Ok, y'all. I've really appreciated all the early feedback on this, and it's gotten me inspired to keep the momentum going on this thing by getting just a few (30 total) stickers printed up for our gopher community to try this out. As part of a bigger thing I'm doing, (phlog post explaining the whole thing a little better forthcoming...) I've posted a page for checking out these stickers and providing a means to move forward testing some of what's been discussed here -- send me an email w/ PayPal, or send me a SASE w/ $2, etc... Given the small number, (a test batch I hope will sell right out. ;)) go ahead and send an to [email protected] to reserve a spot -- first come, first...

Also thinking about this for slightly larger-ticket items... not unlike that sweet 1802 kit of yours, actually. :)
This is really encouraging, thanks! Yeah, this is really what I've been thinking, too. Was thinking about stickers and even T-shirts... Wanted to get them printed at a local shop, too -- seemed especially appropriate.
(btw, @wgs, I hope you don't mind my using your proxy.... I couldn't figure out the best way to share the plain gopher:// link. Lemmy seemed to be struggling with it...)
Gopher-commerce: a proposal?
My recent musings on Gopher-commerce. Humbly submitted to the community for discussion...
