You’ve heard of “Kill Bill?”
Well, I “Robbed Bob.”

I’ve gotten some great feedback about the new site and blog design. Most of the comments are about my new header graphic sporting the ‘thought balloon’ and creative placement of important reference links.

While I am the first to take credit for my own ideas, I am also the first to admit a blantant rip-off…er… I mean “ADAPTION” of someone else’s concept. Such is the case with this new masthead design.

Bob McDeavitt is writer (and collaborator with my buddy Drew Coffman) of the comic site Yirmumah.net Recently Bob has begun his own blog project (Boblog!), and his Coffman-designed masthead sports a lid-flipped caricature of Bob with a thought balloon containing Google ads.

Not to pass up an idea that I think has major potential, I absconded with the Boblog Thought Balloons and gave it my own DTIG twist, adding a pithy internetbumpersticker banner, recommended Amazon.com links, and a smaller (but equally commercial!) set of Google ads.

The penance for my sin of stealing?
I had to admit my theft in public, linking to those two obnoxious guy’s websites.

There, are you happy now Bob and DJ? Will you please tell your mothers to stop calling and telling me to be ashamed of myself from stealing the ideas of her poor, poor, innocent offspring? I mean, has she even LOOKED at the obnoxious material on your sites lately?? SHEESH!

Thanks for the idea boys! I’ll be laughing all the way to the bank after I make millions from this revolutionary linking technique — MUWHAHAHAHA!!!
