It all started in a garage, over 30 years ago with a man & a vision. Gil Blais, President and Founder of La Boit Inc. Specialty Vehicles, worked for a pharmaceutical company for many years and was continuously approached by veterinarians to create a product they desperately needed… storage for...

Michael Lalonde is the creator of Mr. Big’s favorite online comic — Ornery Boy. Since the guy possess too much creativity for just one website, he started an apparel and novelty site with his girlfriend Jennifer. The site is called Sick On Sin, and features lots of items with artwork from Michael, but my favorite has got to be creepy crawly stuff — like his zombies and the new Series B Halloween art.
Series A featured all the standard Halloween fare (bats and skulls and black cats and gargoyles, oh my!) but the Series B art is…well… more “Halloweeny” now that they’ve been printed in all-spooky colors of Black, White, and Red.
The Bat, Cat, and Skull are still there — but with a creepier twist. New additions include a Raven right out of Poe and a cute li’l Reaper character.
Looking for a great gift for that one (or in my case, more) morbid friends on your shopping list? Then drop by SickOnSin.com and use the discount code 4NSBOO to save 10% on any order through Nov 1.

Only a certain kind of person can pick up a book titled “The Power of Nice” and keep a straight face.
Mr. Big tends to lean toward the sarcastic side of life, so when the BzzAgent.com promotional campaign for this book came along, it was tough to maintain a non-mocking attitute — but the snarkiness evaporated once I familiarized myself with the core principles of being “Nice.”

In a brilliant act of confronting Apple with its own words (and then making them eat those words) a YouTube user with the screen name “KeeptheiPhoneFree” created a video mashup of all the third-party iPhone software that was effectively rendered useless when Apple released the firmware update 1.1.1.
The real act of brilliance was in using the audio from Apple’s groundbreaking “Think Different” campaign. Listen to the narrator (who I think is Richard Dreyfuss) call out Apple’s salute to “the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.” According to Apple’s script they have no respect for the status quo — yet that’s just what Apple is trying to maintain by fighting the iPhone hack that allows for greater user ability by these self same “Crazy Ones.”
So, according to Apple it is okay to Think Different — just don’t think TOO different from them.
