So far, there's "interest" for 402 mugs, so I'll be making 500.  This
gives a per unit price of $9 to the customers.  My Visa application
went through today, so when I receive the "Visa package" (which
explains how it all works), I'll crank up the order-taking machinery.
(I'm guessing Monday.)

We've now taken pictures of a sample mug so that y'all can see what
the general shape and color is.  <URL:http://ingebrigtsen.no/> is the
URL.

I also got temp tat samples today.  Boy, there's really been some
development in the temp tat technology dept since I was a kid.  (But
that's centuries ago, so, like.)  These aren't, like, "ink", but more
like glue/weird-stuff that kinda adhere to the skin.  When it's new,
it looks like you have something laser-printed onto the skin; it's
that clear.

It does fragment after a while, though.  I've been wearing mine for
half a day, and it's kinda falling apart.  It's not fading, mind you,
but as the skin stretches and contracts, you get lines in the tat, and
bits seem to fall off.  I seriously don't think they'll last for 14
days, like the advertisement said.

Anyway.
