Leaving A Digital Footprint

Posted on by

One of my favorite Pixar movies is “Coco.” It’s a wonderful animation about a little boy from Mexico named Miguel, who dreams of becoming a musician. He travels to the Land of the Dead, during Dia de los Muertos. Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), is a multi-day holiday observed by family and friends who gather to pay their respects to loved ones who have died.

I recently watched the movie again, and it got me thinking about what memories I might leave after passing. Kind of strange to think that one day my physical body will not be on earth.

It occurred to me that everything I have put into this blog (posts, music, ideas, photographs) will become my ‘digital footprint.’ Hopefully, it will still be floating around in cyberspace long after I am gone.

My genetic line will disappear after my death, but my digital DNA will survive. Will it matter to anyone else who stumbles upon it? Probably not, but it matters to me now, and well, that makes me happy.

Creation is life – therefore be creative. Now go make something, and above all — Be Happy!

The ‘STORE’ Is Open For Business

Posted on by

For the last couple of months, I have been working on putting a store front on my blog. Well, today it has gone live!

Here is the link to Mr. G’s Mind store, hosted by Redbubble:

You can also access this link on the website navigation menu bar, by clicking on Store.

Redbubble enables a designer to host their designs, and place them on 100’s of products: shirts, phone cases, stickers, mouse pads, even clocks for sale. They take the orders, get the product printed, and shipped to the customer. Of course, they take a large percentage of the sale price, but the designer does not have to deal with a ‘physical’ business. For me, that’s a huge plus!

Here is a screen shot of some of the available products. Thus far I have only posted 12 designs, but I plan to grow and improve the site with much more.

If you follow my blog, you may notice that some of the designs have been the subject of a few posts. For example: AlphaWEAR Clothing Line.

I hope that you will take a look, bookmark, and share the link on your social media sites. Perhaps you will even make a purchase! Five percent of my take goes to a local zoo’s educational fund.

So far it’s been a fun project. If you are a designer, photographer, or even a poet, you could use Redbubble to display your creations, and perhaps make some side money too. Go for It!
