The @Arrington T-Shirt

1 Comment

My old friend (and one of my favo­rite wri­ters, btw) Mike Arring­ton aka @arrington is in the news again. This time, he’s back wri­ting at Techc­runch, the tech blog he foun­ded back in 2005, sold it for a bunch of money to AOL, then left under a bit of a cloud a year ago, then slowly but surely came back into the Techc­runch fold again.

A cou­ple of months ago, Arring­ton twee­ted something which I thought was hila­rious. I liked it so much, I thought it would make a great t-shirt; espe­cially one for wea­ring at geek fests like SXSW or TCdis­rupt. Voila.

Mike is known for being quite con­tro­ver­sial in public. In pri­vate, though, he can be a real sweetheart. Wha­te­ver. He’s a com­plex guy. It’s hard not to be when you’ve got THAT much going on, I suppose.

Con­grats on everything, Mike, I’m very proud of you. Besi­des that, I’ve lear­ned A TON from you, so have coun­telss others. Rock on.

   Hugh,

   Thanks for making the hips­ter novel for the daily car­toon. That made me laugh because on a ski trip last year we star­ted hips­ter hun­ting. Also, just wan­ted to post to thank your enga­ged fans for drop­ping by my site. Very appre­cia­tive. I invite you, Hugh, staff, and fans to join If I Knew Now for Hallo­ween today and Wed­nes­day if you have time.
   I pas­sed the hips­ter car­toon on…wow that was great!

   Have a won­der­ful week and stay safe on the coast.

   Reid
