Fasten your seatbelts, movie-goers, because this is going to be one heck of a ride. The Art of FLIGHT puts the “move” in movie.

Did you know that the 119th chemical element in the periodic table is aL, Audum Live? It’s a chemical that gets released in that one part of your brain that makes you want to score a good deal on things you purchase.

Well, we’re only half kidding. If you’re in the Chicago area and are looking for “Daily Deals…with a live music twist,” then check Audum Live before you go out and spend too much money. Deals and steals, people!

Are you ready for another science lesson? Okay, maybe computer science. Stop squinting at that scattered-looking image: it’s neither an op art trick nor a sticker-printing mishap. It’s a QR code (here comes the learning part). QR codes are 2-dimensional bar codes that can be read quickly by a scanner or even an app on your smartphone. Any kind of information can be embedded in a QR code, from tracking numbers to URLs to phone numbers.

So the next time that creepy guy at the coffee shop bugs you for your number, send him a QR code. Just make it  for the time and temperature number at the bank downtown, instead. Dis! That, good people, is a 21st century Heisman.

Chain Station is a 4-piece, high-energy, get ‘em out on the dance floor stringband from Denver. Originally from the Midwest, they’ve quickly amassed a rabid fan-base in the Colorado Mountains and Front Range, hungry for the catchy and lyrically-poignant original material pouring forth from this prolific group of capable musicians. Their live shows have become that of legend, with energy and stage antics that guarantee one hell of a night out. Equally comfortable rocking a packed club, playing backyard BBQ’s, or providing tasteful mountain music for your wedding, this band does it all…with style. Please see the contact info to pack a venue in your neck of the woods.

Can’t wait til their next show! Oh, the picture? Just a little something we shot in between sticker printing and trips to the post office. Sure, dangling from a helicopter above the Rockies is risky business, but no mission is impossible for us. It’s all about our endless love for the customer, dig? BTW, StickerGiant doesn’t use a stunt double. As if! Tom Cruise isn’t the only one who does his own tricks around here.

With a host of websites at her command and a busy blog life, TrishaLyn is getting it done. We wonder, does this gal ever sleep?

Trisha Lyn Fawver, also known around the web as TrishaLyn, has been online since 1999. Trisha’s been blogging personally since 2004 on various platforms such as LiveJournal and MySpace….Trisha has also been a speaker at affiliate industry conferences such as Affiliate Summit, Affiliate Convention, and the Social Media Marketing Summit. Her articles have also appeared in FeedFront Magazine and on MarketingPilgrim.com….She blogs about her career, performance marketing, social media, and various other marketing methods. She started this blog in August 2007 to help fellow newbie marketers and bloggers through their struggles in getting started with their career and to share some tips of the trade that she’s picked up.

And we’ve teamed up with her to offer a sticker special to her readers. Why?

I loved the excellent quality laptop-friendly stickers we had made from StickerGiant for our Get Noticed Fast panel a few years ago at Affiliate Summit East 2009, which solidified my status of “big fan” of StickerGiant.com, specifically.

Aw shucks, we’re flattered! Thanks, Trisha! And thank you for choosing StickerGiant!

P.S. Wouldn’t that background image make the cutest wallpaper for a baby’s room? It could be something special for the very, very junior social media set.

Fayettechill is the “the new meaning of relax” at least in the Ozarks.

The company’s founder, Mo Elliott, created the clothing company that reflects a relaxed lifestyle that he wanted to live by, while being inspired by the Ozark Mountains “easy livin” vibe and scenic surroundings.  Fayettechill products showcase the leisurely things in life with a classic style while focusing on quality, comfort and originality. It’s about taking life slowly. Being with friends, kicking back, and popping the top off a cold one. Sitting on the porch and watching a sunset. Here at Fayettechill we like the good things in life, and we know you do, too.

For those who missed it, Fayettechill is a play on Fayetteville, home to the University of Arkansas and the state’s third-largest city.

Aaaaahhh. Just what we need during the busy holiday season: relaxation. If only we could go for a hike in the Boston Mountains. Reckon we’ll have to settle for a lap around the office for our kick-back fix. That spot over by the copier, between the filing cabinet and the empty boxes? Pure Zen!

