blue balls

I got a lot done yesterday and the kids had a great day to with a little help from some friends. I made an RSS icon and installed the AddThis plug-in for Claudia, took the kids on a bike ride, got all the leaves out of the backyard (while Van and Viv went to Hopkins Field with our neighbor and her kiddos), watched the Flyers end their season, and then went over to Mom’s for a cookout.

Pictures from Mom’s…

Now I have a bone to pick… I have been using my angry blue ball furiousBall logo and icon since around 2001. It was originally done for me by a former co-worker and all-around good guy named Eric Willin. This was my first CD I had finished and Eric did the album cover for me. This was the result…

Later another musician, Nick (Psipher)  was nice enough to make the animated icon that many of you have seen around the web when I comment.

Now the bone to pick… does this look vaguely familiar? Thanks Cure Auto Insurance… you unimaginative douchebags. And look at their blue ball guy… he looks like crap. Eric busted that out in literally an hour, yet still beats the crap out of this …

    I’ve always loved your little giff of the rotated blue ball. I’d just ignore them. Think of it as branding for you….

    Sue them, get a huge settlement and you’ll never have to work again. Are blue balls a proprietary item?

    You should make an animated clip of your angry blue ball beating up Cure Auto Insurance’s stupid blue ball and then send it to them as a warning.
