Seriously, I'm getting back on the podcast train, and I wanted to get on today and talk about freelancing and about us "snooty designers", as Forbes magazine recently discussed. I find myself educating my clients a lot about design, and I can understand how from the outside, design can look like a turtleneck-wearing, coffee-sipping elitists club. I want to smash that perception and give you the real shit from my point of view. Oh yes, I've also got a sweet surprise for you, courtesy of my new favorite printing company, UPrinting.com. Are you an artist, entrepreneur, or small business owner? UPrinting.com is giving away 1000 free standard size business cards and 1 free 18"x24" canvas print! For both items, you can choose from any of UPrinting.com's fabulous variety of stocks.

I would use the poster to post at the entrance of my meetup meeting room for Open Source Technology and Business.

I would like the canvas print for this website we just built for school that I may turn into a business after graduation. It would be nice to put up for the ceremony.

I would use the business cards to spread the word about Carbonfix.net, a next generation social network. It offers members the core services of the existing generation social networks plus additional features aimed at reducing both individual and institutional carbon emissions. Check out our (very rough) google site that is subbing for the fancy thing our geeks are working up. (We do own Carbonfix.net). http://sites.google.com/site/carbonfixnet/Home