Hey, kids, time to get your dance-y, trance-y groove on. Just in time for the big holiday sock-hop down at the rec center. Wait, do kids even wear socks anymore? Anyway, check out the cool sounds from west coast band, Rise Over Me!

Rise Over Me! is an electro pop band from San Jose, CA! Formed by Brandon Wall in late 2007 as an acoustic project, but quickly changed directions to a more electronic sound. Still a solo act, Rise Over Me! is trying to do more live shows and go on tour.

Best of luck, Brandon! We like seeing an upstanding young man doing his own thing. In this world of samey-samey—where these very Internets have narrowed the universe to a couple of viral videos about cats and people who don’t think before they speak—it’s downright refreshing. You know what we’re talking about. Reached your Honey Badger Limit yet? Of course you have! Because when everyone including Grandma is in on the flash mob thing, it’s well past time to come up with a fresh idea. Um…wow. Is this what happens when you retire early?

What do Travis Beckum and Sarah Burke have in common with your kid brother, the PeeWee hockey player? Besides sweaty gear, we mean. That’s right, it’s MoGo: The Flavored Mouthguard.

MoGo is a company founded by athletes for athletes. What do most of us do the moment the whistle blows to stop the action? We pull our mouthguard out. Then we hang it out of our mouths or we chew it. Some of us will jam it into our helmets. Others will stuff it down our gloves (yes, that is gross). And if we drop it…well hopefully there is a water bottle nearby. When the action starts again we scramble to get that mouthguard back into our mouths. Why do we do this? Wearing a mouthguard isn’t a great experience… it has no taste. Well….MoGo has the solution. Using a patent-pending, FDA-compliant methodology, MoGo is launching a range of flavored mouthguards. No more dry mouth, no more plastic taste, no more taking your mouthguard out. MoGo is the mouthguard you will want to keep in your mouth… great flavors to choose from all the while providing superior comfort, protection and performance.

Okay, we admit to being seriously grossed out by that first part. Mouthguard in your glove and then back in your mouth? Ew! But how cool that the MoGo has come up with a protective device that seems more likely to be used as directed. So you’re less likely to end up like this guy.

Now, if only they could do something that makes being a true, ahem, athletic supporter a little less, ahem, painful. For some, the price of victory is high.

Dallas based Switching Gears Cyclery is one friendly bike shop. At least, their Twitter feed says so. And their Facebook fans. Stolen bike? They’ll spread the word! Want to join a Critical Mass ride? They’re going, too! Looking for a sweet set of wheels or gear? They’ll hook you up!

Aside from loving the friendly biker vibe, we’re delighted to see “switching gears” used correctly. Because the only other time we hear this phrase is among the annoying proliferation of business-speak that’s wormed its way into the American vernacular. We’re tired of hearing words like bandwidth, opportunities, download, reach out, etc. used inappropriately. And don’t get us started on inaccurate quantities like “110 percent.” There’s no such thing! Percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. Which means you CAN’T GO HIGHER. People, please!

As for phrases like “get your ducks in a row,” we beg everyone to stop and think a minute. Have you ever seen a bunch of ducks lined up in an organized fashion? Much less tried to arrange them in a row, line, or loose grouping? Worse than herding cats, it is. Trust us.

When was the last time you met an honest-to-goodness gunsmith? Not a gunslinger, not a kid with a Daisy air-pump, not a poser thug with an over-sized weapon he doesn’t know how to use, but a real person who actually makes a real gun. From scratch. By hand. Behold, the guy behind 10-8 Performance:

Hilton Yam, owner of 10-8 Performance, is a full time law enforcement officer in Florida with extensive experience working robbery and violent fugitives. He is currently assigned to firearms training and SWAT, duties in which he oversees the expenditure of almost half a million rounds per year. He is a team leader as well as the lead instructor for his team, responsible for providing training in firearms, CQB, rappelling, defensive tactics, and team tactics. Hilton is also responsible for RDT&E of equipment. He carries a 1911 every day on duty, and has spent a great deal of time examining what makes the guns succeed and fail. 10-8 Performance is a family owned and family run small business. All 10-8 sights and components are proudly made in the USA.

