Pink for October

I’m finally going Pink for October. I’ve been meaning to for a while now, but I finally got the nerve to change what I needed.

I’m supporting a good cause, wether it looks “fruity” or not.

Random Shapes

If you couldn’t tell by the badge down in the 2nd sidebar column before the TLA ad, I’m a proud member of Random Shapes. A teen blog network much like 9rules, but full of teenagers age 13-19. The first podcast episode of the Random Shapes podcast with Bekka and Chasen describes Random Shapes better than I can.

A family. Eventhough we all may not be in contact all the time, we’re a closeknit group of teens from all over, and we’re a family, nothing short of it either.

How do you join Random Shapes, go to randomshapes.com and click contact and tell us (well Mattbob Jones) why you belong here. Unlike most applicants I was approached via email by Matt, back in March of this year:

Hey Larry,

I’ve been reading your blog for a few weeks now and I’m wondering if you would be interested in joining the Random Shapes Blog Network. The network is a group of teen written blogs and I think you’d make a great addition to the network. You can read more about Random Shapes on the network site at www.randomshapes.com.

Let me know if you’re interested in joining!

Thanks,
Matt Jones

Random Shapes is a great network to belong to with a bunch of great teens and great blogs, go check it out!

Win an iTMS Gift Certificate!

iTunes Music Store

This is me being in a giving mood, so take advantage of it.

I’ve decided why not give away $20 worth of music to Apple’s iTunes Music Store, so you can buy some music/videos (not sure if it works on videos) on me!

What do you have to do to get the gift certificate, well you have to do something for me. What exactly? Be creative, and the most creative thing I see from somebody will have the redeem link emailed to them by me. Redeem Now! You can make me something, make a photoshop image, cartoonize me, make me a video - bake me a cake (I’ll give you my address), anything you may think I’ll think is really creative and worth sending you the $20 iTMS Gift Certificate.

So get creating/making/baking/doing and there’s no real deadline for this, but the sooner you get creative the sooner you have the chance to beat out somebody else!

How To Enter:
Do what you’re going to do, then either post a link/picture/etc in the comments of this entry or send me an email (larry@amacgenius.com) with details, photos, and whatever else. It’s that simple!

Downtime

I’ll no longer update amacgenius.com until after I recoop from my gallbladder surgery, so I’d suggest some alternate reading assignments while I’m “down”.

Enjoy your 4th and your fireworks displays, etc.

Rounded Release 0.1

Rounded Theme

Well, I finally caved. I’m releasing one of my themes/mods. I called this one “Rounded” - probably because of the slightly rounded header which isn’t present in this download for who knows what reason.

If you plan to use this theme, I ask a few things:
1. You leave the Google ads at the bottom as kind of a donation.
2. You link back to amacgenius.com somewhere.
3. If you modify it, do not redistribute it under “your work”.
4. That if something isn’t showing up right, you email me for support.
5. You enjoy the theme!

Now that that is all out of the way, let me give you the download link. You can use it at will, but it is protected under a creative commons license (CC), and I’d like it if you would just use this and not try and make a profit, although I ask you leave my Google ads.

Anyways, here’s what you really want:
