New iPhone back: I made a custom Gelaskin for my iPhone 3GS. Easy to apply, easy to remove, no air bubbles, very soft. The iPhone is sitting in my Xtand. Note: The design came from the artist.

Chibi version of Dave: I found an artist online to draw me. What a great experience. I mentioned that I was a Starbucks junkie and an Apple fanboy. I showed her some pictures of myself and described what kind of clothes I wear. Well, here’s the result.

Full body version of Dave: Here’s another drawing by the artist. Again, a Starbucks cup appears in the background next to a laptop showing my website. I love it.

New Starbucks Gold Card: Well, the Starbucks Gold Card is finally… gold. The best part though is my name being printed on it. Awesome. This was mailed to me along with the details of the new program. Free drink “just for being gold.” Free drink on my birthday. 2 hours of wi-fi every day. Free refills on coffee. Free syrups. Free soymilk (apparently they charge more?) Free coffee every time I purchase a pound of beans (which I do - Pike Place Roast) Exclusive offers & coupons (this is serious - Starbucks once put $10 on the card for no reason) Free drink every 15 stars (you get a star each time you buy a drink) My only concern is I don’t see anything about my usual 10% off everything deal. Uh oh. Note: This photo required macro mode to achieve legible text. Also, underneath is the XKCD Online Communities Poster.

Starbucks travel case: For $5 I purchased a travel case for my Starbucks VIA packets. It came with 4 reusable stirrers. This in addition to my passport makes me ready for my ski trip to Canada.