Cool work! But we have to ask, what’s up with the lady on the bullet? Does she come with? And brrr!, isn’t she cold? Quick! Somebody get that gal a blanket!

Badger fans the world over are rejoicing this season. Thanks in no small part to the talents of quarterback Russell Wilson (he’s the one with the sweet #16 on his back), Wisconsin is going to the big show this year—for the seventh time in Badger history. If you didn’t score tickets to the actual Rose Bowl, you can still get your party on in MadTown. And if you act fast, BuckyFaithful.com will give you a free sticker!

BuckyFaithful is a fun and easy way to stay informed on everything happening with the Badgers. Each morning, we send you a short email with links to the latest news on Badger Football. Plus, every now and then we have a cool giveaway—like the stickers we’re giving away right now. Think of it as your free daily brief on what’s happening with the Badgers!

Good luck, Bucky Badger! Even Goldy Gopher is rooting for you—just this once—we heard. Taking a step back, now, we can’t quite explain how flat-headed weasel-rodents that live in the ground became associated with collegiate sports. Maybe due to all of that instinctive snarling and biting.

The Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association (Washington State Chapter) states as its mission:

To enhance and accredit the cohesiveness, esprit de corps, and traditions of valor of rotary wing aircrews that flew in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam Era. To seek out, using whatever means available, individuals who piloted rotary wing aircraft in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam era and inform them of the existence of the VHPA and encourage all eligible individuals to become members. Membership is open to all helicopter pilots who flew in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam era (1961-1975).

We can imagine nothing scarier than piloting a whirlybird through combat. And though we’re a month past Veterans Day, we think it’s always appropriate to recognize the service performed and sacrifices made by people in our military forces. We wouldn’t be here without you. Thank you all!

Our neighbors in Lafayette, Public Eye Skateboards know what a kid wants. Ahem, it IS almost Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Eid. Grandma and Grandpa, are you listening?

We Make Skateboard Shopping Simple for Parents & Grandparents! Skateboard shopping can be very intimidating for family members.  At Public Eye Skateboards we are in tune with the latest products as well as the needs of our skaters at the Lafayette Skatepark! We also de-mystify the longboarding phenomenon and its current popularity with teenagers everywhere.

Can’t say why, but these guys bring to mind the charmingly-cheesy documentary we caught on PBS about the colony of African penguins at Boulders Beach in South Africa. Also known as the Jackass Penguin, the antics of these determined birdies had us thinking of the dare devilry performed by the American dudes of the same classification. Which could be the tie-in with skateboards. Ah ha!

Since 1946 the Fleet Reserve Club of Annapolis, Maryland has been a haven of traditions, good times, and Naval fraternity. And in more recent times, Karaoke.

The Fleet Reserve Club of Annapolis is located in beautiful downtown Annapolis at 100 Compromise Street. From our dock and rooftop deck overlooking “Ego Alley” you can enjoy scenic views of the City Dock, the Annapolis waterfront and in the distance the historic Maryland State House and the Naval Academy chapel. Veterans of any service are eligible to join as associate members. The FRC is also home for Branch 24 of the Fleet Reserve Association (FRA).

Sounds like a fun club house, complete with bar, dock, and annual dinner dance. And who knows? Maybe Ernest Borgnine stops by every so often for a Mai Tai and a chat with the guys. He’s the only living actor to both serve in the U.S. Navy and play a naval officer on TV.* And while we loved McHale’s Navy just as much as the rest of the Hulu Nation, we do have a couple of beefs. No way would Fuji have been allowed to live on the ship, let alone hide from the captain for 4 seasons. And only on 1960′s television would a full-blooded Italian be cast as an Irishman. Great jumping Jehoshaphat!

*Note: We have no proof that this statement is in any way factual.

Sign up with Fresh Fork Market and your kitchen will be filled with fruits and veggies. Added bonus? You’ll help show the men and women who work the land some proper respect for their efforts.

