Web414 - Milwaukee's Web Community

Recently, I was invited to try PSPrint printing, by marketing manager Trisha.

For a while I've wanted to create stickers for Web414, the local Milwaukee web design and development group I'm part of, so I sent some EPS art to PSPrint.

A week later, I received a package of 50 white stickers with a 2 color Web414 logo on them, and they look great!

The stickers were designed at business card size: 3.5" x 2" then trimmed above and below the logo. Using my wife's corner rounder from her scrap-booking toolkit, I rounded the corners to complete the look I was aiming for.

I could have gone with a custom die, but since this was a free test run, it wasn't in the budget. If I were running a large quantity, I'd most definitely order a die.

Sticker Quality
PSPrint uses a medium weight vinyl for their stickers, printing the logo in 4/color fade-resistant inks with a 6 months fade-free guarantee, under normal use.

The substrate is tough and resilient, though these are not intended for extreme situations. For heavy duty stickers, check out StickerRobot.com.

Still, for placement on a laptop, notebook or other medium duty applications, I'm very pleased with the results of the PSPrint stickers created for Web414.

Come to the Web414 May meeting and get one free 'til they're gone!

Just an FYI that Ashe Dryden, David Overbeck and I are confirmed to attend the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive in Austin together, just a little over a month from now — March 7th through the 11th.

SXSW Interactive

Somehow we organized ourselves and managed to book the same flight on Midwest (though thanks be to Ashe, we'll be waking up at 3am to make the 6:25 flight) and are also staying at the same hotel in Austin, TX.

We are all very excited to be at this happenin' event in Austin. Based only on what I have read and the podcasts I've heard, this should be a spectacular opportunity for Web414 members to have a positive impact on the greater web community, and get to know some people from around the country and the world.

If other Web414 members or readers of the site are attending SXSW Interactive this March, please contact Ashe, David or myself so we can absorb you into our Borg-like collective. :-)

We will also be reporting back on Twitter and on our blogs (including this one) as we experience SXSW for the first time.

Decided to try out a Tumblr account, feeding in some RSS feeds from various sources I generate:

Looks like an interesting place to capture various stuff.
