Because I don’t know what else to do with my money I’m thinking about getting some more promotional items made up with my web site address on them. If you recall, I made up a batch of t-shirts with my domain on it. Over the years, I’ve flirted with the idea of getting some women’s panties with my web site address silk-screened on them. As exciting as that might be, I don’t think it would be very practical. At least half of my readers are dudes. What would they do with a pair of women’s panties? Do I want to know? Maybe. Anyways…
A more practical item would probably be more appreciated by all my readers, male or female. In light of that, please take a look at this page here. Tell me which items you think would go over well with my readers. Keep in mind, I don’t want to spend more than $5 per item. Also, don’t choose anything that requires some crazy minimum order count of like 250.
So what’s your pleasure? Stress ball? Key chain? LED flashlight? Stainless steel water bottle? Summit clock radio?

Personally, I need a new candy thermometer. HOWEVER, I would like to speak up about promotional material in general. Nobody needs it, nobody wants it, it invariably ends up in the garbage, and it’s bad for the environment.
I’d like to suggest an alternative… Why not pick 3 charities or something, have the readers vote, and then donate the money to that on behalf of “Erwin’s fans”?