Fresh Fork Market was born at the Entrepreneurship Education Consortium in August of 2007.  Four Case Western Reserve University students carried their idea forward throughout their senior year of college.  In June of 2008, Fresh Fork Market launched service in Cleveland, Ohio to deliver fresh local products directly from local farmers to local restaurants.   In its first year of operations, Fresh Fork Market delivered high quality agricultural products from thirty-six different farmers in the Cleveland area to fifty-five different restaurants, country clubs, caterers, schools, and hospitals. Starting in January 2009, Fresh Fork Market began to answer the yearn of individual consumers as well. Also in 2009 Fresh Fork started a subscription grocery program. We modeled this program after a popular trend in small farm marketing, the CSA – community supported agriculture. By fall of 2010, we had nearly 500 weekly subscribers.

And if you like your veggies with a side of bacon, they’ve got you covered.

We can’t see the word “fork” without thinking of it’s more enterprising cousin, the spork (Also known as the redonkulous-sounding “foon”). And of course a spork always makes us think of Kentucky Fried Chicken, specifically their mashed potatoes and impossibly brown gravy. Mmmm, drive-thru gravy.

Note: the spork is not to be confused with the lesser-known cutlery hybrids, the spife, knork, and splayd. Handle with care!

You’ve found your self in Texas and you’re so hungry, you’d wrestle a steer for a pizza? Quick, head to the nearest DoubleDave’s Pizzaworks!

In 1984, after years spent formulating a plan for the perfect pizza joint, David Davydd Miller started the first DoubleDave’s Pizzaworks in College Station, TX. Dave concocted a recipe for the perfect crust, then had a flour mill blend a custom formula for what would become the foundation of the DoubleDave’s Pizzaworks brand. He found a cannery to do the same for a rich, fresh tomato-based pizza sauce, and rounded up folks with good upper body strength to roll out and sling pizza dough. He served it all up in a cozy little restaurant by campus, and the rest is history.

Turns out, there really is a Dave and he’s so nice, his parents named him twice. But the good Mr. Miller is not alone with his unusual double name. Of course the Southern U.S. is home to the tradition of stacking names (right, Ricky Bobby?). But for some reason there are a host of political leaders with the double name, some more infamous than others. And only one with a sense of humor.

One of our biggest aggravations? People who talk on their phones whilst driving their cars. Even worse are the nimrods who drive and text. Really? What you have to say is so important that you’ll risk serious injury to self and others? Unless you’re dictating the cure for cancer, we firmly believe that it can wait, people!

It appears that Tampa-based Vanguard Attorneys takes a similar view, as evidenced by the “Hang Up and Drive” sticker we printed for them recently.

A serious accident or injury can leave you feeling overwhelmed and alone. Many lives have been negatively impacted due to an injury caused by someone else’s negligence. Tampa’s Vanguard Attorneys is an elite team of personal injury attorneys that can help you find justice in your time of need.

Now, we’ve all heard the lawyer jokes. But these folks truly do seem to be a different breed. How can we tell? Well, if everyone really did hang up and drive, they’d be out of work!

Wait, you don’t know any lawyer jokes? They get a bad rap. Lawyers don’t think they’re funny, and nobody else thinks they’re jokes.

“Art deeds done dirt cheap” had us laughing out loud! And we dig their retro look. Glad we could print stickers for you, guys!

It makes us think of one of our favorite artists, Geof Darrow, and not just because we have a signed, limited edition print of Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot hanging in our office. That we look at a million times a day. And dream about at night.

Chicago’s very own DJ Danny V is one hot commodity. This guy’s been everywhere, with everyone, and he’s just barely entered Erikson’s sixth stage of development. We can’t wait to see what the next decade brings for this guy!

At age 22, Chicago native and radio DJ extraordinaire Danny V has already spun alongside the most prominent acts of the 21st Century. From Usher to the Black Eyed Peas, this Miami Winter Music Conference titleholder is no stranger to the flashing lights. Hosting residencies that span from Chicago’s elite hot spots to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, Danny is on a mission to take his brand across the globe. Playing all that’s new, hip and happening–from Dance to Hip Hop–Danny breathes promise into a career destined for greatness. Intrigued by the life of luxury, Danny embodies exactly that–from every beat to every thread count his sound plays like a memorable dance party along Chicago’s Lakefront. Besides his passion for all things music and luxury, Danny is an avid sports enthusiast, who enjoys boating and traveling with an active clientele that places emphasis on table service.

