New bizcard mockup
Leaving aside the inexact layout and "Hey, you haven't paid for this yet" garbage on the graphics (they're from istockphoto.com and I do intend to drop a little dough on them), this is my current in-mind design for a personal business card. I plan on finalizing it and then getting a pile printed before PAX.
It's the spiritual successor to my card design from 2000. That was perfect for me then, and for several years thereafter: having a bit of fun with the fact that I had no idea I wanted to do with my life. It's not like I now know precisely what I want to do, and it's not like the thing that I do find myself doing doesn't change from year to year anyway. But things have gelled a bit over the last decade, regardless.
For what it's worth, note also that this marks a change of my Twitter ID. As of today, I am now JmacDotOrg over yonder. I chose my last username, "jasonmcintosh", in early 2008, the start of a phase when I figured I'd straighten my tie and show a more professional face to the world; this was just before I incorporated Appleseed.
And here I am today, just two years later, flinging that tie back off, at least for a time. I also just now edited my default GMail signature to remove all mention of Appleseed. (In fact it now contains only the same text as this new card, minus the slogan.)
