holidays. One person in my team told me something that made my day.<\/p>\n
Before the break, I gave all the people in my team an Age of Animus magnet featuring some of my mash-up designs. I had extras left over which I then sold to anybody who was interested. This one woman bought three, one for her and two for her grandkids. She picked Cyran for one and Barnaby for the other. I can’t remember what the third one was (she picked them while I was away from my desk). She let the kids choose and sure enough, they picked the ones she’d picked for them (she knows them well).<\/p>\n
She said they really liked them and played with them all day, carrying them around and then running\u00a0 back to stick them on the fridge for a bit then going back to them later. I’m guessing they’re pretty young…although to be fair, who can resist a good magnet? Well, maybe if you were wearing the opposite polarity…am I showcasing my lack of understanding of the basic principle behind magnets? Perhaps.<\/p>\n
ANYway, my coworker also visited the site and had complimentary things to say, and she remembered Cyran’s and Barnaby’s names (not a given).That made me happy.<\/p>\n
Of the fifty magnets I had made up, I have two left: Space Age Cyran and Tripwire Cyran. Most of them were given away, but I sold at least 10 of them. People liked them and it generated traffic for the site, so all’s good.<\/p>\n
There’s nothing I could talk about that’s cooler (to me) than that, so that’s all for this week! Have a great week folks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