We have no idea how this wünderkid can affect thread counts with his beats—but we have to give credit for showing up, digging in, and getting down. He plays a mean groove. Respect! Or, as DJ Danny V himself would say, “Stay winning!”

A project of  the Office of Naval Research, the P-3 Aircrew Tactical Team Trainer (PACT3) has one goal: “improving anti-submarine warfare skills.” That’s right: Top Gun in real life.

The Department of the Navy’s Office of Naval Research (ONR) provides the science and technology necessary to maintain the Navy and Marine Corps’ technological advantage. Through its affiliates, ONR is a leader in science and technology with engagement in 50 states, 70 countries, 1,035 institutions of higher learning and 914 industry partners. ONR employs approximately 1,400 people, comprising uniformed, civilian and contract personnel, with additional employees at the Naval Research Lab in Washington, D.C.

Supposedly there’s a 3D version of Top Gun coming out in 2012. Which means a whole new generation of kids will get to know Goose, Maverick, Iceman and the rest of the flyboys. Not to mention Kenny Loggins. Hm. Wonder what that much acid-washed denim looks like in three dimensions?

Like a battalion of glittery helpers, Espionage Cosmetics eye shadows are at the ready to take you from drab to fab, ho-hum to dayum, mommy to MILF-y.

We firmly believe that awesome is a color. We wear it every day. Espionage Cosmetics is proudly created and owned by a Professional Make-Up Artist and a US Marine. We know that skin comes in more colors than just peachy tones. That is why we create our lines with all ethnicities in mind. Chinese, Ethiopian, Mexican, Caucasian; you name it and there is a color in the Espionage rainbow that will compliment the skin tone. New collections are always in the works!

Cute stuff! As every Private Benjamin fan knows, sometimes the comforts of civilian life can make all the difference. We feel you, Judy Benjamin! At least until G.I. Jane came along. We don’t know what was in her duffel bag, but we’re betting there wasn’t a whole lot of makeup.

The WordPress party of the year, WordCamp Las Vegas, is scheduled for December 17th at UNLV. StickerGiant is a proud sponsor of this geekily groovy gathering. Check out the 4-sticker sheet we provided for the event!

WordCamp is a conference that focuses on everything WordPress. WordCamps are informal, community-organized events that are put together by WordPress users like you. Everyone from casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other.

See you in Sin City, but remember: what happens in Vegas, stays on the Internet forever.

With sincere hearts and bursting bellies, the team at StickerGiant wishes all of our customers a fantastic Thanksgiving. We are truly grateful for each and every one of you!

Over at EREV (stands for “electric revolution” in case you were wondering) they’ve got a truly new thing going. Sure, the bamboo decks, lock holes, and off road tires are fresh and all. But how about the 10-15 mile range on the battery? Wait…come again?

Here at EREV, we are about quickness and style in the form of skateboard transportation. Killing it in all forms of powered skate performance, along with the skate and surf lifestyle we know and love. We will be offering the highest quality parts and service at competitive rates while aiming to give back to our community. Since 2010, EREV has been committed to the streets and beaches that support our lifestyle. We are planning a complete switch to recycled packaging and offering products that support eco-friendly initiatives. We strive to do our very best when it comes to being eco-conscious.

Electric skateboards? What will they think of next? It’s such a crazy-cool idea we can hardly…aah…um….What?

To be completely honest with you, dear reader, it’s almost Thanksgiving and that’s so distracting that the brain doesn’t have for much else to ponder. All we can think about is turkey. And stuffing. Also mashed potatoes. And which uncle will drink too much beer (or will it be Grandma, like last year?). And where can we stash that last slice of pie so we can have it for breakfast on Friday morning. But we’d be lying if we didn’t secretly wish this would happen…just once.

One of our more rockin’ customers, Richard, ordered one of our more bodacious stickers and deemed it worthy of his electric guitar. Cool!

Maybe the eye candy will make him more inclined to practice? Because while we can’t speak for Richard’s chops, statistics indicate that we all need to work on it, like until the end of time, and even then we’ll never be this good. Or feel comfortable wearing that much Spandex in public. Sorry, Eddie, but somebody had to say it.

Rock on and thanks for sharing, Richard! And thank you for choosing StickerGiant!
