Also, FWIW, I actually DID consider “IM IN UR BIZNES, PROVIDIN UR SOLUTIONZ” but wanted the caption to be more of an enticement to do business (”I CAN HAS UR BIZNES?”). Maybe my next round of cards will bear the “IM IN UR BIZNES” caption.

IM IN UR BIZNESS, PROVIDIN UR SOLUTIONZ

P.S. we need to look at what is wrong with the openID stuff I can’t log in.

You amused me though. Perhaps that’s good enough

I do realize it’s risky and the “in joke” is certainly exclusive, but that’s another thing I’ve learned: I cannot take just any work for the sake of having work. The card is going to serve as a kind of “clue filter” as well–I already know I don’t want to engage clients who aren’t going to at least look at the card and chuckle–even if they aren’t fully indoctrinated into the Internet meme culture.

Frankly, I’m done working with “Product Managers” who are trying to create “revolutionary new Web 2.0 applications” who haven’t gotten the faintest clue as to what is “hot” on the web. I want to deal with people who, if they don’t eat-live-and-breathe web culture, at least have their finger on the pulse, or at least know where to find it.

Sure, this excludes some potential work that I might want to take on, but I’d rather do less work and kick ass doing it because I love it than to be overworked and unfulfilled.

Please bear in mind there are many, many people who despite being technically savvy do not have any idea what a LOLcat is — or may simply not care. They may just look at this with blank eyes and wonder what the heck that misspelled text on the front (back?) is supposed to mean.

It’s hard to remember that not everyone is in on the joke, but believe me, there are lots of folks who are not in on the joke, and do not want to be. I suspect you’ll be better served in the long run by erring on the side of professionalism; you can always joke with a prospective client later on down the line.

I didn’t think people I already knew would want these cards. This is really cool! Now I can’t wait to get the cards!
