Yeah YouTube!!!
Kewl, keep us posted on how this model works.
Yeah RocketBoom!
Yeah t-shirts!
Yeah Joanne modeling t-shirts!
Yeah sponsorships (as long is it holds to the proposed model. AB, JC & crew need to eat too)
Yeah to pic posters staying under 400 x 400
Yeah Commenters! (a little self-indulgence for morale)
Rock on!
Good luck with the ad model. A nice, reliable stream of revenue cures so much of what can ail us.
Rocketboom moves into it’s capitalistic faze. FANTASTIC!
How much does one of those t-shirts cost with a Joanne in it?
Smacktle ducks…before pie hits him in the face.
With over 170 amazing t-shirt designs to choose from, you picked that!
We are just getting started Kam :)
Kam, who’s Kam? never heared of the guy. ;^)
Cool shirts, dude.
Congratulations on your YouTube sponsorship
Click HERE for larger image…
I don’t think the 400×400 rule should apply to original artwork, especially related to RB. This has a lot of detail.
Thanks for the Lolbooms Mike. Can has mor pleez!
\”Lolbooms.\” That word is great–I love it!
Well, Mike did provide us with a nice link to a larger version. I was just reiterating what I believe B-man originally brought up regarding Friday\’s comment section because IMHO it makes sense as it would lend to a cleaner look. Scrolling down a ways just to clear one picture in a comment section is a bit much; several pictures even more so.
Then again if The Rocket Baron doesn\’t like what goes on in here I\’m sure he\’ll let us know!
I’m glad you are sponsored, I guess. You guys deserve to make some dough after all this time.
But don’t become sellouts and start telling us about “cool” youtube videos (no such thing) or really great salads because Subway buys a sponsorship.
Anyway - I really liked the links today.
And I bought a T-shirt.
;-}
Just curious as to why the classic white-T ships in 2-4 days and the gray and blue ones ship in 1-3 days?!
Hmmm… They should all say 2-4 days. (Although we should get these first ones out fairly quickly.) I\’ll change that immediately.
I love any episode with Tesla coils in it! zzzzzzap.
I\’m not surprised that you\’re starting out a sponsorship program, but I am surprised you could keep it up for so long without any sponsorship. Venture capital was the answer from a friend, but nevertheless, those hi-performance media servers must cost a whole lot. Which I btw must compliment you for. Never had a hiccup when watching RB, unlike today\’s sponsor… He-hem.
Say, is there any chance of seeing a reduced fee for non-profit/low-profit sites? Or is the only way to get on RB in that case to provide a sufficiently interesting story? :D
yeah like those Tesla coils too - but that seems to be a repeat - heh this isn\’t network TV - no reruns allowed -right?
Because we all need sponsors and hate ads, blowing up stuff from the sponsor would be a great comprimise. It might also make our lives easier. Would you care to try it?

JoCo looks fetching in the new RB t-shirts. But she looks much better in her usual fashions. T-shirts remind me too much of Amanda and her heaving bosoms. Joanne is much classier, and her wardrobe proves it.
Heave Away!
love your tesla coils!!!
Are these the products of last year\’s t-shirt design contest? What happened to the famed Series 11?
Just because I\’m an annoying scientist, and also in case someone wants to go out and get some, I thought I\’d point out that it\’s sodium acetate, not sodium accitate.
Can\’t see ! The eye doctor gave me these weird eye drops that makes light 1000 times brighter and it feels as if I\’m in a London Fog. So…no b-links today.
Xcuse me while I go put on some shades, this computer is way to bright. Be back in 6 hours if I\’m lucky.
(such a devoted fan-man!)
It felt like I had bats in the belfry. Cool shades. Are those RB shades?
(just developed a new product for you Drew–little RB logo on each temple)
The pic is supposed to represent your comment on not being able to see correctly, not being nuts or \’batty\’, you never heard the term \”blind as a bat\”?

Now these are some cool shades:
No I did understand but was still under the influence…of those crazy eye drops…Thanks for the gesture Kam, much appreciated, it was a really cute bat, thought it would start doing the jig. However, I was still feeling disoriented, so I made the bats in the Belfry comment, as I couldn\’t seem to think straight….The boar/pig looks like he\’s checking out a TOTAL eclipse of the sun.
Just testing things out, had some comment downtime.
If HomeLand Security gets its way
your cell phone will be a walking laboratory.
Shove that in your ear….

I think cell phones should also be able to determine
if you\’re pregnant, what sex the child will be,
your blood pressure, if you\’re too intoxicated to drive,
act as a lie detector, and, of course, automatic
pizza dialup no matter where you are on the planet.

OMG, there\’s an axe in my head.

This post is brought to you by the Michlin Explorer!
Whenever I see something like this, I feel obligated to link here.
Hey, what about the 400 rule?
I though it was the 4000 rule!
Arena, could you post the code/site on how to reduce size of pics again?
Thanks
The Pixel Police Are Out Looking For Me! and I only posted 5 minutes ago! OMG!
Pixel Police are after B-man!

Don’t worry B-man, I’ve got your back….
Helvetica, Arial, Verdana. someone help! I wish I was packing an Italic Font. This is pixel abuse. I\’m going to the UN…must run …faster…
The unofficial RB Comments Club sanctioned size of 400 x 400 is a guideline for overall size but will render a square image, so if you have a rectangular image you can reduce the width & height proportionately to within 400 pixels to maintain a good looking B-pic.
<img src=\’http://www.your_picture_domain.com/your_image.gif\’ width=\”w\” height=\”h\”>
where w & h = number of pixels under 400 & use the quotations.
Thanks CC, Kam, but the Pixel Police have me gagged and locked up in some rat-infested basement. I was allowed one \”comment\” on the net…this is it.
Will try to join The 400 Club…or risk getting clubbed again.
Boy when those Pixel Police get together that sure pack quite a punch.
(wish I had a donut, perhaps I could\’ve stopped them in their tracks)
B-man runs away, leading them on a low-speed chase!!!!!

When they finally catch B-man, they learn him a lesson!!!

So kids remember, don\’t waste pixels, os soon there won\’t be any more.
Do I get to share a jail cell with Paris? There are worse things in life you know.

I think I was born with an axe in my head. Waiting for \”Cate Blanchette\” to pull it out like that mythical story of pulling the sword out of the stone… the title escapes me at the moment ( axe brain interferes with neuron firings) and live happily ever after.
(Well at least when \”I have an axe to grind\” people let me get away with it.)
show is a little late today. maybe it\’s being held hostage until monday\’s show breaks 1,000 views on youtube?
The Pixel Police sure know how to torture a guy, they love YouTube too.
Theye keep playing and replaying this song hoping I\’ll break down and post 400 pixels. They want me to be a conformist. So far negotiating at 880 pixels.
You listen to this 50 times…
