blue monster hot t-shirt action yeah baby

The Blue Mons­ter has made it on to T-shirts. Very cool. Microsoft’s James O’Neill explains:

If you look at Microsoft’s Values you find “Taking on big cha­llen­ges and seeing them through.”. The PC — the Win­dows PC — has chan­ged the world. So now what. Stop ? Or find ways to change the world again ? If we’re not pre­pa­red to do that what are we doing here ? So Change the world or go home is part mis­sion sta­te­ment, part call to arms.

I utterly con­cur. Thanks, James!
Yes. I know. By the time Upper Mana­ge­ment spots the Blue Mons­ter, it’ll be too late. Exactly.
[UPDATE:] Robert Banghart left the follo­wing in James’ com­ments:

“Change the world or go home” makes me happy to be a [Mic­ro­soft] part­ner every time I hear or see it. When I recently told it to one of my clients, he imme­di­da­tely stole it for his own motto and he ends every telephone con­ver­sa­tion we have with it.

[UPDATE:] Microsoft’s Steve Clay­ton has some Blue Mons­ter T-shirts to give to a loving home etc. Rock on.

    Perhaps we should worry about things that are more impor­tant than Microsoft.

    Maybe Roman should start his own fric­kin’ blog and write about all the impor­tant stuff he so sopho­mo­ricly allu­des to.…

    I’ve always liked the dra­wing, Hugh. And I find it inte­res­ting that Mic­ro­soft, a com­pany that has never had an ori­gi­nal idea, has adop­ted it at their grass­roots level. That’s just too perfect!

    Hey,
