Recycle wear at Tadpole Studio.

Experimenting with Posterous.com and it’s ability to send posts to many of your social media sites. With Posterous it will accept a post coming from a authorized email and send it out to the sites you select. Other sites like Twitter, Flickr, Blogger, Tumblr, Twitpic or Twitxr will receive a post from any email as long as it goes to your private email address. I’ve been trying to figure out which way is better. With the Posterous method you don’t have to remember all the secret email addresses to send to. All you have to do is remember post@posterous.com. The downside is if you are trying to send a post from a non-registered (with Posterous) email address, it won’t get accepted. Another thing to keep track of is which sites you are sending posts to and which have unique posts. If you save a photo on Flickr and send it out later to Posterous then it will reappear on Flickr. I did this because I like the fact that Flickr re-sizes the photos for you and you don’t have to do any editing on your desktop. I think it is going to end up as a combination of private emails and posterous. Email list to Twitpic, Flickr and Twitxr, then email direct to posterous.com which then sends it to Blogger, WordPress, Tumblr and Posterous.

Anyway the photo above is from our friends at Tadpole Studio. Architects by day, underground artists by night, they held a recycle wear event to breath new life in your old t-shirts. You can bring your old Ts and they will print “This used to be…” on them. I brought a bunch of old, but never been worn, Ts from an old company of mine. I appropriately printed on them, “This used to be Yours.” I might even wear it around to see if anyone catches the joke.
