    Icon2 WordPress Jewelry?

    Saw this link passed on from Andrea regarding WordPress Jewelry.

    http://wpjewels.com/

    Can't believe they are sold out and on backorder! Taking a look around, I wouldn't mind having the WordPress pendant. What about you?

    P.S. I've sent them an interview request using their contact form but I have yet to receive any reply.

    I received word back from my interview inquiry. There is more to it but I think this excerpt is enough.

    we first want to hear from a WordPress official so that we can continue with the site. We don't want to create a business if that conflicts with the WordPress brand. This is not a legal issue from our point of view but more of a moral one.
    I hope they can continue as I want a WordPress Pendant!

    At least they were smart to start production and violation on the WordPress trademark without asking permission first instead.
    By smart I mean that they chose WP and not Microsoft because Microsoft's legal team would of violated them so hard certain area where the sun don't shine would be bigger that the size of our Solar system.






    But I do like the shwag idea. I am such a shwag-a-holic.
    I would like to state for the record that I will wear most shwag t-shirts with company logos at WordCamps if the WordCamp ticket is payed for :P

    I wonder if there is a WP ring around. What about a WordPress Power Morpher to turn into the black WordPress Ranger?

    I finally got an email from the WP Jewels folks yesterday explaining the delay. They have had some manufacturing problems which lead to them finding another producer. Also, the Cubed pendant will not be produced as originally thought. However, with the new producer, the prices have been lowered.

    I'm working on some interview questions to send to them, anyone have any questions they would like me to ask?

    So, right now, they're just offering earrings and a pendant?

    How about a tie tack? Seems the pendant could be easily modified...
