What are Pixel Pals? We’re glad you asked…

Pixel Pals are those bold, brave and beautiful individuals that have joined the ever coveted ranks of the iBAM support staff. Through their simple donation they have earned a spot in the Pixel Pal Hall of Fame conveniently located to the left in the sidebar of iboughtamac.com. This prestigious placement has given them a right to hold their chin high, shout aloud to the world “I Bought a Mac!” and have a deeper sense of self worth and personal satisfaction.

Are you one of the elite few that dare to grace the depths of the sacred sidebar? If you dare to dream the extreme, then all you need to do to be a part, is pop on over to PayPal and add your name to the list (with your $15/month donation – It’s how we pay for hosting of this colossal beast we call iBAM). All that’s left at that point is to send us your 16×16 favicon image (PNG, JPG & GIF only please) and we’ll put you in the ranks to the left. Just remember, we reserve the right to accept or deny who we choose as well as limit the ranks to as many as we see fit.

Still have the courage? Then you may proceed and our sincere thanks will be eternally yours!

I never thought my last name would be used for anything more than a crappy joke. (i.e. “Everyone likes Brent cuz he’s a real … fungi”) But apparently, Mr. Colbert just can’t get enough of me. Do you blame him? I guess I was wrong. Now Stephen, I have been wrong before, but only once, my friend, and I was sleeping at the time so it doesn’t even really count.

Thank you sir for the kind words, I’m a HUGE fan of your “little show” as well.

Oh! While I’m on the subject, PodCamp AZ is this Saturday so if you are anywhere near us, sign up and come on by, there’s going to be a ton of fun stuff going on all day. If you aren’t nearby, you can tune in to the PodCamp AZ Live! stream via Ustream.tv on the day of or track the tweets by following PodCampAZ on Twitter or doing the “track podcampaz” thing. It’s gonna be a blast, I can’t wait (till it’s over… did I type that outloud? haha, I am really stoked, just really tired too).

Rock on!

I have been challenged to the first in a series of “Designer Duels” by Matt McInerney over @ pixelspread.com. I’m not too sure how it got the name since it’s more of a collaboration than a duel, but it does roll off the tongue pretty easy. Anyway, how it works is Matt will kick it off next week by sending me a PSD and I will make my additions/edits to it and send it back. We will do this every day for a week and see what comes out by the end of the week. hopefully it will be a nice piece of art. I’m pretty excited about the duel and I think it will be a lot of fun. We will both be posting our updates back and forth via our blogs so be sure to subscribe to the feed to be sure you are getting the latest updates.

I have been facelifting websites all this week. I mentioned PodCamp AZ in an earlier post and I just finished my wife’s birthday page the other day. I’m kinda proud of it, so I thought I’d link to it here. Swing by, take a look and come back to let me know what you think.
